WHAT HAPPENED TO THANKSIVING?

 I love Halloween. It's a fun holiday. My favorite holiday though is Thanksgiving. No hype, close family at most tables, non-denominational, and no presents. I think I have answeredmy question about why many stores don't carry inflatable turkeys or Pilgrims. Thanksgiving is not a major money-making holiday like Christmas and Halloween...sad, but true.

THREE CRABS

 What remains of three crabs....I had Buddhist thoughts of impermanence when I saw them.

WASN'T EVER THAT SUPPLE....

 I wasn't ever that supple and need I say that I still am not?  Granddaughter doing a handstand on the beach at Seabrook, Washington.

"WALKIN' MY DUCK NAMED DOG"

 I thought of THIS SIXTIES' SONG  when I saw this pair stroll by in Seabrook, Washington, just before Halloween.

THEME DAY: MY FAVORITE PLACE IN TOWN

 

I am not in Belgrade for a while, so cannot photograph my favorite place there. In Seattle, I rummage through thrift shops. This is of course not a thrift shop, but a neighborhood Little Lending Library operating on a 'take one-leave' principle. And occasionally I do.

LOOK 'HOO'S' HERE

 And just in time for Halloween! A North American Spotted Owl flew ino my daughter's backyard last night.

Apples

 

At first glace I thought these were quinces, but they're apples.

BIGFOOT IS AROUND

 Bigfoot or Sasquatch, according to legend,  is indeed big....but not this big.

SUNSET OVER THE PACIFIC

"YA TALKIN' TA ME?"

 

When I first saw this huge cat (bigger than my dog), I immediately thought of Robert De Niro's classic line from Taxi Driver. 

Haunted...

My granddaughter poses iver this haunted house we put together from a kit. In Belgrade for Christmas, I make a gingerbread one from scratch. This one is a chocolate cookie one and I am sure it will taste good.
