Pet Photography Sessions Available Inspired by Santa Monica Beach Moments
Santa Monica Moments: Capturing the Joy of Dogs at the Beach By Presence News StaffMarch 21, 2026 Request Pricing for a Pet Photography Session On a recent visit to Santa Monica, Presence News captured a series of cinematic moments featuring a dog running freely along the shoreline—splashing through waves, chasing the tide, and embracing the kind of joy that’s hard to put into words.

my hometown childhood bookstore has an "unhinged" display and I've never been proud of anything ❤️🔥
Seasonally, bright green parrots visit Pasadena, CA, in huge flocks, to eat from the ripe fruit and nuts on people's trees. I always think they are amazing and beautiful, though to some people they are a nuisance. I wrote a poem about them entitled, "Bird Circus."
Bird Circus
.
Swoop and swirl
aloft they own the sky
.
mass calligraphy
sharp grass-green disappearing ink
punctuated scarlet
.
great swaths of brilliance
here and gone again
circles
loop-de-loops
.
perfectly choreographed
no visible conductor
.
green red green red
as wings in gleeful company
flash their greeting,
.
“We’re here! We’re back!”
.
rustling
raucous cawing and crowing
in all tones beyond the scale
all sharps no flats
.
an occasional “Hello Pretty Polly”
from a gloating escapee
.
and the crowd of hundreds
the flash mob flashing
green and red and green green green
settle and natter
in the nut trees
as dusk falls
.
dinner time
each with a walnut or pecan
clutched in a clawed fist
.
as the powerful jaw and beak
could slice a finger
but
caps a nut instead
.
delicately picking out the meat
discarding the shell
far below
.
comparing notes
bragging
scolding
expounding
loudly
joyfully
.
we own the air
we own the trees
we eat the nuts
.
try and stop us
.
as night settles there is
a welcome brief silence
and at daybreak
.
they help it break
with loud exclamations
plans for the day
nuts for breakfast
and gossip
forgotten overnight
.
and the last word
which must be had
.
before
Hey, Whoop,
Up and Away
.
swooping
slashing the sky
written music
incomprehensible
to primate hearing
.
and a lucky child below
finds a green feather
and perhaps
.
rarest treasure of all
.
a red one
from under the wing
.
flash on flash off
loud and bright
bird circus
come to town
.
Pioneer Heat Pumps: Electrical Control Troubleshooting in Modern Air Conditioners
I. Deciphering Wiring Diagrams: Mapping the Electrical Maze
Wiring diagrams serve as the cartographic guide to the electrical labyrinth within pioneer air conditioner in South Pasadena, CA. Comprehending these diagrams is paramount to understanding the control system's layout and functionality. Components such as compressors, fans, thermostats, and safety switches are visually represented, illustrating their interconnections and control pathways. Technicians must navigate these diagrams with precision to diagnose potential issues accurately.
II. Unveiling the Sequence of Operations: Unraveling the Symphony
The sequence of operations outlines the step-by-step process that governs an air conditioner's operation. It details how the electrical components interact and respond to various inputs, such as temperature changes or user settings. By grasping this symphony of actions, technicians can identify anomalies in the system's behavior, enabling targeted troubleshooting and rectification.
III. Troubleshooting Techniques: Solving the Electrical Enigma
Electrical control troubleshooting demands both technical expertise and methodical approach. Technicians must employ various techniques to diagnose faults effectively. These include voltage and continuity testing to verify the presence of power and detect open or short circuits. Additionally, temperature and pressure measurements are used to assess the system's performance and detect irregularities. Furthermore, functional testing, in conjunction with the sequence of operations, can reveal the root cause of malfunctions.
IV. Embracing Safety Measures: Shielding from Electrocution Risks
As the complexity of electrical control systems increases, so does the importance of adhering to stringent safety measures. Technicians must take precautions such as de-energizing the system, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and following lock-out/tag-out procedures. Ensuring safety not only protects the technician but also prevents accidental damage to the equipment during troubleshooting activities.
Just Siouxsie being fucking awesome! A friend sent this to me from the Cool World festival in Pasadena Ca. I’m hoping she got some shots of Iggy as well!

Scroll down a bit, last night someone went to the Roscoe's in Pasadena, was turned away for being maskless, and then later robbed the Roscoe's at gunpoint for literally just chicken and waffles.
