I am Libra heart: The scales

(Riding cruisers on Venice beach with AGYG, her hubby, and their friend Shannon. There's a rollercoaster in the background!)



(Sydwynder looking SOO LA. This was at the Getty Museum. That's the city of LA below him. Amazing!)



(House on Venice beach. Neato! It was a gothic dream come true!)
