I grabbed this shot while walking down El Centro yesterday. (See tiny me reflected up there at the bottom of the round mirror?) When I saw the image, I realized it had a few qualities I really like. It's happy, it's silly, it's weird, it's imperfect, it's off-kilter, it's unsettling, it's casual, it's unpretentious and it's carefree --all good things to celebrate today, on my birthday!
Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY, youngin. It's a great shot to celebrate your birthday with. Now, about that cake ... I think you can guess what's coming here. That's right, if you look over your shoulder there's an apple pie following you with birthday candles and party hats, horns and streamers. Have a wonderful day Laurie and thanks for your very inspirational comments about Wyeth.
Happy Birthday!! It actually took me a while to figure out what the picture was. From a glimpse, it looked like the mirror was zooming into something. After a few minutes of staring, I realized that it was a mirror by the side of a building. LOL! I hope you enjoy your day! It's the weekend. Time to celebrate! (=
Happy birthday beautiful you!!! May life bring all your best wishes and all the happiness you can bear. Live long and full of health so we all can have the pleasure and the honor of having you in our world even if it is this cyber world, but as long as you are in it we will be more than happy. Big happy birthday kiss to you, I’m afraid I’m too far away for baking you your so well deserved birth day cake, sorry...
Happy, Happy birthday Laurie!!! I love the whimsical nature of this pic...especially the tiny self portrait in the mirror...sounds quite psychodynamic!!! Hope you had a lovely celebration!
Allow me to add the 27th comment and add my good wishes. Hope you had a fabulous day.I love your wonky little shot as well!!! Is there any cake left or did W eat it all? V
In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena. This daily blog covered almost 5 years as I put down roots in my new home town -- and almost 5 more as I settled in and became a South Pas old-timer. Here it is...my time capsule of South Pasadena.

Double D is right. There can be no cake for Laurie. It must be a hot apple pie and since it's your birthday, make sure to have it a'la mode.
