Just a few delights from a Palm Springs antique mall... the first two are not really "antique," and the third one...is creepy.

P.S.

 

Vacay, yay!

Splash Zone

 

These are not very good photos--I was shooting from a bit of a distance and through a window screen--but they do show just how much water these little dudes/dudettes can splash. I mean...

!!!!!!

And these last two show how crowded the fountain can get. They are endlessly fascinating, funny, and cute! I love my bird friends!

Crustacean

 

We have been walking various SoCal beaches for 30-plus years, and this is the first time I have ever seen a lobster washed up...

Camouflage

 Look how perfectly this beauty blends in...

Pointed

 

Gotta love these old signs...and yes, the Live Wire is a classic "beer joint."

Filters Are Fun

 

Fun with Filters! Spot the bee...

Prized

 

Check out this cool beer glass I won! I answered a trivia question correctly about my beloved Dennison Manufacturing Company, whose publications I collect, and this was my prize! Yay!

(Below are some images from Dennison publications. Much fun with crepe paper!)

Fancy Fone Foto

 

This is a totally unmanipulated photo taken with my new Fancy Fone...nice!

(And no, there is no dentristry taking place in the beer joint!)

We see you, little dude/dudette! 

Bird Days of Summer

 Pool party! How many birds do you see? (There is one very well camouflaged finch here...)

Summer Sunset

 Not bad, end-of-July sunset, not bad...

Hello!

 This sweetie was sitting right outside the window, facing inward. Hello!

Dah(lia)-lightful

This is why we grow dahlias!

 

Delightful

 How much do I love See's? Not only are the chocolates utterly delicious, there is also the whole black-and-white color scheme and retro vibe. I mean, look at this cuteness! Never ever change, See's!
