DAILY FRONT PORCH ONTARIO, CA - A VIDEO THAT IS SHORT AND AWESOME & ZEBRAS

I saw this video over at Linda's Peaceful Place and wanted it here - It's only about a minute and a half  long but combined with the music - this is guaranteed to make any soul happy.  I hope u have a minute to watch it - you'll be glad u did.  And it's like you are right there if you watch it FULL screen.  And my photos are much  better if you click to enlarge them.

While walking one day in Ontario, California  (another place where I lived from 1976 to 1984) I came across this house on a walk.  I found it unique and loved the landscaping.   Obviously I wanted every angle - sometimes I walk along and click without even stopping.  I should mention - I never stay still when taking a photo of a house - they are always pretty much action shots - me being the action.  That way sometimes I feel I can go unnoticed because I'm really not obviously focusing on their house...if that makes sense.  

and as always there is usually an animal involved in my photos on any given day - animal or bird.

She was in the next house down the street - what a cutie.

And since these were taken that same day we went to the fair about five years ago - I always wanted them on my blog but I don't think I ever posted them.

We were walking along in the garden and tropical and wild animal section of the LA County fair when I saw this set up.  Wow, did this catch my eye.  The reason I'm posting fair stuff (which I will for a few days in my next posts) is because I'm excited about the Fair starting on September 4.  I go to the fair mainly for the gardens and animals.  I do look through some exhibits but they are usually hot and crowded if they are in buildings.  I like to stay outside.  There was a long period of time we didn't go - mainly when the kids were little - but after they grew up Mike and I would go and enjoy ourselves.  We only missed one year in the last ten years - that being last year.

PHOTOS OF HOUSES FROM COVINA, CA

This is so interesting to look at I wanted it on my blog.  This one is someone's back yard not a front porch photo.  I was looking at "notable" people on Wikipedia who lived in Covina.  Several famous athletes came from Covina and Vince Neil from Motley Crue lived in Covina. I love to google famous people who came from some of the towns I've lived in including my two home towns - Kansas City and Covina, Ca.  

I want to add to my daily front porch post - other photos that I want on my blog - so I'll add a few from other places with each post.

These are from the central coast -

The zebras are from an area right near Hearst Castle in San Simeon - in fact they are part of the wildlife that lives there.  I have more photos but I think I'll just post a few here and there to get them up.

The sunset and pelicans were from our last visit in July.

An old cat seen along the way the day of our walk above.

We had a wonderful meal at a restaurant sitting outside overlooking this scene below.  Spyglass Inn is the name of the restaurant.
