heavenly bungalow

our friends matt and shawna are moving away from pasadena and so they passed on this box of cards containing 50 city walks around los angeles. we decided to start close to home and discovered that there was a walk in bungalow heaven. i snapped this photo on that walk.

this house is considered to be an excellent example of the craftsman style, and is perfectly californian with the tall palms and blue sky.

mcdonald park

somewhat tucked away from view is mcdonald park - a lovely wide open lawn space with a playground to boot.

bungalow heaven

while gazing at the sky, keep your eyes peeled around pasadena for signs indicating you are no longer on earth but rather in heaven... bungalow heaven that is!
