My husband Eric and I recently returned from a 9-day trip out west. Here are a few photos from our first destination, Pasadena CA. Rather than lug my heavy 70-200 mm lens, I opted instead to take my "walk around" Nikkor lens, the 18-200mm, paired with my D300s body. The glass is not so great and the images not so sharp, but since this wasn't a paying job, it worked fine for posting photos online and for preparing photo books. (Click on any photo to enlarge).

| This sweeping staircase was a block or so away from the Pasadena Convention Center. |

| The shopping area recently passed its 10-year mark on the store leases. I was told that some of the larger name stores left and the mall is still working on regaining customer traffic. Since there were so few people walking around, I felt like I had the whole place to myself .. Paradise! |

| Telephone lines and road signs are the bane of all photographers. To get his shot, I walked several blocks toward the mountains. On the way, I discovered the gorgeous Pasadena City Hall, below. |
I'm still editing all the photos from this trip, close to 1,000 frames. Next up will be the marvelous gardens of Filoli, in the South Bay.
