October 2023

• Some of the overgrown fig leaves some people have been commenting on create a lovely autumn duo for October's header.

• Urban Wilderness – City Paradise for October

• Roxy left earth on Wednesday 11 October. Here's one of the pictures in her beautiful Easter bandana.

• A trip downtown through Vermont Wilshire Metro Station (the one with the long escalator) on Thursday 12 October and a visit to Angelica, not all that far from MacArthur Park. Here's some of the emoji art on classic subway tiles.

• Photo collages from Twin Valleys Fall Festival on Saturday 14 October. Fab autumn-Halloween decorations, tasty BBQ, and a beyond fabulous jazz band.

• For Reformation Sunday in West Los Angeles we had an al fresco potluck and decorated small pumpkins. Look at this fun and fancy array!

• Today, 31 October is Reformation Day 2023.

• All day today, 31 October is Halloween. Though I didn't keep a visitor tally, I handed out four packages of fun size candy bars at 2 per person, including several parents. The last few trick or treaters got Halloween Oreos I actually remembered. Happily they loved the cookies!
