Things You'd Never See in Orange County

There are some every day occurrences here in the great city of Yuba City (yes all major signs and banners have the word "city" twice) which remind me how far away we are living from Orange County. While this list in full would be exhausting, I will start you off with 3.

1. Monster hay trucks

I was driving to the grocery when this beast pulled up beside me, nearly blotting out the sun. (For my mother, I was stopped safely at the light and not in any way driving when this picture was taken with my phone)

2. Road chickens at Wendy's

(I think enough has been said about road chickens)

3. The great horned owl
Last weekend it was actually sunny (yes!!!!) so we went to a wildlife refuge to see what types of birds we could get photos of (Andrew's new hobby). Unfortunately at this point it was starting to get dark so he is a little hard to see, and we were also sneaking up on him in the Trailblazer which is not the most discreet blind for taking photos of birds. I have never seen one of these in real life before and they are so big and awesome. It might be my new favorite animal.
