Jim and Em watch TV

Jim and Emmy enjoyed watching the Iron Bowl last night.  Em is an Alabama fan but Jim doesn't like Nick Saban.  Still, they thought it was an exciting game.

Rust + yellow

I love these colors together.  This rusty pole is in Golden Temple's parting lot.

Just one of the reasons I love fall--the magnificent colors.

Fresh bread

I feel so fortunate to live within walking distance of Continental Bakery.  I love to go in there just to look around and smell the wonderful aromas.  Sometimes I even buy stuff.  A couple of my favorites are the wild yeast sourdough and the crawfish pie.

Naked Art is a jolly place.  Wacky and wonderful art.  Wacky and wonderful people.

A trip to Zoe's (used clothing store) is always a cheerful thing to do.

Space critter

This sort of reminds me of R2D2's long legged cousin.

Table top

Click on image to enlarge.

This is a close-up of the table top in my studio.  I love the energy of the splashes and splotches and squiggles.  I think maybe I've been wasting my time working so hard to get my paintings just right.  Maybe I should just start flinging paint around and see what happens.

Coasting

I like the juxtaposition of the wood grain, the crumbling cork and the stone background.

Two mirrors on perpendicular walls in my trippy bathroom.

Enchanted mushrooms

                                                    Click on image to enlarge.

     I found this stand of mushrooms in my yard.  It was the warm, rich colors that first caught my attention but when I got closer I discovered that some of them had faces.  I particularly love the one in the top left corner.   I think of them as little mushroom elves.

Day of the Dead altars

     Last Sunday, even though I wasn't feeling well, I took some great photos of the Day of the Dead festival site but by evening I was too sick to actually attend the festivities or to post the photos.  Now I'm feeling much better but the photos are no longer timely.  Still, they are so bizarre and colorful that I felt compelled to post at least one anyway.  It was hard to choose just one.

Lichen covered ball

     This photo is the result of more late night wandering around, looking at ordinary objects through the lens of my camera.  Everything just seems more interesting to me after midnight.  Have I mentioned that before?
