Last weekend my Aunt Pat and my Uncle Jim were visiting all the way from Virginia. It was lovely. On Sunday morning we hiked the beach, from Chetzemoka Park out to the lighthouse and back. It went from early am fog to sun during the hike.

traveling door
For Norm2.0’s Thursday doors.
This traveling door/home/bike and kayak carrier was in Port Townsend. I did not meet the homeowners, but it looks like a lot of fun, doesn’t it? A home on wheels, a shell for people, a traveling kayak carrier…
folk art
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: quaint.
We visited my friend Malene in Wisconsin, and she took us and her grandchildren to Nick Engelbert’s Grandview.
We may think of folk art as quaint or cute, but his art is amazing and on a grand scale. The house, the out building and a yard full of sculpture, all to explore. The house was closed so we did not go inside on this trip, but the outside is wonderous.
This is not the house. It’s just an outbuilding.
These are the arches in front of the house.
Amazing!
And sculptures all through the yard:
This is being restored.
Not just an elephant. It is political commentary.
Complex, humorous and my impression is certainly that this farmer/artist was a joyous worker!

badger
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: smirk.
Visiting friends in Wisconsin in August, we were taken on an evening quick tour of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. There are multiple decorated statues of Bucky Badger on campus. Is the expression a smile or smirk or serious?
I’m a badger too.
slippery
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: slippery.
The front rocks at the lake slope down into the water. The rocks are terrifically slick when it first rains.
They are also slick when we try to step into the lake to swim.
We invented a new way to get in this year. On the edge of the water, go forward a bit and then…
slide in….
twilight
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: crepuscule.
Honestly, my brain wants to mix it up with corpuscle. The poet part of my brain wants to play with both words and is thinking about creepy twilight stories more appropriate to next month. With characters wearing crepe, creeping around, carping about corpses. This is sounding more and more like a Charles Addams cartoon.
cat worries 2
To follow up yesterday’s cat worries, here is Ms Boa Cat. Once I realized that I was looking right at her, I got my camera.
She found her warm place. What ARE the humans fussing about?
For Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge: red. It was the black stripe on the red blanket that hid Ms Boa so well.
full fathom five
“Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them,βding-dong, bell.”
Ariel in Act 1 Scene 2 of the Tempest
For Ragtag Daily Prompt: fathom.
