The Big Blow that sucked

Didn’t even lose power once. Certainly didn’t live up to expectations.

Some trees shed a few leaves –

Some didn’t get the memo and are budding out or flowering or bearing fruit –

Some just exploded in color –

In the end, the sun came out the next day and all was well –

Big Blow 2016, thanks for not making too much of a mess of things.

Last hurrah

If the weather prognosticators are to be believed, we’re in for a beating over the next couple days. You’d never know it judging by this afternoon –


Everyone was out enjoying the sunshine like it was the middle of summer. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

He probably has any needed parts in a drawer, somewhere in his garage.

Hiya Pop!

Learning all the time

So, those stale taco shells you were going to throw away? Ducks love those damn things!

Who knew? Well, not me anyway. So that’s what I learned on my sojourn to the park.

Thanks duck, you’re funny. Hope all that salt doesn’t harden your arteries or anything.

Bit of a southerly wind today

Down at the beach after work –  

 

 

20 minutes later, it started raining. Fall is here for sure now.

Mystery solved

Turns out it’s Sylvester from next door –

Just hanging out. Taking a break from that stupid dog he has to live with I bet….

Stop by anytime Sylvester.

Visitor

Dunno who his humans are, but he’s been hanging out here since I got home –

 

not-mine

 

Nice gato, been in a few scraps, seems harmless – purrs, meows and all the regular cat stuff.

Gave him some food and drink, now he’ll never leave. Gonna need a name….

Like water off a duck’s back

In fact, just like that –

Sorry bout the half sun, half shade thing. Best I could do at the time. C’est la vie.

Oldie, but a goodie

Mr Heron is always good for a photo or two.

Sometimes he looks all majestic and whatnot –

Sometimes he looks like a total goofball –

What’s with those getaway sticks of yours?

Nice day for a fly-by, thanks Mr Heron.
