This is a cheerful inflatable Christmas penguin standing prominently in the front yard of a classic Spanish Colonial Revival home with cream stucco walls and terracotta tile roofing. The penguin wears a Santa hat and red scarf, holding a candy cane, creating an amusing juxtaposition – a cold-weather creature in Southern California’s lush, tropical-influenced landscape.

Sandy and I went to the annual lighting of the Christmas tree in the Claremont Village. I couldn’t resist taking her picture in front of big Santa.

The tree outside Pizza & Such appeared to be on fire.
The Bike Shop always paints its windows for the Christmas season.

I saw a few interesting things on my walk today.
This skateboarder was tearing through an intersection with mountains in the background.
Two young people staring into the window at Studio Claremont.
This drippy chalk art caught my attention, covering the steps leading up to one of our town’s many art galleries.
Sandy was busy getting the living room ready for Christmas.

I’ve seen this guy around town a lot. This particular video is from last Friday when I made a trip to the Village to take in the preparations for that night’s annual lighting of the Christmas tree. It’s odd that one of the women approaching from the right puts money in his collection urn but doesn’t linger to soak in the tunes.
