PHOTO HODGEPODGE -- PART 1: THIS AND THAT

Random photos I had planned to blog about but never got around to, like this colorful mascot at a high school I visited several years ago, and the sign on a car window that caught my eye.

The little weatherbeaten squirrel in my daughter's front yard that brings back sweet memories of the friend who gave it to her over a quarter of a century ago.

Cute sighting in my parking lot. 

A locust borer beetle outside my window.

My great-granddoggie, Riley. 

Ravens on the tree across across from my window, that has since been cut down.
