My honey, me, Angela, and Kim took a tram up to see the Getty Center.
Having family over to visit is an opportunity to see my own city through new eyes. It’s the best kind of stay-cation! We took them to visit the Getty Center (which shouldn’t be confused with the Getty Villa)…
The Getty Center offers amazing views.
The first area we visited was their gardens…
Getty Center gardens with the Getty’s amazing travertine architecture.
What could be better than art featuring a cat lover?…
Portrait of Magdaleine Pinceloup de la Grange by Jean-Baptiste Perronneau, 1747.
And what’s more manly than manly royalty showing off his 64-year-old dancer legs in tights?…
Portrait of Louis XIV by Hyacinthe Rigaud, 1701.
Which is happier do you think — horse or rider?…
Angel of the Citadel by Marino Marini, 1950.
Mercury is a god of things good and bad and everything in between, so it stands to reason that his shadow would be as interesting as he is…
Mercury by Johan Gregor van der Schardt, 1575.
All this art was made me hungry…
Still Life: Tea Set by Jean-Étienne Liotard, 1782.
The sun began to cast long shadows across this Getty fountain — we were inspired to make our own art!…
Our great day at the Getty made us want to dance!…so we danced…and danced…and danced!
It was a perfect way to end the day!…
Sunset at the Getty is spectacular!
What inspires you?

Happiness Between Tails blog/podcast speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, reading — and of my still-unreleased novels. “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat,” are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find love and happiness with or without a partner.

Love the pictures of sun-and-fountain. And the 64-year-old dancer legs!
what a lovely day you had and a great museum !! … thank you for taking us with you, I’m very impressed with the tea set, the artist’s idea to show a dirty tea tray … very inspiring !! I feel like doing like him
We love the Getty, especially the gardens with all the wonderful waterways. You made beautiful installation art of your own, Daal – graceful and an elegant component of the wall, the light, and the water.
