Last weekend we went to what we thought was a art show in Burbank. Hmmmm, no show, but the Burbank Historical Museum was open. WOW. So many artifacts from the late 1800's to present time, including one of three original tract houses ever built in Burbank. Here are just a few of the pictures I took, some of which will no doubt bring back memories to some of you.
Rich...
Thanks for posting, it does bring back memories. I'll have to drop by and check it out in person. Here's another interesting local museum in Sylmar, CA.

Good captures by you and the eagle!
I like the partial fog, especially in the middle one.
Great photos! The downloads worked okay for me.
Welcome Linda. You can learn a lot using Google, Youtube and the Search feature at the top of the page on this website. Enjoy yourself, and learn at your own pace.
I'd like to like the first one if I could see the download...
I'll add another vote for Samy's Camera. The Fairfax store is indeed a Wonderland, full of everything photographic and knowledgeable people. The Pasadena store isn’t as big, but it’s also full of good people and equipment.
Someone else mentioned Woodland Hills Camera. They aren’t as big as Samy’s, but they were the only retailer brick & mortar or online who had a Nikon D500 in stock when I bought it in June. Their full name is Woodland Hills Camera & Telescopes. While I still don’t have a telescope, I did buy Celestron SkyMaster Pro binoculars from them last year.
what ever it is, it appears to be oozing out of the primordial soup
I'll add another vote for the D500 with 300mm f/4E PF & TC-14E III.

Good spots for shooting pix?
The Black River Safari Cruise is great, crocodiles (not alligators as some sites say), tropical birds and mangrove trees.
YS Falls is scenic, try zip lining through the trees, there's a 7 tiered waterfall, and plenty of picturesque sights on the drive there.
Try Bamboo River Rafting, just sit back and enjoy with plenty of photo ops.
Rick's Cafe as others have mentioned!
We stayed at Sunset at The Palms Resort in Negri, and it was full of flora and fauna as well as beach shots.
Have a great time!

There is also a location marked on a map. Click on "show in maps" for a larger version. Then there is a direction link to take you to the location. Also you can get a satellite view to show the terrain and the location from which you took the photograph. Amazing to an old bird.
I have attached a photograph. I download it, got info and it still has the GPS data shown.

When I pasted the web address for your photo,
http://static.uglyhedgehog.com/upload/2016/9/4/837474-dscn3270.jpg into the Image URL field on Jeffrey's Image Metadata Viewer:
http://regex.info/exif.cgiIt showed:
Location: (70 null bytes)
Latitude/longitude: 34° 25' 17.4" North, 93° 2' 53.1" West

And if you click on one of the hyperlinks following "Map via embedded coordinates at" it will open the map showing where the photo was taken. Google seems to do the best job.

Not enough water but someday it will rain !
Nice shots. Being in Southern California I can feel your pain about the lack of water. I see you used the Tokina AT-X 12-28 PRO DX on your D500 for these. I've had my D500 for a little over 2 months and have only used longer lenses so far. Although they must be around, I don't remember seeing any wide angle shots from the D500. Now I'm looking forward to trying my Tokina AT-X PRO SD 11-20mm on it.
