The worst thing about the trip was all the splendid scenery that was missed as we charged to the next mountain. This is somewhere in Scotland, I think, I was asleep two minutes before this was taken and asleep again two minutes after.
The Upper Pasadena Arroyo is an amazing place for all kinds of architecture. American Cratsman by the Greene Brothers dominate, but there is much more. A Usonian Unitarian Neighborhood church anchors one end of Westmoreland Place, contrasting sharply with the Gamble House on the other. Around the corner on Prospect Crescent is the famous Frank Lloyd Right Millard House (La miiatura). Three are homes by Frederick Roehrig, Myron Hunt, and a little further out Train and Williams. There is so much to tease the sights and senses.
Most of the houses are protected withi one of two National Register Historic Districts: Park Place-Arroyo Terrace Historic District, and Pasadena Arroyo Parks and Recreation District. Some also are monuments in their own right.

Usonian-ish, with a nod to the old neighborhood church it replaced after a devistating fire.

National Register of Historic Places No. 77000299
Charles and Henry Greene
American Craftsman. As mentioned above, the Hawks and Bentz houses, both built in 1906, are near twins of each other. The green house in the rear is a treat.

645 Proospect Crescent
National Register of Historic Paces No. 76000493
Frank Lloyd Wright.
Lloyd Wright (1926 Studio addition).
Experimental in nature, it's the first of FLW's "Knit Block" or "Textile Block" houses. It gives the feel of a Mayan ruin - especially in it's current state of decay. The so-called famous view from the gates on Rosemont is almost unrecognizable through the overgrowth.
13. McMurran House, 1911
499 Prospect Terrace
Frederick L Roehrig
A versital Roehrig in the Mission Style.
14. Prospect Boulevard Gates, 1906
Prespect Blvd at Orange Grove
Charles and Henry Greene
The mature camphor trees with the gates create a picturesque setting. The extensive use of clinker brick is wonderful.
15. Duncan-Irwin House, 1900 (Enlarged in 1906)
20 N Grand Ave
Charles and Henry Greene
The Greenes added a second story and east wing to their original 1900 single-story bungalow. This large and beautiful now commands it's corner.
16. james A Colbertson House, 1902 & 1914 (Remodelled in 1953)
235 N Grand Ave
Charles and Henry Greene
Smith and Williams (1953 Remodel)
Not often is the term "Modernist" used to describe a Greene & Greene house. But here we have it. In 1953 the architecture team of Smith & Williams were commissioned to "update" this American Craftsman bungalow to a 1950's Modernist. To be honest, I don't think the result is all that bad. Thankfully the architects made the changes on condition the Tiffany glass front door and pergola around the property be saved.
17. Van Rosem House, 1904
210 N Grand Ave
Charles and Henry Greene
This house looks like the Greenes might have been going for something Bavarian, but stopped short of the full effect, causing it to look more like a large barn. (Not a bad thing BTW).
18. Myron Hunt House, 1905
200 N Grand Ave
Myron Hunt
Exactly what you'd expect from Myron Hunt's personal residence. Restrained, simple, American Craftsman.
19. Newcomb House, 1900 & 1922
141 N Grand Ave
Unknown
A huge Tudor mansion, complete wiith servant quarters and gate house.
20. Park House, 1904

Unknown
A Colonial Revival anomoly in a mostly Craftsman neighborhood.

90 N Grand Ave
Charles and Henry Greene
American Craftsman with alterations.
22. Queen Anne House, c 1887
203 N Grand Ave
Unknown
Probably one of the first houses in the neighborhood (if not the first). Moved aparently several times. The belfry is it's best attribute.
23. Charles Sumner Greene House
1901, 1906, 1912 & 1914
368 Arroyo Terrace
Charles and Henry Greene
There was a crooked house, on a crooked lane . . . Depite the frequent tinkering, the Charles Greene's personal residence is one of the most charming in the neighborhood.
24 & 25 Bavarian Hunting Lodges,1924
373 & 405 Mira Vista Terrace
Train and Williams
Long after tastes had run to more classical architecture, Train and Williamms continued in the American Craftsman tradition, that they helped bring to Southern California. These two Bavarian Hunting Lodges are typical, and excellent examples of their tallent.
This was a completely unplanned event. Jenny, one of our models, brought her friend Larissa to our shoot at the Anchorage Museum in August 2010. Larissa had no intention of shooting, had never done this before, and just came along to watch. However, once she concluded we were harmless and clueless and actually knew what we were doing she decided to join in - and I am so glad she did!
Larissa has a natural beauty and a great personality - she was so much fun to shoot with - and then I found out from Jenny shortly after the shoot that Larissa moved to Florida - bummer. Definitely a loss for Alaska,

The fog was teasing me. The sun would light up these kayaks for a few seconds and then it would disappear. I took a few shots, but in the end the sky was better in this shot that had the kayaks in low light. They are a bit grainy from me trying to bring the colors back up.
Yes, this photo is a little bit out of order. I'm a flickr whore. I like having my favorite shot of the most recent uploads on top of my stream.
This guy was hanging around today, getting seeds the birds knocked down on the ground. For a while he was just outside the dining-room window; thus this picture. (The cat, inside, was very attentive.) If you look closely, you can see the back of our house in his eye.

1 Samuel 16:7
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

This was my first shoot with Leidy - hopefully the first of many; we met through Model Mayhem and I knew within 0.23 seconds of meeting her it would a great shoot. Very creative, great attitude, sweet personality, and drop dead gorgeous too - wow - what else could a shooter ask for?
We shot in several locations inside and outside the chalet; I just wish I had more time to shoot with Leidy - she has a lot of cool ideas for future shoots so stay tuned!
This was part of the Great Alaskan Group Photo Shoots, at a very rustic chalet in Anchorage, Alaska on a very cold, snowy day in November 2011.
Okay, I'm going with a travel theme, think towns, countryside, beaches, vehicles (planes, trains and automobiles). You can paper piece, regular piece or applique, and work your way through the rainbow. About the only thing I ask you avoid is very sludgy colours.
Have fun!
