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.

Another month, another racetrack…

How could I have missed the Wiener Nationals! It’s the greatest show on earth!

Past the stands for the first time.

And #2 takes them wire-to-wire!

I love this corny mural at the entrance to the indoor paddock.

Longest home stretch in the United States.

Another goofy mural by someone who may have glimpsed a horse at one time and is painting from memory.

This guy looks…concerned.

I went with Touchdown Kittle. But seeming no-hoper McGregor Lake got the job done and paid more than $60.

Touchdown Kittle ladies and gents.

Every one of these people thinks they know who is going to win. Very few were correct.

Here’s Touchdown Kittle in the lead, just before being passed by a half dozen other horses.

Still, it was a great day. Here is a video I made, complete dramatic music to compensate for the unspectacular photos and camera work!
