Guessing this is a 2008 Prius.
Sounds pretty extreme!
Heading to the airport
Landed in California, proceeded to buy everyone cheap sunglasses
Voluntary morning constitutional
We watched these hummingbirds while eating breakfast.
The kids made their own unsweetened orange juice and acted like they enjoyed it.
We were in Ojai, California to celebrate this gentleman's birthday.
They really have goats that mow this grass.
A sampling of owl pellets. Some of those bones look hollow.
Just some vultures circling all of our youth.
Should have shot this with some kind of frame of reference. These are big birds.
Chatting with the birthday boy's father in law. He and his wife were most gracious hosts.
Out for lunch in downtown Ojai.
One of many uncared-for cars in the land that rust forgot.
Playing on the swing in a bougie housewares place, as one does
The lizard whisperer. This little wild animal seemed very happy hanging out.
Dressed up for the party
Some people can never seem to give enough speeches.
One last photo for the road, until next time.
Stopped at the beach in Ventura
This is the LA I remember
If you're flying in and out of LA, can't recommend this airport enough
One of the cats we always look for on the way to school
Spring poking its way up in our front yard
Posted in the industrial district, near Starbucks HQ. We prefer unionized Starbucks, if at all.

Oscar likes to meet us on the front porch. If its a nice day you can sit and give him many pets.
Pulled a few of the door mechanisms for fresh keying. They're 100 years old and extremely simple, but functional.
Testing whether someone could see a 5 year old over the hood of a modern Dodge. Modern pickups offer less visibility and also less bed room than their older counterparts.
Positioned the cat lamp appropriately with a mail catcher/blocker
Kids' class posing with the art they contributed to for the school art auction
You might not know it but this is worth hundreds of dollars.
You know a place is going to be good when they have a huge photo of our Guy on the wall making this face
Stopped by a house we had looked at to see if anything changed. Looks the same. Someone might be sitting on it.

You can just buy whatever animal you want and it's yours
This one is Maxine.

Transit Appreciation day and we both qualified to attend
One day the weather was so nice that I was walking home from the train and saw and petted two cats in the same day.
Jeffrey's little league season kicked off. He ended up on base a good bit.

An interesting goth-hello kitty-themed house a few blocks down
Bearded dragons are supposed to have baths every week or two, apparently
Stopped in a gallery to see art on a Friday
The kids made a powerpoint presentation about whatever they want and this is it.
Dropped Astrid off for a birthday party in SLU and stopped at a cafe
He was pointing at a cat in a window
We dug a nice big hole for a tree we had on hand
Homemade crossbow practice
SODO views of downtown. Hard to imagine this place won't be more populated for long.
People on the nextdoor app always complain about this underpass but I've spoken with a few people who live here and they're really nice.
School play time.
