I have always wondered what a rhino butt looks like and now, thanks to the LA zoo, I know.

Visiting the stuff inside Rubel Castle today. The tour was great and just a bit overwhelming.

It is so nice today we should all go and hit the beach. Oh well, I guess we have to make do with pictures from Santa Monica.

I love ancient bones, whether they are dinosaurs or Ice Age mammals like we have in our area. Visiting the Los Angeles Natural History Museum was a gas and I love the shots I got.

After the No Kings demonstration I hit a few galleries that were still participating in the Highway 62 Art Tour. This was the last week for the tour I’ll be back next year.

Recently it has been hard to be optimistic with the fascist regime in office but I just got back from the No Kings protest in Joshua Tree and the day was filled so much positive vibes and smartly directed anger that I am hopeful again for the future.

With the days getting shorter and the temps getting cooler it might be time for some flowers from the Bellagio one last time.

It is time to say goodbye to Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, for now. I imagine our paths will cross further down the road.

Yesterday's adventure took me to the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. They have a special gallery of the terracotta soldiers from China. The gallery is ending on the weekend of October 18. It is worth the effort to check it out.

Oof what a 24 Hours I have had. Last night I shot the Barstow College Foundation’s Cigar under the Stars fundraiser. Today I went to ancient China. Some of those pictures tomorrow.

One last look at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. This was a fun place to visit just keep in mind the folks that run it are a bit unreasonable.

The Highway 62 Art Tours will continue this weekend. Here are a few samples of some of the art that inspired me.

Just got back from the Highway 62 Art Tour. Saw some great works, met some great people, and even might have got one for the museum. Wore myself out and hurting though.
