A small visitor

Fallen in battle
A discarded plastic toy on a sidewalk. The toy is akin to a Power Ranger, with a red torso, helmet, and boots with silver accents, and black pants. It's on its back in an awkward pose, perhaps dropped, perhaps forgotten, perhaps lost.

Here we are in Turkey Town
Angled photo of a grocery store cold case stuffed with "tender & juicy, premium young" turkeys swaddled in plastic wrap and netting. At the end of the cold case are some inflatable cartoon turkey balloons, to add to the commercialized festiveness.

What movie did you love as a kid and still love now?
Movie poster for the movie Tron from 1982. The poster features the iconic scene of Tron with his hands aloft and his disc suspended above him. It also features the light cycles, the solar sailor ship, and resident [corporate] baddie Zark. Simpler times and all that.

October moon - cell + telescope. And then a random happenstance when I was using just my phone to snap a pic of the clouds.
The moon from October 1, 2025, in the waxing Gibbous phase. Evening cloud strewn sky, with several corvids flying by in the foreground.

A few years difference in Olde Towne Portsmouth. Not quite the same angle, but Sing Wong restaurant is now boarded up, and the sign is missing. I wonder if someone took it or if it got trashed.

#Holga #BelieveInFilm
Angled view of brick-faced shops. A two-portion sign reading "Sing Wong restaurant carry-out" juts out from one of the shops. Angled view of brick-faced shops, the same from the previous image. In this one, there is no restaurant sign, and the windows of that shop are now boarded up.

I regret not making it out to Star Wars week, but I'm happy that it happened. (Also, bonus Raiders!)

Post a duo.
Electra Woman and Dyna Girl from the 1970s Krofft Superstars television show. They are two women dressed in red and yellow variant superhero attire, holding their capes in front of them in a dramatic manner.

That's just... an interesting choice for showcasing Libby's Pure Pumpkin. Nothing accompanies Fall and pie-making season like kitten chow.
Grocery end-cap display in the pet section of the store. The top and bottom shelves hold various cat and dog foods bags, while the middle shelf holds multiple cans of pure pumpkin, the stuff typically used for pies.

Top. Men.
Eaton from Raiders of the Lost Ark. He is a pale, mustachioed man in a suit, with a pipe in his mouth. He wants you to believe that he has experts securing the Ark of the Covenant.

By contrast for that second photo... I took a cell phone pic of that wall in 2017. The ghost sign was clearer then. Best I can figure, it was a dry cleaner/laundry establishment.
Brick wall with a ghost sign. Text on the sign might read "Eastman" in fancy script. Below that is a line that reads, in part, "Buttons and [indecipherable] free."

A variety of walls - Olde Towne Portsmouth, and Norfolk

#Holga #BelieveInFilm
Brick wall with a mural. The mural is a collection of yellow flowers with the words "You Are Not Alone" written in white on top of them. The face of a black cat is featured on the right side of the mural. Brick wall with a very faded ghost sign. Various graffiti is on the lower portion of the wall. Warehouse-type building with a faded and rusted sign with words that are no longer legible. There is also what appears to be a faded shamrock shape on the left side of the sign.

Saw this at the local 7-11 but didn't get a chance to snap a pic in the wild. I know the topper is supposed to be the sorting hat or whatever, but it seems fitting (for a JKR thing) that it looks like a turd on top of a tube of turds.
Harry Potter-themed plastic tube filled with brown-wrapped Hershey Kisses candy. The tube is capped by a brown plastic sorting hat from the HP franchise.

Waxing Gibbous - 9/5/25. Cell + telescope. Not especially clear but some detail. Upgraded my phone (add air quotes here) and I'm finding it more challenging to get that sweet spot with 3 lenses. 😅

A green preying mantis on a window screen. The mantis has its head tilted to stare at the camera, almost with ripe contempt.

Welp. Looks like it's that time again (because I'm a glutton for emotional video game punishment).
A Nintendo Switch on a blanket. The screen shows part of the prologue for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
