Venice Beach

Venice Beach skateboarderOne of the places that friends and family visiting SoCal for the first time always want to go is Venice Beach. I usually groan a little under my breath about another visit to cheap T-shirt land, but once I get there with camera in tow, I'm really glad for the visit because of all the fun people to photograph.

A Very Industrious Rat Caught on Wildlife Camera in my Backyard

Something a little different today — and the answer to a mystery that had been quietly bothering me for ages. For months, possibly years, I'd been waking up to find my back deck covered in sticks, twigs, and leaves. Every morning the same scene: a small but unmistakable scattering of garden debris, exactly where I hadn't left any. The trees overhead would explain a few leaves, but not the sticks, and not in those amounts. Something was bringing the material to the deck — quite deliberately, by the look of it.
