Day 375 - North Hollywood Toyota - 05.30.12

This morning I went with my wife to drop off her car at the North Hollywood Toyota dealer.  If you travel on the 134, you'd know this dealership because they have mannequins all around the parking garage.  It is kind of creepy.  It was something I saw today.

Day 372 - Russian Dolls - 05.27.12

One thing my wife and I like to do in our house is change up some of the decorations every once in while.  We have lots or toys are pictures or other interesting things to put out, but we don't like having a lot out at once.  My wife just put these Russian dolls out a couple days ago on the ledge by our front door.  It was something I saw today.

Day 371 - The Last Sambo's - 05.26.12

What a great day.  Drove up to Santa Barbara for the I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival.  We started off the morning by going to the last Sambo's still in operation. I had not been to a Sambo's since I was a kid.  Food was good, but the decor was even better.  Lover the paintings on the wall with scenes from the book. Before we left I snapped this photo of the exterior while standing in the middle of PCH.  It was something I saw today.

Day 370 - Mystery Machine - 05.25.12

I passed by this van a few months back, but didn't pull over for a picture.  I thought I'd take a picture on my way home, but then the van was gone and I regretted not taking a photo.  So today when I saw the van again on my way home I instantly pulled over for a pic.  It was something I saw today.

Day 369 - Duck on a Roof - 05.24.12

At work there is a mother duck who lives on our roof with her ducklings.  I saw them this morning and decided to go out and take their picture.  I never really could get a good photo of the mama duck and the ducklings all together.  At this moment the ducklings are behind her hidden by the hedge.  I like to contrast of the urban buildings and man made roof tops against this little bit of nature.  It was something I saw today.

Day 368 - 2 Chairs - 05.23.12

I don't know what happened to the table that these chairs are usually around but it was gone this morning.  To me it made it look like these two chairs were having their own conversation.  It was something I saw today.

Day 367 - Bugs at Sunset - 05.22.12

This evening as I was getting into my car I looked out over ABC and noticed a swarm of bugs hovering over some trees.  It looked almost like smoke coming off the trees.  I did my best to capture it here, but I have to admit it wasn't super successful.  Still the silhouettes and sunset is nice.

Day 366 - Hanging Skateboard - 05.21.12

I had actually planned on taking a break from the daily photos once I had reached one year of photos.  However I found this evening that not taking a photo of something kind of interesting was a habit hard to break.  I got home and pulled my car into the garage and when I got out I noticed how the evening sunlight was cutting across my skateboard and I thought that looks interesting.  So I took a photo.  It was something I saw today.

Day 361 - Jimmy Angel's 77th Birthday - 05.16.12

Today was Jimmy Angel's 77th birthday and he celebrated it at Viva Cantina in Burbank.  I've caught Jimmy's show several times now.  He is simply amazing.  You see and hear him perform and it is hard to believe he is 77 years old.  If you ever have a free Wednesday night I highly recommend catching Jimmy at Viva Cantina.  He goes on at 8PM.  Then stick around for Troy Walker.  Tonight I just went for Jimmy and left before Troy.  He was something I saw today.

There is a boy pulling the wagon and a girl pushing.  One dog is walking along side the wagon and the one pictured here is in the wagon riding like a royalty.  It was something I saw today.

Day 346 - K9 - 05.01.12

I got this K9 toy back in high school.  I think I like him more than my Sylvester McCoy 7th Doctor figure.  He sits on one of my shelves in the record room and I see him just about every day.  I decided that today he deserved the photo treatment.  It was something I saw today.
