Some day I’m going to get an extra camera and have it converted. [...]

I went to the Los Angeles Arboretum on Monday. The weather has been amazing, and I’m trying to get moving, having spent the last couple of months being a lazy lump. I’d never been to the Arboretum before. It’s a beautiful park-like place, but I was surprised to find how few flowers [...]
