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!


This is the Way.

Listen up. See these two lemons? The one on the left is fair game, as it is hanging over a public thoroughfare. The one on the right? This one his not hanging over a public thoroughfare. It is not fair game. It is not to be touched.

This is the Way. This is the Law of the Suburban Walker.

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)

Tropical storm prep…

No sandbags at my place…

…but others were working hard at it.

And the news was covering it.

But in my neck of the woods, this is all it was. Just another pleasantly rainy day. Out in the desert, a different story. But for us, it wasn’t much except that it was 1) hot and 2) August. That made it kind of weird.
