At our favorite park…

Alfie doing what Alfie does…checking out the playground equipment.

There’s a nice lake, stocked with fish, and across it, a really nice museum of Orange County paleontology.

It was a beautiful early fall day. We were avoiding the air show, because it terrified Alfie. Can’t say that I blame her. The noise was outrageous.

Enjoying not being anywhere near the air show.

Alfie and me.

A teensy bit of fallishness. (#14)

Adorable Alfie

“Where’s my adoring fan club from New Zealand?”

“When’s that pitbull next door coming outside? I want to taunt it into a frenzy!”

“Oh, I know you like to sit here. But you see, I don’t care.”

“I hate the stupid Pacific Air Show more than anything. Even going to the vet.”

Scenes from a walk…

Alfie says, let’s get this show on the road!

Golden hour shadows.

The full range of the human experience…

…in chalk, on the sidewalk.

I had to look this up this tree…it’s called a golden medallion tree. Beautiful!

Pink plumeria.

I’m always up for some weird cloud action.

Sights from a walk…

On our way…

There’s several enormous plumerias on our route. I can never get them past the “dead looking stick” stage.

Somebody loves somebody.

Everything’s peachy so far.

Leaf print.

Weird, beautiful unsettled sky. This is usually a spring or fall thing.

A rare right-angle palm.

Looks complicated.

I’ve always liked this tile that someone stuck on their fence.

A particularly beautiful hibiscus.

Life…uh…finds a way.

Alfie always tries to rile up the neighborhood dogs.
