The thousands of acres on fire nearby for days must have been responsible for this remarkable firey red sun that I photographed for a mile or so as we drove home along city streets. Amazing. Even more surprising was the fact that we smelled no smoke!
I went to the polo matches in Sheridan, Wyoming with my sister and brother-in-law and their friends today. There were polo players from all over the world there as well as a diverse audience. The African Gray parrots are the team mascots of one of the teams and attend all of their matches. Both their mom and their dad are polo players and owners of the team. The bulldog is also a regular member of the audience and meanders at will.
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY!!!!!
Please click on photos to enlarge.
I love this bronze sculpture of a cat looking into a mirror which is one of dozens along the streets and in the parks in Sheridan, Wyoming. This one is on the corner near the cinema.

And, it seems like this would be appropriate for Travel With Intent’s “Reflections” prompt, as well.

I love this autumn bouquet in front of my friend Jackie’s house.

What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. Since my entire time here has been filled with dr. appointments and medical tests, I have so much appreciation for the friendliness and helpfulness of all the people at the hospital and the medical center here. Today I went to pick up the results of my tests at the medical records dept. It is hidden away so deep in the bowels of the hospital that they actually have a person guide you there from the front desk. Really! They did this both times I went there! When I arrived, I was greeted by these two lovely ladies who had made sure to make me copies and disks of all my tests and to get them ready super fast as I’m flying out tomorrow. We had a bit of a chat and they are thinking about visiting me in Mexico! As you can see, the Halloween spirit has hit even Medical Records.
