Reality Is Concept #Whatever

So yeah, another holiday weekend has come and gone, and with it, 62 more pictures uploaded to my computer, 'cause you know, they gotta go somewhere.

Randomness is a good thing, especially with photos on a blog. Enjoy!

Teenagers will often buy the strangest things (c'mon, 'fess up, you had the same brain waves too when you was a teen) for apparel, and sometimes they'll get their grandmamma to buy it for them.

This is one of those times. A funky giraffe sleeper thingy.

Um.....yah.



I went for a walk Saturday afternoon with my camera and took the bulk of my 62 photos that day. These are some kind purply flowers growing on the side of the road. I actually took about three pics and this is the best of them.


My journey took me through the dead zone...umm, the tunnel...umm, the closed off section of Mountain road. This is looking south towards the end. It was quite peaceful and pleasantly mild walking down the road. And fortunately, no bugs or trash to speak of either.

 And this is looking back up the road from the concrete barrier. You can see that there really isn't much of anything in the way of debris. And yes, it was an exceptionally sunny road.

Additionally, the scenery in both this photograph and the one above is predominately featured in one of my slushie novels A Lascivious Limbo.



When I finished up my walk, I decided to take about a dozen photos of both Oreo The Sausage Dog and Tina Airplane Ears, our family Chihuahuas. I was dog sitting yet again (it's my basic weekend job during the summer camping season), so wanted to something different for a change.

Yes, I call Oreo a sausage dog since he's a bit larger than your average Chihuahua. Term of Bill's Endearment, you might say. As for Tina, I call her Airplane Ears because her ears are always  horizontal at rest.




And this, my friends, is as close as you're gonna get to seeing what my face looks like, sans hair and beard. Actually, I had Jenelle shoot about half dozen pics for my FB page, since I really don't want people to know what I look like. And yes, I was very hot in that hoody that day. Temps were in the mid 70's for Columbus day.

    Closer than you'll get to seeing what I look like.
    I never purchased anything weird like that outfit. And thankfully no aunt or grandmother forced me to have a Christmas Story moment.
    Nice place for a walk.

      Be mysterious as a writer is a very good thing indeed. I have less than three pics of my floating around on my blog (not counting this one), that shows my face.

      I'm not into weird clothing, but my daughter is most definitely is.

      A Christmas Story moment. I gotta remember that one. :D

      Which is directly due to doing too much porking of the doggy food.

    Love the giraffe. She can totally use that as a Halloween costume. Pretty walk, too!

      That could be an interesting thought.

      And it's one of my favorite places to walk.

    The giraffe costume looks cozy. Your daughter looks precious. Who knows what you look like? I always picture you as your dad since you shared his picture.

    Girls and their onesies. How do you spell Onesie? Whatever, I have to say your daughter's giraffe one looks a whole let better than my younger daughter's pizza sleeper. Btw You realise they don't just use them for sleeping in right? My daughter wanted to wear hers at the airport travelling from the USA to the UK. :D

      I think you spelled it correctly. I'm pretty she uses it for sleeping. I don't think she's too cavalier about her image yet, so that's a good thing, I hope.

      That would be excellent for you, 'cause pics taken by parents for embarrassment purposes are a good thing. :D

    What do you mean, strange? I have a panda onesie. It's very cozy, and I plan on wearing it at Halloween.

      Present company not withstanding, I've found it to be very true about teenagers doing very strange things. Like buying onesis.
