Stalk and Spider
From our drive along the Bay of Fundy on the way to PEI. I feel like I should know what this flower is, but I don’t.
Golden Seaweed
Octo
We spied a little octo while tidepooling at Coal Oil Point. I wish I could have a pet octo.
Still Life with Hermit Crab
 Coal Oil Point, Santa Barbara This quickly became a not-so-still life when the hermit crab started to scuttle away.
Magenta Polka Dots
Kathryn and I took advantage of a very low tide today to get some photos at Coal Oil Point. Edited to add: I think this guy is a Giant Sea Star (Pisaster giganteus). Though this particular one is not very giant yet.
Gate
At Wat U Mong. We saw may gates in this style, made with thin strips of metal in different designs – usually floral. This building had many bas reliefs, built into it, and also pieces leaning up against the walls along the outside.
Pensive
One of the things we enjoyed most at Wat U Mong was the ‘graveyard’ of damaged images of Buddha, the King, and other once-precious items. They were grouped together in the forest, large mossy heads and torsos in one area and smaller figures in another.
Orchid Spray
Orchids are everywhere in Chiang Mai – as common as begonias are here at home. They are popular as hanging plants on porches, and they are also planted in the trees along the city sidewalks. This spray was just a few doors down from Gernot’s place.
Across the Street
The driveway right across from Gernot’s place.
