South Coast Botanic Garden, Palos Verdes Estates

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

These photos were taken at the South Coast Botanic Garden on June 29, 2012. I mentioned a couple weeks ago that we had purchased a membership to the South Coast Botanic Garden primarily because it gave us access to 250 other arboretums; we then visited Descanso Gardens in La Canada using the card. Yesterday we decided to see what was in our own back yard. The place is huge, about 87 acres. We had no idea how big it was until we looked at a map on the way out. We barely scratched the surface. We will definitely be back. …

Today the Stanley Cup arrived in Hermosa Beach, CA and about 5,000 people showed up to welcome it to the beach. The Cup was accompanied by Los Angeles Kings center and Hermosa Beach resident (during hockey season anyway), Jarret Stoll. Representing the City of Hermosa Beach was a slew of Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce members, elected officials and a couple fire trucks. It was a beautiful day in Hermosa and the Stanley Cup looked great in the bright sunshine. You could see the sun bouncing off it as it traveled down Pier Avenue and it was still a few …

Sunday on the Main Stage at the 2012 PV Street Fair

These photos are of the musical entertainment found on the Main Stage on Sunday at the 2012 Palos Verdes Street Fair & Music Festival. While this was my first PV Street Fair, it was pretty obvious by the attendance around the main stage that there were plenty of regular visitors; and there were bands that were definitely crowd favorites. I found myself rocking while photographing the crowd and the bands. The bands featured are Zydeco Party Band, Jimbo Ross & the Bodacious Blues Band, Pretzel Logic, Credence Relived and Ticket to Ride. While I enjoyed all the acts, Pretzel Logic …

These photos are from Sunday at the 2012 Palos Verdes Street Fair & Music Festival. Since I got so many photos Sunday, I am forced to break the day up into three sections to make it easier for you to find the photos you are looking for. This particular gallery consists of the following: the petting zoo, the pony rides, the carnival rides and games and ending with the vendors. As I mentioned in the gallery of vendors from Saturday, one of the reasons I take so many photos is to help give exposure to local businesses. That being said, …

This past weekend was the 25th Annual Palos Verdes Street Fair & Music Festival. Those of you that are regular guests know I have a tendency to take a lot of photos when I cover an event; and as the official photographer you know I took thousands of photos each day. In order to make them manageable, and so you can find yourself, your kids, pets or booth I will break Saturday and Sunday into three groups for each day. This gallery consists of the Top Dogs Show, the musical entertainment on the main stage (includes The Iliana Rose Cuban …

Watch Party, Game 2 of the 2012 Stanley Cup at ESPN Zone

, , , , , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

These photos were taken at the Watch Party of Game Two of the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals held at the ESPN Zone at L.A. Live, across from the Staples Center. My son and his family are big Los Angeles Kings fans and since the Kings have never lost a championship game they attended, they decided to make the 100 miles (each way) ride to see if watching the game from across the street from Staples would help or not. Apparently it did, as the Los Angeles Kings defeated the New Jersey Devils 2-1 in overtime. Anyway, my daughter drove out …
