I don’t know what this was all about, but we found this hat of distinction residing above a dry fountain in a little plaza outside the restrooms when we stopped for gas in Mexico on our way up to the States!
And now, more hats–which really are just a reflections of the people who wear them. (Seems like I’ve done this prompt before, but at least the images above are new, and the folks below warrant a second view if I’ve posted them before.)
It’s become tradition to pin dollar bills to the ceiling of Washoe House—a northern California roadhouse established in 1859. After a burglar broke in and stole a good deal of the money a few years ago and the insurance company put a limit to what they would recompense them, the owner took a rake to the ceiling of the back room and in just a section of it, collected $5,000 to give to charity. Now every so often he “harvests” the ceiling. We stopped there for lunch on our way home from Sea Ranch.
I’m about to hit the road to drive back to Berkeley and then will fly on to Wyoming day after tomorrow. The Prompt today is to write an anonymous letter to someone you’re jealous of. This is a prompt I’ve already written about, please see my response HERE*
It’s been foggy all day. This evening as it began to lift, I caught this wonderful still life:
Minutes later, this little fellow made an appearance. He was the tiniest fawn any of us had ever seen–so newly born that he was still wobbly. His mother never did appear in the ten minutes we watched him.
This happens to be the door of ZaSu Pitts’ house…right next to the Nickelodeon theater in Santa Cruz, Ca. It is as colorful as she was.

We celebrated my friend’s birthday today..Do you want to be a peeping Tom????
While Peggy and Sabrina took Sharon for a walk, I stayed home to decorate for the surprise party.
What’s for dinner?
Pizza and Caesar Salad
Tres Leches Cake–but what are those black things on it?
Oh!
Happy Birthday, Sharon!!! (We gave the mustaches back.)
I wish I’d read this before I did my photo post today. Three posts may be pushing it, but please read this tomorrow if you don’t have time today!
feel beautiful today
like some small green thing
sprouting through
forest fire ashes
or a boa constrictor almost
completely rid of
its old skin
or a confetti of perfect feathers
after a bird finds fate
in a window pane
or a shorefront full of jellyfish
from an aerial view
on a fishing boat
or a book that unravels you
written by your favourite
dead poet
Peggy, Sabina, Sharon and I took a walk along the coastline today. I soon fell behind because I’m incapable of passing up a good scene to shoot. Here are some of the results. Tomorrow is Sharon’s birthday. She’s in the center. Shhhh. I’m planning a surprise party. I’ll take pics.
