The Getty Museum, Los Angeles

I spent a day at the Getty museum. It's a fabulous art gallery set on it's own hill overlooking downtown LA. If you want to go there, you have to park your car in the vast underground lot under highway 405 and take the short monorail ride up.

The plantings around the Getty are awe inspiring.

Sometimes you'll actually SEE the downtown of LA from this vantage point!

Our Art with Loose Threads Retreat is upon us once again...amazing how quickly a year goes by!
I'm really looking forward to good company, good food and much creativity!

The Trip starts in Los Angeles

As I couldn't post to my blog while I was away....(so frustrating!!!)I'm going to share some of the images with you now. I took 4113 photos...(gotta love digital!!) and I'm beginning the slow process of winnowing out the blurry, the just plain black and the many shots of dashboards I seemed to have taken on my travels!
I arrived in to LA to find the Encounter Restaurant at the airport being worked on. This is such an iconic sight ...so LA...they serve great martinis! As I drove up Mulholland Highway I met this unlikely vehicle coming my way.....what could it possibly have been plowing???

Even though I was in the midst of Los Angeles, there are many canyons where you can hardly believe you're in a big city...especially this one!

I dipped my toes in to the Pacific Ocean at Santa Monica beach...a little chilly...and I plan on dipping the same toes in to the Pacific from the other side......
