Watery Wednesday #7

Since I shared a little of my world in the post before this one, I thought I'd keep it on the same track and post these for Watery Wednesday. City Walk and Universal Studios kind of go hand in hand though you don't have to go to one to enjoy the other. If I remember, I'll post more about it next week for My World Tuesday. In the meantime I'll leave you with the water feature in front of Universal Studios and a water feature inside of Universal City Walk.



During the summer I've seen kids play in the water.

My World Tuesday #2

My World Tuesday is a new meme hosted by Klaus, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy Tom over at Show Your World.

I live in a city that is a part of Los Angeles County and I'm about 28 miles from downtown Los Angeles. I think one of the reasons people like L.A. is because within about a 1-2 hr. drive you literally have anything can possibly want to do. I thought this week I'd share just a little bit of Hollywood. I apologize in advance for the length of this post but you can't show Hollywood in one picture.

The first picture is of the Kodak Theatre which has hosted the Academy Awards since 2001.


This is the front of the Grauman's Chinese Theater. It's always packed out front where people look for the footprints of their favorite celebrities.


In case you can't read these you can click for a larger view. The first is the cast of Harry Potter and the next is Humphrey Bogart.




Or you can walk the boulevard and look at the celebrity names that line the street or get your picture taken with a movie star lookalike:



Along with the souvenirs you can buy like the John Lennon doll you can also visit places like the Hollywood Wax Museum and Ripley's Believe It Or Not.

SANTA MONICA PIER & VENICE BEACH

I decided to head out to the pier yesterday. I heard it was going to be a little cloudy and the waves were supposed to be 7-10 feet. I thought, great! That should make for some interesting photos. Well, it wasn't cloudy and the waves weren't that tall but I still got some great pics. You can see some of them at my other blog Down Around L.A..
