The Egyptian Theater is an old time movie palace and Art Deco masterpiece on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, currently the home of the American Cinematheque.
When I’m there I always notice the spectacular ceiling:
A glimpse of the ceiling.

If you read this blog much, you know I like to see stuff in other stuff.
Here is a rock that sits right in the surf on a Santa Barbara beach. It’s got a big hollow with ever-changing sand deposits. Last time I was at this beach, the rock looked like a fossil shark tooth to me. What do you see?

An easy hike up Malibu Creek in southern California leads to duplicate images in this still and reflective pond.

Our new kittens, between mayhem sessions. For greatest realism, view these photos in a loop. The “active” phase is missing because all those photos are blurry.

Resting up for the next round of destruction and adventure.
Waking up.
It begins again.
Ocean running downhill.
Sea wall.
Ocean running uphill.
Sunset in the underwater world!
