I decided to take a break from posting picture of flowers from the Conservatory of Flowers last Wednesday and post some more pictures Friday's day 100 trip to Macy's. This was in the candy area that they had set up kind of between the makeup and the watches.

Candid taken of Candy as we wandered off path through the Kelso Dunes area, located in San Bernardino County, California. She was holding her dress up as she walked trying to avoid getting those sticky desert things from tangling all up in the dress (again).
This place was amazing, and it just so happens that since we came here we randomly came across 3 other sets of sand dunes since, crazy! But these ones were perhaps the most extensive of the ones we've seen. Futher south is a larger rip out of the earth of these dunes but this is the biggest one this far north I believe. This is located in the southern portion of the Mojave Desert National Preserve.
The sand at sand dunes is even softer than the sand at the beach. When you see mountains of sand dunes you feel like you can run up it without fear, because even if you fall the worst that could happen is you end up all sandy!
The Riverfront Trolley along Canal Street, just passing in front of the Old Court House.
The Riverfront route is perhaps the city's most tourist-friendly line. Candy-apple red vintage streetcars whisk visitors along the Mississippi riverfront, starting at Esplanade Avenue outside the French Quarter and ending at Canal Street. En route, riders pass near the historic French Market, Woldenburg Park and the Napolean house, as well as restaurants, hotels and shops.
Another shot from my trip to San Francisco. The sun was dropping and the fog was rolling in behind me... and damn it was cold!
I've never really played with a faux tilt shift effect before but I feel it works in this image. Any thoughts or critiques are always welcome!

My mother got me this candy (ridiculously overpriced) in Tokyo Narita Airport when I was sending them off after they came to visit me because I liked it so much . I love sweets, and I love "konpeito", which are the tiny star-shaped rock candies you see in the photo above. If you remember, in "Spirited Away", the litle black monsters were fed "konpeito" as their meal. Anyhow, seki-han is glutinous rice mixed with red azuki beans. It is a symbolic food, and is eaten with salt and black sesame sprinkled on top. If you look at the "salt" in this mini-candy box, you'll see that it is actually teeny-tiny white konpeito! And the mini-chopsticks are adorable.
We made out like BANDITS!
Had to snap a shot before we ran off in the night to go burglarize some homes for candy.
Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
I liked these animal illustrations on the candy packaging at a convenience store in town. The candy itself is unremarkable. It was labeled "caramel," but tasted like stale Sugus.

Lati Green Coco is gorgeous! I'm very pleased with this new doll. Lati is one of my favourite doll companies, I love all my Lati dollies!! Candy is wearing the sailor outfit of her promo pics.
This stand alone cottage was where my maternal grandfather was born. It may look quite nice and picturesque here in the present day, but back then in the late 1800s it was more remote and as I understand it, he grew up in fairly challenging circumstances. Despite that. he made it to a grammar school and from there on to university in Oxford. There is a plaque in honour of him on the house, and the housing estate surrounding here that was built subsequently, has all the roads named after his academic associations. On the estate there are Oxford Drive, Cambridge Drive, Harvard Close, Edinburgh Drive, Peterhouse Close, Balliol Close and Wadham Gardens. I did take photos of all those signs but to post them would be rather dull!
I never met him, he died before I was born by a few years, but I made a point of tracking down this location and visiting it.
