I love Cigar Store Indians and started snapping pictures of them throughout Orange County about a month ago. Here are three; in Orange at the Circle, in an antique store in San Juan Capistrano, and in Frontierland in Disneyland.

I’m going to try posting a daily song along with my photo.

Thanks to the magic of BLIP.fm, I am able to post a song and you are able to listen to it–free. If you aren’t familiar with BLIP.fm, it’s a bit like the love child of iTunes and Twitter. It’s a comunity of people who love music but, it’s also like a jukebox, playing the songs you choose–again, for free.

When you add DJ’s to your group, you can listen to their music as well–did I mention it’s free? If you want to join me there, click on the big, yellow BLIP.fm button and get yourself distracted by yet another social network. Seriously, Facebook? How two months ago…

The Daily Song was Elivis Costello’s Shipbuilding.

Seven trillion dollars to the person who can name where each window is located. 

Today, dear friends of ours got married in San Clemente.

It was a brilliant day.

I wore my favorite red dress.

The “Way 2 Fast” shop in the Orange Circle (or The Plaza if you like) is Way-2- Cool-a-place not to take a little boy. John, the owner, has assembled the most mind-boggling array of Pez, Hot Wheels, tin lunch boxes, and bobble heads I have ever seen.

My son collects Pez dispensers, so a trip to Way 2 Fast is almost always the answer to “What do you want to do today?” Follow it up with a stop by Watson’s for a shake at the counter and it is the perfect 4-year-old date.

I pass a Catholic cemetery every day on my way to take the kids to school. This statue barely peeks above the hill. You can just see the top of his hands from the road.

Finally, I had to go see what the entire statue looked like.

It marks a family grave. I honestly don’t know who it is supposed to be: Jesus? A Saint?

I love the autumn sky in this picture. So I made it my first entry for Sky Watch Friday.
