Lighthouse stairs

Looking back or is it looking up.

Fall leaves

Fall leaves are beautiful, even when they are on the ground.  These were in our boulevard.  The rain has added some flavor.

Hawaiian flowers

We were blessed this week with a Hawaiian bouquet sent by her sister's family.  The blooms are spectacular and so unusual.

They came from

Anuhea Flowers

Fall walk

Yesterday we went for a drive out to Champoeg State Park.  The boys enjoyed the sights and smells of the woods.  Randa and I enjoyed the fall colors.

Travel by air

    Remember when travel by air was a big thing?  My parents won a trip and flew from Minnesota to California in the late 50s or early 60s.  My uncle took movies of their loading and the takeoff.  Mom wore a dress.  Dad wore a suit.  It was a big deal to fly.
     Today?   Not so much .   Today almost anything goes.  Shorts, flip-flops, sweatshirts, of course jeans.   But when you think of it, why not?
   You stand in lines.  At the ticket counter.  At the TSA check point.  At the loading chute.   Might as well be comfortably dressed.
   And then there's the plane.  Have you ever seen the livestock trailers hauling cattle or sheep?  Notice how crammed together they are?   Commercial air travel has a lot a similarities.
   To top it off, the airlines feel free to charge you for almost everything.  Sun Country Airlines charges for bandage whether it's carry on or stowed.  Plus, you pay $7 to $15 for the seat, un comfortable as it is, depending upon the proximity to the front of the plane.   Can you believe it?
   Where's my car?
   

Memory from the Coast

The morning mist on the Oregon coast.  The beginning of another day.

Karla's Sunset

The sunset last evening.       Goodbye, Karla

Flowers again

Some thing to make a smile.

My sister would love these.

Fungi

A walk in the woods gives you peace.  A walk in the woods shows you cool fungi friends.

Nice

What happened to nice.  Being nice. Being respectful.  We are in Minnesota right now and election ads are running on TV.   NONE of them are nice.  None are respectful.   Only negative claims about the "other guy".  I am so tirwtof the negativity that abounds inour society right now.  It makes me want to become a hermit.

Look

Sometimes it's good to look up.
