Goodbye Willy
We love you

His Spirit soars in Heaven and here on Earth.
If you knew Willy, you knew the wisdom of his Daorw.

Princess the Cat

Dee — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:36:05 +0000

I moved into this magical fairy cottage in Burbank.
There are no pets allowed… No animals in captivity that is.
Meet Princess.
She used to be an indoors cat.
Now she is an outdoors cat.
The neighbors love her and she has a bowl at each house.
She loves me too.
A lot.

Here is Princess modeling.
And taking a cat nap.

Meow.

Happy Holidays!

A friend commented on my photos one day,
“Diana, you see so many wonderful things! I see the same s*** every day!”
I said to him,
“You need to keep your head up and look around. If you keep your head down and look at the ground, of course you see the same s*** every day!”

Keep your head up.
There is so much to see and experience.
So much to be thankful for…
Every day.

A packed house on Shoestring Trio Night at The Foundry is feeding fire to my passions: music, art, and food.

It was a wonderful night out with Ariel and meeting new friends of Robby’s.

Highlights include…
Saying hello to The Foundry founder Eric Greenspan…
Experiencing the wonderful warmth of the hostess,
the diligence of the bartender,
the ambiance of the restaurant,
a Food Network-esque atmosphere,
the beautiful sounds of Shoestring Trio
that makes me feel like I am in another era…
A dream come true!

Enjoy the photos!

Open Your Heart to the Sun | Gabrielle Lagman

Dee — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:58:50 +0000

Today the angels paid my soul. I photographed my friend Gabrielle teaching yoga to kids in the first grade. Wow! We started at 8am until about 11am. About 4 classes of kids came by and they were all very unique, sweet, innocent, adorable, peaceful, … Yoga mats were donated by Manduka (it means frog) and they are going to feature Gabrielle in their newsletter, so she asked me to take the photos :) Gabrielle is very wonderful with the kids. It’s inspiring to see her influence the lives of these children.

Gabrielle will be teaching Yoga every Monday until February

These kids inspire me.

Mason the Black Stallion

Dee — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 05:10:03 +0000

Meet Mason, the Black Stallion.
Thank you Ariel for introducing him to me.
Mason is a special magical unicorn.
Instant love.

The entire back pasture on the left with the fence is Mason's.

I'm riding bare-back for the first time and he let me!

This my my favorite photo of Mason with the highlights from the sun on his black coat.

Horse shoes are very painful, so Mason doesn't wear any. His hoof is equivalent to one of our fingernails. The very sensitive area is at the center.

Horses can smell up to three miles away.

Horses noses are very soft like velvet.

I love how he scrunches up his eyes. I was doing the same. :)

This is Taco the pony! Taco will be sharing the pasture area with Mason.

This is Spot. He is very mischievious!

This is Cajun!

Spot and Cajun

Princess!

Zoe!

Calvin!
