Driftwood at Lincoln Park

When I saw this piece of driftwood while walking along the beach below the house I thought it looked like a heart.  After seeing it on my computer, I have decided it is two figures embracing.

Castle Mountain

Here is a photo from a while back taken in Banff National Park...  Happy Thanksgiving!

San Francisco

I flew through San Francisco the other day and was going to post this photo I took out of the plane window but I didn't get around to it until now.

Sidewalk Art

Jackson is sorry he pushed over the chalk man who was emerging out of the sidewalk.

People were drawing giant eyeballs....

and trying to get into a comfortable position while drawing...

At the Park

Jackson and I checking out the Japanese Teahouse in Hermann Park, Houston.

Clearly I didn't take this photo - Jackson's mother did.

Autumn

The little Japanese maple in the front garden is probably at peak fall colors right now so I snapped a picture.  The Japanese maple is my favorite small tree - the first ones I had in my garden were in England years ago and I had a green one and a red one.  This one has a really pretty shape as well as color.

In unrelated news, I went down to the Occupy Seattle demonstration the other day.  I didn't snap any pictures, although the protesting grandmothers would have been good if I would have had my camera ready.  I did jot down what I thought were the best protest signs:

•  I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one
• 9% unemployed + 90% underpaid = 99%
• Wall Street is shovel ready - bury them with FDR's Glass-Steagall Act
