Map of our trip
The Dal in La-La Land and I were looking for a new place to visit. Sometimes, I just drive and hope to see something new. We drove downtown last weekend, and discussed going to the Brewery or the San Antonio Winery, and even drove passed these sites, but it was hot and we thought we'd try to find a shady spot instead. We jumped on the freeway and when we saw a sign for the Southwestern Museum, a light bulb went off. Ok, we'd been there before, but we didn't know Schuyler then and agreed that we'd walk the hills where Schuyler once lived. He gave me a black and white xerox a landscape from the area, which was to say,at the very least, unclear. However, Schuyler paints from memory and Buddy the Dal and I were taking my digital to the hills!
This is a photo I took of the hills we were walking up. I live in Highland Park and am familiar with it's hills, however, the hills behind the Southwestern are so fabulous! The folks who live there welcomed the Bud and I and their dogs peeked the Bud's interest...but we kept moving up, up and up. The Bud was sniffing and I was photographing the beautiful flora as we climbed.

I found this house and property interesting. I loved how it is tucked into the hill and the colours are so stunning. Adjacent, there is a luscious green lot with four colourful chairs. I wondered it they sat there at night and talked about how wonderful it is to live there. I think they do. The Bud agreed.

The Bud was doing everything in his power this Sunday to avoid the camera. He's usually a ham, so I thought it best to capture his mood, especially because his pet mom, me, is also camera shy. He's an old guy, but still gorgeous even when he chooses to avoid fame.

...having said all that, the Bud livens up in the car as usual. I love to see him smile from ear to ear... xoxo from me to the Bud, my old doggie...
(p.s. I'd love you even more if you stop pooping in the car.)
