Petaluma Palm Trees
I'm in California for 4 weeks visiting and helping my parents move. I might not post any more photos here until I get back in mid-July, but I may occasionally put one up on fotolog.

I think these are all vacant.
I haven't yet seen this open... but maybe it'll open for summer.
Downtown Paradise 1
This sign makes me laugh. The saloon is open (or at least there were some people inside when I walked by) the restaurant is shut down. It wasn't good anyway.

Spikes
This incredible creature was hanging out in the backyard today. First on the break wall then it came right up to the house to sit on the stone walk. I couldn't get enough photos of its amazingly spiky body. I've never seen such a dangerous looking turtle before.
I put a desktop wallpaper up of it.

Graduation 2004
This is the Whitefish Township School 2004 senior graduating class, all nine of them. There were also ten eighth graders and four kindergarteners who graduated today. Kindergarteners in caps and gowns was a cuteness I had never before seen.
The nice thing about small-town graduations is how short the ceremony is, and there was still time for sweet things like the "Presentation of Roses" from the high school graduates to their family members, and "Memories", a student made PowerPoint presentation of photos shown to music and the endearing "awww" sounds of the audience.
Donovan's mom had taught three of these students while they were in kindergarten through the third grade. To the delight of everyone, she came all the way from BC to be here. I was introduced to some of the school personnel that I hadn't yet met, everyone there seems to be extraordinarily nice.
Donovan was Valedictorian of his five person class at this school exactly ten years ago.

Wrong
"Gypsy, if you think I'm giving you some of my pizza, you're wrong!"PhotoTime Tuesday theme: wrong
Or could it be wrong that I'm eating pizza for breakfast, in the living room, at noon, in my men's pajama pants and leopard slippers... or that I took a few moments out of eating pizza to take this photo!

Fishing with the Moon
Multitasking: watching Fishing with John (the Jim Jarmusch episode, I think) and the moonrise at the same time.

Girl in the Red Dress
Donovan playing DDR with a girl at the Mackinac city arcade. I think her boyfriend thought I was creepy taking photos through the window.

Bay City Kids
This is "Scoobie Doo" and Margo. Scoobie insisted that Donovan had cigarettes for him. After the disappointment that neither of us smoked or had any money or drugs, he did some skate tricks for us. I considered giving him a dollar, but decided against it. I didn't want him to buy cigarettes with it.
