Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻
Cartoon picturing a sweet, grandmotherly woman in a pink gingham dress, light blue apron, and spectacles handing out candy on her front porch. Two small children in costume stand to the side with their bags while the woman gives candy to a tall Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper says, "I'm not wearing a costume. I'm here to take your sou— Holy shit! Full size Snickers! Never mind, Margaret. We're good."

A sight and sound bath: bird song and wind in the trees along the Salt Creek Trail in Nashville, Indiana in 2022, when I was back visiting family.

A tortoiseshell cat rests her cheek against a toy alpaca. (I interrupted her nap to take a photo.) She rests on a soft, dark blue blanket next to a sunny window.

Shadow #Lines —sharp and squiggly—in Santa Fe. #BlueSkyArtShow
Shadow from a stair handrail falls in a zigzag pattern on brick stairs at St. John's College in Santa Fe. Euclid would be intrigued. A swirling paisley-like pattern falls on an adobe wall from a wrought iron gate in downtown Santa Fe.

I opened the cabinet for just a minute—long enough for Caesar to find a soft spot to lounge. #Caturday
