Early Morning

For me always the best time of the day. Quieter, fewer people, less traffic, cooler weather wise, and I enjoy watching the sun rise.  Since my return I've been good about taking the hound to Griffith Park and enjoying pre dawn hikes. Tuesday we did the jaunt up to the Observatory. See the ghosts? 

Watching as darkness becomes daylight relaxes me.

Cruising the Rose Bowl Flea Market before the hordes arrive is also an early morning ritual.

No lines. Pricier to go in early but I still believe worth the $15.  Good deals to be made, aisles to wander without bumping into strollers, shopping carts, etc. You get first peek at everything. 

Even Nazi flags. 

Really???!!! Damn, we can trivialize anything to make a buck!

Still shaking my head over the vendor's choice to display it.

This guys spot on the other side of the bridge, kinda like on the "other side of the tracks" was where I found the coolest hanging lamp. He wanted $60. I paid $40. Very pleased with myself. It's going to the home in NoCal. Heading home Ms. Mona and I stopped and watched these folks knock the crap out of one another.

Great Sunday morning!
