Aloha all...
I'm in Ojai, California going through my past as I photograph and toss most of what I had stored here. It is colder here during the "warmest" part of the day than the coldest temperatures on Kaua'i. Brrrrrrrrr! I'm spoiled. Anyway, I haven't been out of the house except once to go to the post office. So far, I've taken about 2000 photos, but none for this Artmail except for that 7th-grader's photo above.
Today is starting out sunny, but cold. Here is the view shot through the main livingroom window:

...
Scott MacD met me at the airport on the 28th. The next day, he went for his run along the beach in Ventura. I took these photos from where I waited:
...
..............
...
There's a lot of driftwood on the beach from all the recent rains.
...

...
Later that day, my sister picked me up and I shot this photo as we drove passed my old office from the 1980s in downtown Ventura:
...
The three windows on the left were mine.
...
Driving through Casitas Springs, I shot this photo of the house from which Johnny Cash and June Carter serenaded the village during Christmas season when they lived there:

"Times Remembered."

The Arnaz Grade where the landslide from last year's heavy rains closed the highway.

Downtown Oak View.

Mira Monte.

Topa Topa Mountain Range.

Approaching Ojai.

A "new" wall and Ojai sign.

The Arcade of downtown Ojai.
...
Onward to The East End.
...
...
Arrived.
...
The next day, we drove over the recently reopened pass to Santa Paula. Here is a shot of the Ojai Valley:
...
The Ojai.

In the 1937 movie Lost Horizon, when Shangri-La was first viewed, the scene was of the east end of the Ojai Valley...where I now am typing this...
...
.Shangri-La..
...
Riding shotgun, I snapped some shots in the Upper Ojai Valley...
...
...
......
...
The erosion and slides from the heavy rains of last year closed off the four main roads to the Ojai Valley. Highway 150 has one-lane sections regulated with automatic 2-minute stop lights...

Topa Topa.

Back in Shangri-La...

I took that one trip to the post office. This view is across the street from the Ojai Post Office...
...
...
We took the long way back...

That's all for now.
