Exploring the Getty

 The Getty Museum is located off of the 405 fwy in Los Angeles and is home to an extensive collection of visual arts pieces we had the pleasure of exploring. When you arrive at the Getty, the parking structure leads you to a tram, which you then take to the center to explore all there is to offer at the Museum. When you arrive inside of the greeting area at the center, you will find maps to help direct your journey.

The Italians and I browsed through a few different areas of the museum and were able to enjoy works from various artists. This fountain below is one that stands in the center of the museum and looks refreshing to take a dip in, although you might get in trouble if you tried swimming in it.The outdoor areas also contain magnificent views of the entire surrounding areas of Los Angeles.

On the next blog I'd like to share a few of the pieces with you that caught my eye.
For now, I hope you're having a wonderful day.

Thank You Thank You Thank You

I'm just sitting here pondering the moment and tasting peace and silence. Its not necessarily because there is no noise in the room. Actually Sunny Rollins is playing on Pandora Radio and a TV is on in the upstairs room. My head feels clear and the path is starting to light up in the most impressionable ways and for that I feel at peace. I am beginning to realize the ways being thankful multiplies and for that I feel grateful... and because gratitude multiplies you will go on the Thanks kick as well... after all, it was just Thanksgiving in Canada. Should we not all celebrate together?

On the other hand, I can't seem to get my pictures to load from the Getty, hence, I don't want to start my Getty series without them so I just decided to tell you all about it. God is good. Art is beautiful.. and I can't wait to get the photos loaded so I can properly introduce you to the Getty Museum.

Love.

Museum in LA

There are many wonderful museums to visit when you are in Los Angeles. One of my favorite museums is The J. Paul Getty Museum http://www.getty.edu/museum/ . I've always liked to visit the Getty. They are constantly having interesting events and the art is amazing! When I was a kid I didn't appreciate the art work as much as I do now, so I enjoyed walking around in the garden. The museum is inspiring for both adults and children, leaving all who visit walking away with good memories, information and new found sense of enlightenment.

Reflections

Round like a circle world of evolution spinning slowly
Variety of energy in various forms
Dispersing and metamorphosing
Electromagnetic energy & love
Heart in a body of development
Clusters taking on shape, mirror reflections
Mere reflections of creation spinning gently

Hope you enjoy. "Ahmad Jamal - A Quiet Time"
