Dear Labradorks…

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.
Labra-dorks…
Happiness is being smooched and squashed by Mr. Moo and Miss Pearly-Whirly.
She looks so thoughtful, but she’s not
She’s not receiving divine revelation…she’s trying to catch the scent of the dog next door, so she can go on an insane barking/vine-shredding jag.
Someone’s feeling her oats…
She’s got a stomach full of chicken and kibble and she’s ready to rock.
Alfie’s such a goof.
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.
Sights from a neighborhood walk…
Where are we going today?
Wonderfully colored succulents.
This tells you about when the sidewalks were redone last.
Gorgeous organ pipe cactus.
Security duck keeping an eye on the neighborhood.
When I was out walking…
The answer, of course, is, “It’s your fault if something happens because no one will do anything about the wild predator coming over your wall to eat your pet.”
Beautiful succulents.
White irises.
Little free library with an excellent selection of kids books. I know this because I’ve donated quite a few.
Alfie, waiting for her friend Mr. Toes to come at her by sticking his feet under the fence. Judging from their size, this dog is as big as a Clydesdale.
Lovely geranium mix.
Alfie’s quite the rebel. And yes, I always pick up after her.
