According to the owner of this house these trees are around 18 years old and taller than the house. The trees are generally much fuller and have more flowers. I guess it has to do with our unusually cool Summer so far this year. Photo taken about 3 blocks from my house on August 4, 2010.

Wow! It must be pretty cool there...how cool is it?
At least our high and low temps have been tolerable at a high 83F/ 28C and a low of 64F/ 18C...which is still considerably below normal. Generally, at this time of year it's 90+/ 32+ F as a high and low of around 70F / 22C.(which is usually only for 15 minutes around 4:00 a.m.)
The red thing is a hummingbird feeder. They're very popular here...they attract the very cute hummingbirds. : > )

I think it was about 10 deg C last night.
Sorry, I was looking at the plant/tree hanging down from the top right corner!

You must mean the yellowish fronds from the very common Phoenix roebellenii - Pygmy Date Palm. : > )
...or maybe the cable T.V. wire?

How about what's hanging above the cable T.V. wire!!!!

That's the very exotic (LOL!!!) Washingtonia robusta - Mexican Fan Palm (you're only seeing the dead fronds though). Mexican Fan Palm is the most widely grown palm in California...even more commonly grown than Washingtonia filifera - California Fan Palm.

Ah - with the silvery section at the bottom I wondered if it was something about to burst into bloom!! Oh well....

Meanie:
Those are old flower spikes. I'll post some pics of Washingtonia robusta - Mexican Fan Palms with flower spikes soon...as I have some old photos somewhere. The flower spikes starts forming in February or March.
