While visiting my friend last month I ran across a group of chickens while out for a walk. They wouldn’t face me for a photo. Because chicken.

Pretty bird
I visited a friend of mine last month and I also got to visit with her birds. This is Berkeley hanging out with me on the lanai. Berkeley likes me.
A Unique Celebration
One final Halloween moment… At my parents’ house there are a lot of trick-or-treaters (more than 220 as I recall this year). I get zero, so I go over there to help them hand out candy. This year my sister and niece (who also get zero kids visiting) headed over as well though it’s a lot more distance for them. I enjoyed this because they took over the candy duties entirely, and also put on a show (niece had a straightjacket and masked face and sat in a chair randomly screaming while my sister posed as her doctor… it was very entertaining).
That’s not what this post is about. This year there was a group of boys who were dressed in full body suits running around the neighborhood and randomly stopping and freezing into poses. Early in the evening they literally ran (one of them straight into a tree! ouch!), later they clearly got tired and walked – and the early poses were more elaborate. However, this was the only time I got a decent picture of them – when they plopped right in front of my parents’ house. They sat without moving or speaking for several minutes, then silently got up and moved along again.
I see you!
For Halloween my mom tried out a new decoration during trick-or-treat time. It was toilet paper rolls with eyes cut out (and the occasional mouth) with a glow stick inside. These were tucked into the bushes and we so much fun!

I got to visit a friend of mine in Orlando the week before Halloween. On a walk around her neighborhood I spotted this. Quite the display! Wish I’d seen it at night to see if it was lit appropriately….
Regardless. Cool neighbors.

Actually of course for the next few posts it will be things I saw in October before Halloween. I’ve been remiss in posting. Work has been busy, getting photos to airdrop from phone to iPad was not working, and basically I let minor hurdles stop me. But I’ve got a TON of stuff now to go through and a little time.
I saw my beary good friend in the Salt Lake City airport again. Last time he was heading on a scuba vacation, but this time he was ready for Halloween!

On my walk to my office this morning I spotted this spunky flower growing up through the sidewalk crack. It looks to me like a dandelion but albino – or even more different, because it almost looks clear. I thought it was fascinating.
Pink and puffy
I was recently on a quick visit to friends in San Diego – it was a great trip! In their backyard they have mimosa trees and while I wandered around I stopped and took this picture. Enjoy!
Sugar Thieves
My husband was in Australia for business recently. He sent me a photo-text from breakfast and asked if this parrot was cuter than our cat (her name is Stray Cat):
Before I had a chance to respond, he sent this photo and told me that they swoop in when your coffee is served and steal the sugar packages:
The following text conversation ensued:
Husband: Stray Cat is cuter.
Me: But they are more colorful and you don’t use sugar in your coffee anyway.
Husband: You’re right. Stray Cat is out. I want a parrot.
Me: I’ll let her know.

Gorgeous sunrise on my morning walk at work this week. So lovely.
