Stuff seen while walking…

“Let’s get this show on the road!

Mighty tempting. But, per the rules outlined last month, off limits.

Holiday welcoming committee.

Classic blow-mold alert!

Apparently I have chosen the form of the Destroyer…and it’s this guy.

This guy had a faux fur beard and some kind of velvet-ish covering for the suit. Wonder how that fared with all of the moisture and rain?

This fella looks excited for the big day!


Scenes from a walk…

Off we go!

Breaking into its winter nut stash a tad early.

I liked this tree. It seemed frondly.

For Memorial Day.

Another golden sunset.

Props to these folks for bothering to put up a giant inflatable turkey, instead of skipping straight from Halloween to Christmas. (#22)

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.
