Lunch at Chuy's - Camarillo

tmax — Fri, 09 May 2008 00:50:59 -0700

Chuy's is a fun place. My co-workers and I went for a lunch today. I had a 1/4 pound tri-tip plate

I like their chips and salsa bar. I really like that seasoned salt they have. I don't know why other (Mexican) restaurants don't carry that salt.

There are always some fun "Stories" going on at Chuy's.

Trees at Mission Oaks Plaza - Evidence of old fire

John — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 12:17:47 -0700

I have noticed something interesting at Mission Oaks Plaza. Some of the trees had unusually black barks, as if they were burnt a long time ago.

So I took a closer look.
And I took off a piece of the skin. This is what I saw

I see these black tree barks all over Camarillo. I see them at Arneil Road, close to Albertson as well.

I assume that there was a big fire a long time a go. They burnt the skins but didn't kill the trees. A lot of trees are carrying the scars now. It was a fascinating found for me.

I tried to look up local history for wild fire, but I couldn't find any. If these trees can talk...

** Mission Oaks Plaza: 93,545 square feet of shopping center located at Mission Oaks Blvd and Weedcreek Rd.

Camarillo Public Library - the early mailbox

John — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 19:34:54 -0800

Camarillo Public Library is located at 4101 Las Posas Rd, Camarillo

I photographed these pictures on February 4th.

At that time, Camarillo Public Library was still under construction. These are the temporary mailbox we had until the building was ready.

At the parking lot, there was a camper with somebody living in there. I think one of his duties were checking this mail box. He was peaking out to see if I was doing anything funny. It was a little awkward, but everything was cool.

The other side of the mail box. I couldn't make out what BBCM meant.

Happy Halloween - From Camarillo, CA

Happy Halloween Ventura County. I hope you have a lot of fun.
Pumpkin patch in Camarillo, CA - at 101 Freeway Century off ramp (October 23, 2006). This is an amazing, fun place. I had to stop whatever I was doing and drop by.

Below picture was taken outside of Ralphs, October 8, 2006. I made a 10"x13" print of this shot and hung it over the kitchen wall. I enjoyed it a lot, then it fell off the wall while I was watching a horror movie. I hung a cross in that same spot. If that cross turns upside down by itself...

As usual, Camarillo Plumbing lead an annual event for Old Town Camarillo. This attracts a lot of young people (2-5 years olds who's too young to go out trick-or-treating at night)

Christmas here we come~!!

Camarillo Water Tower

John — Fri, 26 May 2006 00:28:37 -0700

This water tower is visible from most parts of Camarillo.
Look close at the top of the tower, you can see a lot of equipment up there.
At night, it blinks red light to warn airplanes because this tower is located right on the airplane route. The funny thing is that this tower is painted in sky-blue paint. This reminds me of typical cartoon clips. Birds and airplanes can fly into this tower because it's camouflaged.

During the Christmas season, they put on the lights on the top of the tower Click Here for pictures of the tower with Christmas lights.

Dinner at Daphne's

John — Sun, 26 Mar 2006 22:43:57 -0800

I had a dinner at Daphne's Greek Cafe.
Daphne's Greek Cafe is a Greek Restaurant located at Camarillo Village Square, facing Starbucks Coffee.
Food was good, people were nice, and it was comfortable there with nice music.
On top of it, they were reasonably priced.
I think they occationally send out flyers.
