One of my favorite things to do anywhere I go is to find pretty things to take pictures of. For me, a perfect day would be exploring aimlessly with my camera and just seeing where the day takes me. The urban sprawl of Los Angeles is beyond perfect for this because there are so many different neighborhoods and cities so close, all with their own vibe.

On this particular trip we spent some time wandering around the Los Angeles Arts District (a new-to-me area to explore) to see what street art we could find. There were so many colorful walls and photo opportunities. We didn’t stay too long because we needed to go grab lunch, but I definitely see myself spending more time in this area on our next trip – especially since Girl and the Goat is in this neighborhood and I’d love to dine there.

I rounded up some fun photos I took this past weekend all over the city. I included their locations, too, in case you want to visit any of these fun spots. I just love long weekends here.
