Out to the ball game
Dodger Stadium.
The sweep of the upper deck.
Clouds and hills behind the right field pavilion.
Ol' Glory from the parking lot directly behind the bleachers.

Play ball
The Aflac All-American game is an annual exhibition of the nation's best high school baseball players. This year's game was held August 9 at Dodger Stadium. While attending the game, amongst the many photos taken, I practiced capturing these shots of the ball in motion (without any of those super-duper zoom lenses like the professional photogs had).

Swing on this
In mid-July the Australian performance troupe Strange Fruit put on a series of free shows in downtown Los Angeles. Their art involves swaying on fiberglass poles in a choreographed routine that is acrobatics and theater. The quartet tells a humorous love story set to music in a 20-minute show.
Neither my description nor the shots do it justice, but I attempted to capture some moments from their midday performance outside the Bank of America building on July 17.
Be sure to see this other post for shots of another one of their performances.

Washed ashore
Intertwined strands of kelp that washed on shore at the beach near Oso Flaco Lake, between Guadalupe and Oceano.
And a tight shot of one of the bulbs.

Oso reflected
Reflected in Oso Flaco Lake: reeds, posts, and cross-braces for the bridge.

Oso Flocked
Along the beginning of the trail in the Oso Flaco Lake Nature Area these sorta furry-looking (moss-covered) trees form a canopy.
