1528. hope

 

we entered her “now”

for a few moments of gab

a hopeful doorway 🦊❤️

As we sauntered through the streets of Lambertville looking at Halloween displays, we were lucky to run into an artist named Hope. She was busy painting a beautiful garden on a store’s side door. She was as pleasant and interesting as the work of art that she was creating. As I look back on that day’s visit, I have decided to award Hope the prize of “The Most Friendly Stranger” of the day! Friendly people make our world a hopeful place. Thank you Hope!! 🦊❤️

1527. empty window

 

the storefront window

filled up with lots of nothing

scary emptiness  🦊❤️

We spent the day walking around Lambertville looking at the array of store and residential Halloween displays. They ranged from cute to blood curdling.  As usual I found myself most fascinated by the artistic statement of an unintended display. 🦊❤️

1526. frost on the pumpkins kind of day

 

today’s frosty morn

put me in an autumn mood

baking seemed so right 🦊❤️

There is something about frosty mornings that brings out the domestic side of me.  No better way to let it loose than making pumpkin pies. Yummy. 🦊❤️

1525. mad mad world

 

“the smothers brothers”

“laugh in” and “hullabaloo”

“mad magazine” too 🦊❤️

Yulan and I sat at our neighborhood pizza joint on Friday night eating a coal fired pizza.  The place was crowded and people on their way to various Halloween parties stopped by for a quick bite. We watched a mother and daughter hippy team. Visions of the 1960s and 1970s filled my mind. Where are Alfred E Neuman and Pat Paulson when you need them. 🦊❤️

1524. the garrett

 

mysterious light

beams from the tiny garrett

on this starless night 🦊❤️

Some scenes are simply mysterious…🦊❤️

1523. night owl

 

at the crack of dawn

the tuxedo makes it home

time for a cat nap 🦊❤️

Cats are mysterious and you just never know what they are up to in their travels.  One thing for sure, they sure know how to sleep when they are done  doing whatever it is they were doing!!  🦊❤️

1522. magnetic gaze

 

when i saw you there

your eyes became brown magnets

they drew me closer 🦊❤️

What a magical experience… two big brown eyes that were looking intently at me seeming to say,  “Get closer to me.”  And I did…🦊❤️
