thoughts of home

All right everyone, so this month is the second edition of Lauren’s "Get the Picture!" This month's theme is home. I had originally planned to photograph my room and home but then decided I wanted to challenge myself a bit so I went out and photographed my hometown Whittier. Since I spend a majority of my time in Los Angeles, I often like to refer to it as "my city" yet Whittier is where I live and where I grew up. I love it here.

This is Central Park and just down the street is Uptown Whittier. Abraham and I go to Uptown a lot since there is a movie theatre, record store, book store, vintage shop and plenty of good restaurants.



Uptown Whittier is filled with historic houses such as this one.



Many of the historic houses have some of the cutest gardens I've ever seen. I officially want my very own garden :)



Can you believe this is Children's art? They are so cute! (The next three photos are random shots.)





Yesterday I signed up for YELP. I decided to sign up since I always read Yelp reviews before I try out a new place (99.9% of the time the reviews are accurate). Are any of you on there? Leave me your link if you are and I'll be sure to check it out :)
