If you are stuck at school or work during the week and can't find the time to enjoy your time in Los Angeles, look for some places to visit during your weekends where you can share your memories with the world!

Whether you've been raised in LA or are visiting LA for the summer, this is the best time to get those pictures flowing onto your feed!

1. Griffith Observatory

See on Instagram

At the Griffith observatory, you can take pictures outside with the view of LA behind you, or inside with models of the planets all around you! Visit the observatory to find some of the best views in LA.

Plus, the observatory has several shows you can buy tickets for to learn about the stars.

2. Venice Canals

See on Instagram

This is a wonderful place to visit. You can either walk across the bridges or enjoy the residential views from the water.

Either way, at sunset, this is a beautiful place to be.

3. Santa Monica Pier

The Santa Monica pier is filled with food and fun! There are caricature artists, street performers, and delicious bacon-wrapped hotdogs…and that's not even touching on the rides or restaurants. Join fellow Angelinos in enjoying the atmosphere of the pier. And once you've walked the pier, go down to the beach or head towards the city to visit the third street promenade!

4. The Last Bookstore

See on Instagram

The Last Bookstore is well known for its flying books and book arch. Visit the bookstore for older and newer books, and then take a walk around DTLA.

5. OUE SkySpace

If you visit OUE Skyspace, you can slide down the side of the building and capture your expressions on both the entrance and exit sides to get the best photos!!

6. LA's Secret Stairs

Back in the day, there were tons of staircases connecting different places in LA where people could get to work and/or school. Some of these staircases still exist and are open for the public.

Visit the one off of Highland behind the Hollywood Bowl or the Beachwood Canyon stairs for great views of LA!

7. Getty Center or Getty Villa

These museums have amazing photo-ops all over. Show off your photography skills and change the typical angles.

8. The Broad Museum

It's safe to say every museum has its own personality and tons of photo ops! Visit the Broad for the mirror room and take a photo with the best view—you!

9. Walt Disney Concert Hall

This place is wondrous. You can take a self-led or a guided tour through the concert hall. It's architecture and design is just amazing. You can take photos inside or outside, but some of the best photos are along the patios of the hall.

Nearby you can find Grand Park, where you can take more photos, and Grand Central market, a great food hub from different places!

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The leaves change, pumpkin spice everything hits the shelves (thank you, world!), the 13 Nights of Halloween on Freeform (formerly abcfamily) and the temperature drops. Well, the temperature is supposed to drop. Being in south Alabama, however, means that the temperature may be relatively low early in the mornings, but you're still going to suffer in the afternoon. So if the weather outside isn't getting you in the Autumn mood, maybe these Spotify playlists will help you slip into that wonderful, Autumn state of mind.

I have never understood why grown-ups complain when the leaves are all off the trees, and the temperatures take a decided turn towards the zero on the thermometer. I hear complaints about the impending winter weather, and the driving in the snow and ice. We live in Pennsylvania, so I bite my tongue instead of stating the obvious: Maybe you should move to a warmer climate?

Halloween is a fun holiday for everyone of all ages. There are so many fun things to do in the month of October before Halloween and the day of Halloween. I love Halloween especially with all the candy and different types of goodies. Halloween is for everyone that enjoys to be a part of this wonderful holiday and also be careful on Halloween as well. It gives everyone a chance to show what they love to do as well.
