Here are a few odds and ends for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay
It seems a local steakhouse has installed an automatic bubble maker. This ingenious idea gets the kids the flock towards the entrance. Then all the parent end up going inside to eat lol. Great business idea.
I discovered a hidden passageway behind a sushi restaurant while exploring new areas of the downtown with my daughter. Now she always want to go in here to see the lanterns.
Meanwhile in Chicago the mornings are getting darker and darker with some interesting colors. Soon it will just be pitch black until 8am with no colors and a gray sky.
Back in suburbia we found a nice tank garden. My daughter is getting big enough to want to climb things now and she really wanted to go up on this thing. I told her she is just a bit too little still. Thankfully they are surrounded by soft rubber substrate so if any kid biffs it off one of these things they'll just bounce like a ball and probably get a bit of a rug burn.
The pumpkins are hatching out. Time to start thinking of a jackolantern design.
I found these things growing naturally in a lot that used to have a house that eventually got demolished. Now the lot is for sale and the old garden is still producing pumpkins.
They even had a nice orange one, I wonder if these just started growing from leftover jackolanterns left to rot in the back yard?
Now for a swampy turtle. I let my daughter watch Gamera the Brave and now she thinks all these turtles will grow into a huge turtle that breathes fireballs.
An extra sharp agave is worrying the squirrels.
Don't go over there! You'll get poked and sawed to death if you try and climb that thing.
This little guy looks half grown and will need to beef up before winter hits. For now it was rolling around the agave playing. All the adult squirrels are busy fighting eachother over walnut stashes.
That's all the odds and ends for now, thanks for looking and keep walking :-)
A bit of both the city, the country and the pumpkins. And the little rascal who cheers you up!
Those young squirrels were hilarous rolling around playing.
