A week in photos: January 23 - January 28

As the year progresses, I am finding it is harder to get on every day and post pictures, but I have continued to take the photos daily. So here is my week in photos...

January 28, 2012 - Saturday

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Homemade fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. A delicious dinner cooked by a friend on Saturday and a great way to end the week!

January 27, 2012 - Friday

Location: Long Beach, CA

We had a field trip with my class on Friday to the Long Beach Town Center. This picture was taken while waiting for the city busy. This little girl can't help but show love. Sometimes it is so much that it almost hurts, so you can decide is this is an embrace of endearment or a head lock.

January 26, 2012 - Thursday

Location: Long Beach, CA

On Thursday I went for a long run at El Dorado Park. It was a beautiful day and an exhausting, but relaxing run. Running for me is a form of escape, especially when I am in nature. I love breathing fresh air, admiring beautiful scenery, listening to worship music and letting my thoughts flow. I ran 8 miles; Another step toward my goal of a half marathon this Spring. Before the run, I did a mini nature walk looking for artistic pictures. This is my favorite; a close-up look at something usually insignificant.

January 25, 2012 - Wednesday

Location: Long Beach, CA

Another picture in my apartment, making something everyday artistic. Starring in this photo are fake flowers from my bridesmaid bouquet at my sister's wedding and a picture made of dung that I bought in Yellowstone National Park.

January 24, 2012 - Tuesday

Location: Whittier, CA

I had a lovely evening with a friend on Tuesday. Her apartment had many different things to photograph. In the end, I decided on a picture of her bookshelves. Instead of posting some artistic angles that involved laying on the floor, I chose this one that represents a shelf of my favorite Christian author, Francine Rivers.

January 23, 2012 - Monday

Location: Long Beach, CA

On Monday, I went back to school, again. This time I am taking a class I didn't take as a grad student at CSULB. I am very excited to learn a new skill that might be helpful for future jobs in anthropology, Lord willing I can find one.
