photo by Kirill Surov, via his Flickr photostream A nice warm weather photo of a ferry on Lake Ontario in Toronto. I think this may be our first photo of a ferry — we tend to run a lot of photos of trains. I’ll have to remedy that, as there [continue reading]
photo by Jory, via Flickr If you guessed that’s the Gelson’s on Hyperion Avenue in Silver Lake, then you guessed correct. I like this photo because there is nothing fancy about it — it’s just a nice shot of a dude riding his bike in L.A. To submit a photo [continue reading]
