#321: Feline Thanksgiving Dinner

Feral cats roam the property of Southern California Edison.

And they get hungry.

They're excellent hunters. And, sometimes as above, they leave evidence of their catches.

#319: Thanksgiving Top Hat

On the way to the Sister-In-Law's for Thanksgiving, I rode shotgun.

The two-hour drive yielded lots of opportunity of which this dude was one. We exchanged places with him several times over and finally caught back up with him in order to snap this shot.

The top of the hat is adorned with something like a target.

I'm certain he was the one who gave the Thanksgiving address at his relatives that night .....

It's either an alien landscape - complete with weird landing strip - as seen from 13½ miles above the surface .....

#309: It's Gotta Be Light

While decorating today, I came across a hummingbird's nest that was made atop a string of lights.

#303: The Wheels On The Car Go Ugly

I was headed for a seminar last evening and was stopped at a stoplight.

I looked over at the car next to me - a Cadillac - and my eye was attracted downward to its wheels.

The absolute ugliest wheels I had ever seen. By Asanti, apparently.

I looked up their website and was treated to some visually stunning product in price points ranging from a couple hundred to a couple thousand. Per wheel.

Nowhere, however, did I find the wheels above. And I know why:

Because they are, without doubt, the ugliest wheels I have ever seen. And this person, driving this Cadillac, is the only person on the face of the earth, I'm convinced, to have purchased a set.

Sorry. They're ugly. I mean .... really ugly .....

#302: E.L.O. (Entertaining Lovely Overhead)

The drive past the cemetery / mortuary this afternoon on the way to work revealed a sky filled with the skeletal remains of mile-long snakes, cotton candy wisps and the aftermath of God having plowed the heavens with His humongous John Deere.

Needless to say: The cloud formations were amazing Monday afternoon.

Unfortunately, Rupe forgot his camera.

Enter the trusty, shaky cellphone with its cameratic ability to snip a scene on the fly.

#300: A Proud 'O'

Riley's first parade appearance. She's the first 'O' in 'Foothills'.

Look at that concentration. It's enough to make a father puff out his chest with pride.
