I'm in love with La Mirada

On a little walk with Nate today around La Mirada, I remembered how much I adore this city. The houses are so unique. SO quirky. So wonderful. More than that, the people who were out in their yards said hello! (maybe the fact that I was beaming made them feel obligated?)

All I had was my camera phone {and my mind, and my heart, and my man}. Love it or hate it, just experience what I saw in some form. BECAUSE IT BREATHED LIFE INTO MINE! maybe it will to yours too.

I've had my eye on this one forever...

I walk by it twice a week

(how is this from a camera phone?)

my dream home, the only one where the weeds ran wild and free, and i just so happened to match it. *sigh*

oh, that lonely little palm.

rock garden? pardon me?
