Christmas Window Display - The Irish Gardener

Monrovia stores have so many great holiday window displays.  This Christmas display can be found at The Irish Gardener in Old Town Monrovia.  Very well done!

The Irish Gardener:  504 S. Myrtle Avenue, Monrovia.

Inside The Big Top

Inside the big tent of Circus Vargas now appearing in the south parking lot of the Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia through December 5th.

This photo was taken during the 15 minute intermission.  They're setting up the net for the trapeze artists about to perform.

It's a good show.  Very family oriented and no animals.  If you have kids, get there early.  The kids are invited into the center ring before the show to take an active role in learning how to be a circus performer.

If it's cold out, dress appropriately.  There's no heat inside and it can get pretty cold.

Parking is $4.00.

Veterans Day 2011

Thanks to all the veterans for their sacrifice, courage and service to our country.  And especially...

...Thanks, Dad.

Ramp Closed...Maybe

Myrtle Avenue onramp - 210 freeway

Nice sign.  Maybe it could be replaced it with a clean and accurate sign.  This photo was taken November 10th.  The ramp also hasn't been closed every night.

A place online where the closure info is dependably correct would be good too.

The Couch

A good place to watch the shadow move.

Pottery Ranch - Front View

Since it is going to be torn down soon, here's another photo of the Route 66 landmark Pottery Ranch.  This time a front view across Huntington Drive with some nice early morning light.

Filming "Crush" In Monrovia Canyon Park

A lot of people saw the filming going on in Old Town last week and the beginning of this week, but they were also up in Monrovia Canyon Park filming for the movie.  This was taken Monday afternoon and the location is the check dam at the start of the waterfall trail.

The movie:  "Crush" by Intrepid Pictures.
