TimeOut

It was very quiet, the only things shouting were NO PARKING and TOW AWAY signs.

Watch & Clock Repair shop was closed, and rightfully so. at 06:38:53 on a Tuesday.



Graveyard was open, but the tombs were all closed



 (from what we could tell).







We walked through noting the Mexican restaurants. I ignored the 3 Italian, 2 Indian, 1 Himalayan, and the sushi place. I think this neighborhood should feel like old Calif. (amazing that there’s no Starbucks yet).







Lots of things look better, including this nice painting

in the early morning light

 (as long as you aren’t suffering from a hangover, or been sitting there all night!)   In case you missed it earlier, under the twirling skirt was a eulogy to Twinkle. We gave a thought to our Tiger...



Sunlight



and shadow.



Daylight and Gaslight (before it became a political theme it was a noun describing how to see in the darkness, it was a way to navigate around town after dark)



Here’s a real gas light. I know, I was amazed too. 

Even the “Gaslight District” in San Diego doesn’t have real gas lights. Darn sight cheaper than electricity around here, I can tell you...

 
The sad state of a hi-perf Camaro



across from the Little Houses of Happiness



and just before the sad state of a golf course.

The windmill is real but there was no wind so I don’t know if it works.



More light still slanting in from the East, lighting up the bell rope.



In the shadows below one brave squirrel was looking for breakfast 

So was this gent, but we had no spare change.

But my wife DID have a sense of humor, and took my camera for a photo.



She made up for it by spotting a half-dozen hummingbirds.



I only caught one of them on camera.



Thanks for walking with us this morning.

PS - does anyone know if this is a cork tree?
