Be Careful Where You Park

It doesn't show up as well as I'd hoped, but the roof and trunk of the car on the right are covered with palm fronds that have fallen from the palm trees above.

A Little Rain, A Little Sun

Looking north on Myrtle Ave between storms.

Between Storm Rainbow

One storm heads out of town, the next expected later tonight.  In between, the sun comes out long enough to create this rainbow above the city.

Monrovia Public Library - Night Lights

Another Storm Approaches

Pull To The Right

It doesn't look it, but the lights were flashing and the siren was on.
Does everyone know what to do when you hear a siren?  I see people ignoring these rules all the time.

Turns out the flu bug was meaner and bit harder than I had anticipated.  Kept me down for a week.  Thank goodness I had some extra photo's to use in case of emergency.  Other than some lingering laryngitis and a tiresome tickle in my throat, I feel better today.  Good thing I was never much of a talker anyway.

Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter

Big Sky Over Baseball Diamond

With baseball's spring training about to get underway, I thought I'd post something with a baseball theme today.

This photo is from the archives and was taken back in January of 2008. A nasty flu bug got hold of me on Tuesday and it has kept me inside instead of out roaming the streets taking photo's. I hope to be back at it by tomorrow.

Boxx Jewelers 1921 - 2009

Lots of businesses have come and gone, especially in our current economy, but this is a big deal.  Boxx Jewelers is a business that's just always been there.  My whole lifetime and much, much longer.  One of the few remaining pieces of downtown Monrovia that was part of my childhood is going out of business.

The clock, I think it's safe to speculate, will stay.  It was gifted to the Monrovia Historic Preservation Group who are responsible for maintaining the clock.  The clock has also been designated a Historic Landmark.
