More Jaws and other movies…

Filed under: — stan @ 4:14 pm

This week is the last week of the “Jaws” 50th anniversary exhibit at the Academy Museum, so we went out there so Kathleen could see it.

While we were there, we also saw the “Barbie” exhibit and an exhibit about “The Wizard of Oz”, where we got to see one set of the original ruby slippers.

We parked across the street at the Petersen Museum, so on the way back, we went through their lobby and saw one of the original cars from “Bullitt”.

There’s a vape shop near the Village at Lake Arrowhead. But their choice of a typeface for their sign is perhaps a bit unfortunate. Whenever I see their sign, my brain wants to read it as “Vomit Vape”.

More actual nature

This morning, I was out in the back yard, and I was hearing a lot of hawks calling to each other. I’d seen them around before, but this time, I saw one of them perching up on top of one of the trees in front of our house. So I went and got the Serious Camera with the long lens, and got a few pictures.
