52 Weeks of Happy 2/52

I missed a couple weeks but here I am.  
Something that makes me happy is sunsets. I love to see them and I love to take photos of them.

Here is a sunset in Highland.  I only walked to the corner where I wouldn't have a house in my way.  Nature is the frame.  What I mean is the dark area above are the black clouds. The trees frame the sides and the hills frame the bottom.  It was an amazing night.
This is a December 2012 sunset.


Here is a sunset from January 2012.  We were on our way to church. This is in Highland looking towards Redlands.


Here is a sunset that I painted.


Here is an almost sunset at Redondo Beach. I am saying:
PRAISE THE LORD!!!


Again here I am at Redondo Beach in April 2010. This is why I have on a sweatshirt.

A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, visit SouleMama leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

Disneyland trip for Peanut's 10th birthday.

Yes We had FUN at the FAIR !

I showed ya'll the knitting from the L.A.County Fair but I didn't show you the fun.
So here are the photos from our fun afternoon.

After the Textile Building we watched a parade.  I love the Clydesdale team of horses:




 There were also marching bands and old cars in the parade.  I just like the horses best.

Then Peanut couldn't wait any longer. She put up with a couple hours in the knitting building. Now it was time for a few rides.



We then found the National Parks Exhibit. It was my kind of place. I love spending time in this environment.
This is outside of the Exhibit.


It was 104 degrees and we were so so so hot.
We walked inside to a cool, humid building with these Rams looking down on us.

Deep inside we could see behind the Rams.

We saw a mosquito. Actually there was a wooden picnic table full of them.

Peanut looks pretty with the hydrangeas.

A strange waterfall where the water ran down fiberglass fabric.

Here is Peanut with a very large moose.

I think this park was Yosemite.

Peanut and myself with the deer.

Peanut so beautiful.  See the deer behind her?

Giant leaf fountain was strange.

The orchids were beautiful.

Then it was time for some food.  We went for the bbq ribs. Not real healthy with all those fries and bread.  But we were good and didn't eat any cotton candy or junk food that day.

Here is Peanut after eating almost all her dinner.

That coleslaw you see in the photo was not good. We didn't eat it.

Well we spent some time in the shopping buildings and bought a few things. Peanut got a doll and we both got a slushie cup maker thingie.

We had fun. We needed more time. We had to leave early because it was a school night and the fair is an hour drive from our house.

Thanks for looking.  Happy Knitting to you all.
