On my own walk about (rather by bike)
sun downsloons atop trees
sweeping vistas
and time for sauntering on the walk of life...

Halloween - boo!
A couple of days filled with pumpkin picking...and dress ups in characters of the likes of Spidermen, Cinderella and the Terminator ...
Whether it be at Underwood Farms in Moorpark, CA
or an elementary school....
No shortage of pumpkins and imagination here....
May the spirit be with you....

Full October light
Not to put too fine a point on it....but the light is
amazing in October.
Fernalicious patterning
Glowing pumpkins
fresh corn whiskers
Hi beams on
Foragers on the move
Sun flowers glaring at the sun
all at rambling speeds
= one fine breath of a day

Fog bound
"The fog creeps in on little cat feet"...(Carl Sandberg)
and leaves you misty,
bogged down
wondering where it begins and ends...
A confab of government vehicles, red and poised for a slow up, down by the overhead.
But I like this quote...
The fog is like a cage without the key...(E. Wurtzel)
Who's getting out today....
It's the sun that breaks the routine.

Streisand's plunder
Barbra Streisand unloaded a bunchof her 'excess' antiques....I took a looky loo and was amazed at the STUFF!
From a Stickley cabinet ($15K) to that Dirk Van Erp Lamp pictured left (went for $30K), and loads of long, movie star gowns and furry capes...baby grands, and lots of wicker lady loungers.
I took pix with my cellphone, but can't download them onto a Mac....
She put forth her collection as fundraising objects for her Foundation....
A nice mitsve...good deed indeed.

Final descent through LA's profusely busy roads and freeways...
Dusky skies

and the snaking through of back lights...
Drop down into the green gully...
and home free...
