A little town in Southern California

The train is coming !

The train station of a little town in Orange County 

While I was sitting on the outside bench at the rail station preparing my lens to catch a view of the oncoming train, I was caught by another photographer 

蟷螂捕蟬 黃雀在後

                  

On a meandering partially paved road near the town’s train station, store stalls with outdoor sun umbrellas 

displaying assortments of merchandise and gift items

街邊小舖以亮麗招牌及擺設 各出奇招吸引遊客目光

A palm reading shop with signs of all sizes and shapes 

一家算命舖子門前掛滿各式招牌

A fashionable lady in a bright yellow dress with floral design walked by

All I could catch with my lens is her back walking away  

Yet I was able to catch a glimpse of the shape of her swaying skirt  

along with a roadside flower of the same color 

This jolly store lady was chatting with my husband who was always ahead of me by miles when shopping.  Before I reached her stall, she’s all smile and welcoming me like an old customer 

I walked away with a long chiffon scarf with small roses all over 

Look what I got!

Restaurants abundant in the little town of Mission San Juan Capistrano

小鎮以其知名景點 Mission San Juan Capistrano 吸引不少遊客

餐飲店林立，週日正午幾條大街小巷餐廳都排滿了人

原本計劃的墨西哥餐廳等候時間需 1 1/2 小時

只好繼續往前行

Wall decoration of “Bloom” the restaurant we dined in

resembles a piece of artwork of paper cut

走到一家名為 Bloom 的餐室用餐

果真見到一朶碩大的花朶牆飾

看似筆雕作品 上網 Google 之下方知是購置之裝飾物件

Isn’t this huge wall flower decoration lovely?

漂亮吧 ？
