Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 18

The calendar flipped from April to May in the midst of the 18th week of 2013. And it was another much-needed week spent mainly in and around the apartment in downtown. However, a Dodger game, a visit to USC’s campus and a Kings playoff game did add a little spice to the week’s images.

Remember, to see any image full size, just click right on it! Let’s take a look at the photos from April 29-May 5. Enjoy!

Photo-a-Day 2013: Week 3

If you’re following along, you already know about my “Photo of the Day” project on the blog. Along with my Lyric of the Day (#LOTD2013) project on Twitter, I’m keeping my senses of sight and sound active every day.

Here are the images from the third full week of 2013:
