Kitty up a tree

Kitty is posing for me near the creekside in Atascadero.

Creepy Clowns

This clown looks pretty creepy to me.  But colorful too, so we can ignore that hint of the creeps.

Ghost Pepper Sauce

Here is just the stuff to make your ghost coffee.  But use carefully as "a little dab will do ya".

More Hot Chili

Hot Chile!

On a cold morning, there is nothing like some hot coffee to wake and warm up.  Put a little bit of hot pepper in your morning mocha, and you create a Mexican mocha.  Add some ghost pepper hot sauce, and you make a "ghost coffee".  Just a drop will do it, though.

Kitten's Helping Hand

This little kitten needed a "hand up" and was surprisingly cooperative in looking at the camera for his photo.

Dogtober Festival

This energetic guy was practicing for the Atascadero Dogtober Festival dogs races in the Sunken Garden park during the Colony Days celebration.  I'm not sure what place he won, but he sure was fast.

Big Cat

I like this photo of the cat sculpture at Sculpterra Winery.  He looks to be stalking something through the tall grass.

Garden Art

Here is a detail of interesting shapes and shadows, in black and white, from the garden.
