Halloween preview

It's getting to be that time of year again.

Mount Vernon street in Prescott is gearing up for Halloween trick-or-treaters.

Spiders apparently are big this year.

 This house is torn between Halloween and Election Day, apparently.

In the next two days, I'll show you some of the creepier decorations.  And, as always, you should click on the individual pictures for the total effect.

Yee-haw!

What's that out there on the South 40, Tex?

Looks like some of the "boys" comin' in for lunch.

But what's that orange thing? A hang-glider gone bad? Well, who knows.


And there's old "Lonesome Joe".

Just another day on the range.

Changes

Yesterday . . .

Today . . .

 

Go Army!

I have a grandson in the U.S. Army. 

This is not him.

Arizona fauna

I spotted an Arizona Roadrunner yesterday.  This one stopped alongside the road long enough for me to take some pictures.

Here's a closer look.  

Kind of makes one wonder whether he's a roadrunner or a rocksitter.

But he's a roadrunner.  They are prevalent in this area.

A silent movie (except for the wind)

I thought you might like to see a bit of my part of Arizona, particularly the changing sky.

Not the Arizona you've read about

Today is a dark and dreary day in the high desert country of Arizona.

 And it's wet.

Definitely not the land of eternal sunshine you've been led to believe in, is it?

Oh well, it will only be a day or two.  Then the sun will come out again.
