I forgot just one thing this morning

 

I woke up a bit later than usual and rushed out the door with thermos of hot tea, my hat, coat, phone and keys. When I found a nice location with views to the East, I realized the Camera was still home on the table! Oops. The iPhone11 had to do the work today.








I believe the big houses in this neighborhood considered it an obligation to plant citrus trees in the front, flanking the entrance.





Nearly a century ago!



Yes, the one on the right is leaning a bit. It's quite a chore to get to the front door (maybe they go in through the garage). Our front door is 80 feet from the street so who am I to quibble?



I've liked this house -- it's at the end of the street and has a great view out over the city (but it blocks my view from the sidewalk).



By gently creeping down to the edge of a driveway I was able to get a nice perspective just as the sun came up.



The last of my Seiko Gold Tone Watches. 



I bought it in 2005! First photo from Jan 2006



The sun is over the hills now, glowing like a gold watch!



I walked down the block a few hundred yards, and from that angle and movement of clouds it's a whole different picture.



Looking out towards the ocean I have yet a different feeling in the sky.



These are the houses around me, and the Western sky out over the ocean.



Looking down through the canyon I can see the distinctive yellow & red roof of a Der Wienerschnitzel hot dog drive-thru, though I think it may be called something else now.



A clean modern house. I like it.





Oranges and lemons and tangerines right up on the sidewalk!



I am carrying the back-up Gold Tone Pocket Memovox, and my "real" gold wedding ring (real diamonds not shown).





A flowering succulent spike bends over the sidewalk as I'm heading back to the car. I duck under it and watch the bees at work.



It's barely dawn and they are extracting all they can.



Busy as Bees.



A beautiful home here, with some California / Spanish / Mexican flavor



Skies keep changing.



An entirely different look; house is okay but I wish they would do something with their front yard.



That's all for today, thanks for coming along.
