Something to Tide You Over...

It’s October! Watch Creepshow if you need a scare.

As Bilbo might say, I’m feeling “sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread,” so I’m not going to force some writing out this weekend. I need some more outside time. American vacations are often not relaxing, because we don’t have as many days for holiday; I drove well over a thousand miles in a week, most of it in two days, for us to see what we wanted in San Diego, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, Idyllwild, Route 66, and the Grand Canyon.

Here’s a photo teaser of what’s to come.

The San Diego Zoo; La Jolla Beach; Palm Springs; The Cabazon Dinosaurs; Idyllwild in the San Bernardino Mountains; Joshua Tree National Park; Hi Jolly’s Tomb; Kingman, Arizona; The Grand Canyon; The Wild Burros of Oatman, Arizona on Old Route 66.

Until then, off I fly like this Red-Bellied Woodpecker, who lands at the feeder only for a second or two before stashing peanuts in the aluminum siding of my neighbor’s house.
