Your Sunday Squirrel

I didn't make many trips to Denny Park this week.  I was working and there was Christmas and all.  This fellow is from yesterday.  Somebody left something that this guy really liked.  He wasn't inclined to move at all.  I didn't want to bother him.  Squirrels have it tough enough.

I Had a Christmas

It was at my sister's place in Issaquah.  This is the tree.  I got some good stuff.  I also gave some good stuff.

Booker the dog was there.  Stacey was dog-watching, so she brought him along.  He was a hit with everybody.

Some people, like this Santa, had it a little less nice.

Here are a few shots from this week:

 

 

 

All in all, a pretty good week for squirrel photography.

I Temped at a Dog Walking Company

It was in the Darth Vader Building.  And I made a friend.  This is Gus.

P.S. I walked no dogs.  It's an Internet-thing.

These are some squirrels from today.  The guy above had a dinged-up face and the fellow below liked to look up.  Enjoy.

When a squirrel looks at you like this:

 ...it means he's going to jump straight at you.  He doesn't have a plan; he just wants to jump on you.  This will scare you.

This is either a squirrel in flight or the ground.

My point is that I dropped my phone.

Nothing was broken, but the focus was a little iffy in the aftermath.

This is the same squirrel, checking to see whether I was good.  If I had gotten closer, he probably would have tried to jump on me again.  The end.

Sorry for the lack of posts.  I'm in the midst of writing tunes for three albums (and soon a fourth) that no one will buy.  I can't promise that I'll post more often, but I will try to keep up with the squirrels and take the occasional interesting Belltown photo.  OK?

I had a few temp gigs this week, so visits to the park were limited.  And when I did make it, the weather was super rainy.  Here's some of what I got:

Here are some highlights:

 

A lot of stuff happened around the bench.

The week in review:

Some of these have already been posted on Facebook and Instagram and some are new.  All in all, it's been a great week for squirrels.

Happy Halloween!

Here are some highlights:

 Just me being saucy.  Yes, that's my real face.

We went to Aurora Village and there was this spooky abandoned clothes dryer in the parking lot.  You don't see that kind of thing every day.

If you look closely, you'll see that this is two pumpkins.  I'm happy with how they turned out.  I spent the early half of the afternoon carving and the latter half drinking.  It was a fine day.

Another creation; I'm not overly satisfied with this.  Maybe it's a bit better than the photo makes it look.

This is Stacey's pumpkin.  Yes, very nice.  It's an owl.  She did it without any overlays or patterns or anything.

OK, bad photo and it doesn't really show what's going on, but it's a pumpkin with an axe in its head and pumpkin-brains spilling out.  It was a good conversation piece.

This was in another yard up the street.  It had light-up eyes and it shook a lot.  

Here's our main attraction, homicidal Santa.  We were going to do a more all-encompassing creepy Christmas theme, but we settled for this and just a few other things.  It looked great when it got dark.

OK, so once again, it was a great Halloween.  And most of the kids were really polite.

I took a lot of pictures this week.  And many of them are really good.  I posted many of them on Facebook and Instagram.  If you've already seen them, then I apologize, but I'm really happy with how they turned out:

 

 

 

 

 OK, that's enough for now.
