Unloading in Astoria, Oregon

How's about a throw back Thursday (but still on a Wednesday?! Love the Lego Movie). He's a sophomore in university now, so this is only about a decade old, I think. His sweet lil' ol wrist doesn't even fill the sleeve. Aw. (I forgot he got his daddy's cheek mole. Oops. Guess I'm missing him! 3 weeks from today he'll be home. 519 hours or so).

old and decrepit.. but non the less a restaurant in Meers, Oklahoma, home of the famous Meers Burger

Stacked picnic tables......a sure sign summer is over.

OklaMoni, I've never seen anyone park a parallel!

Pictures of Pitcher Plants from last February at the United States Botanic Gardens in D.C.

Jewish friend shared on Facebook and just had to share here.

Happy Halloween.

Speaking of eerie plants, I found the strangler fig trees at the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia to be a bit on the creepy side. This one, living up to it's name, has almost completely surrounded this ancient structure:

This wall will eventually be covered and consumed by the tree:

To give a size reference for these massive trees, here are some people next to one:

Happy to meet you Kittywhiskers!

My brother and I from back in the day! Happy Halloween!!

Took this while walking around town the other day. Happy Halloween to all!

DawnInCal, the first two pics, the roots look like arms and legs...of starving people. Creepy, for sure.

joannm, I've often thought that I would not want to be alone in that area after dark. Heck, I wouldn't want to be there after dark if I was with a large group of people. Between the trees and the ancient crumbling temples, it would definitely be spooky.

I always love the funny skeleton poses.

This was a few years ago. House we pass on walks.

Amen to that, Glenda!

Enjoyed all of today's pics; the Halloween ones were really fun!

A final Halloween picture.
