WORLD ORDER "HAVE A NICE DAY"

Some days I really miss Japan

.

.

 .

The group AKB48 is a girl singing group,
that performs in their own theater.
.

If you have time check out 

"Informal Order"

The  dancing is quite unbelievable.

Also Welcome to Tokyo.

I kept yelling, I been there  !

Just something silly and fun !

cheers,  parsnip

Square Dog Friday. . . not spoiled at all !

We all know what day this is.

Best day of the week if your a Square Dog.

Plus their contract says so and I have no wish to go to arbitration again.

I lost big last time !

.

The wonderful blog Flossy Reads has an adorably Flossy who 

likes to nap in different places. The flower pots are so far my favorite.

.

Which brings me to the napping places of The Square Ones.

Today it is my studio.

Wonderful friend D.  found this outstanding Scotty Pin for me.

 thehamish doesn't nap in the sink but he does spend quite a lot of
time in there getting his bum washed.

Wednesday in Tucson

This is usually the day I post about Japan.

But one of my best friends came from Laguna Beach for a visit.
We zoomed around all seven days. Here are two of our favorite Parks to visit.

I have posted about both of these Parks before.
...
Tohono Chul Park
.

Wonderful rock wall with built in planters.

.

Very old Prickly Pear cactus growing within a Paloverde Tree.

.

How architectural are these Prickly Pear pad growing next to each other.

.

Looking up into a Olive Tree.
Beautiful.

.

Deer crossing.

Isn't she lovely.

.

I have posted on this before.

It is a Arizona Bee House that is a wonderful sculpture .

Arizona Bees are very friendly but really leave you alone.

I lurve them and I am very allergic to bee stings.

.

Outstanding Mariachi Band from Pueblo High School. 

This was my High School so many years ago !

The lead female singer was wonderful. Crystal clear notes so perfectly held.

All I can say is she had a pair of lungs on her and she is only in High School.

If you know Mariachi music, not narcocorrido music,
you know you must be able to hold your notes.

The whole band was fabulous.

I grew up listing to great Mariachi music.

I am writing the Pueblo High School a note (I write everyone) to say how much 

I enjoyed listening to them. I think a hand written note means so much more.

.

Arizona Desert Sonora Desert Museum.

.

.

Another beautiful rock wall in front of a pale lavender wall.

With some Organ Pipe cactus.

.

Quite young Organ Pipe cactus.

.

 Saguaro cactus come in all shapes and sizes.
I really wanted a person to stand, on a stool, behind and stretch their arms out.

.

Bat Garden with more Organ Pipe Cactus 

and a several young Saguaro cactus

.

Yes, we have lots of flowering plants even in the fall.

.

Lovely shadows.

.

And you wonder why I love syfy !

I grew up around Space Alien plants.

This is (I think) Fouquicria  from the Ocotillo Family.

Extremely tall maybe 15 feet ?
I always think they are  towers to call home.
Where ever that may be.

Another sculpture from the Bee Artist. 

The back of this Bench is a Arizona Bee house.

.

I want this Javelina Sculpture !


............................
A pretty for mid-week.
We have been having quite a few of these lovely spotted (?) clouds.
Looking like waves of the ocean.

parley view parsnip... leftovers !

Just a few leftovers from Halloween.

......

 

 Halloween Sushi

.

 Several people asked what Granddaughter would be this year for Halloween.

And yes they have Halloween in Japan, mostly at school.

Mia found the dress and crown on her latest trip to Tucson.

She likes it because it is pink (?)
We like it because it is not a brand or Disney Princess. 

So she can be who she wants from a dancer, singer to a princess.

I always say space pilot heart doctor princess.

.

 Son took her to an indoor playground in Osaka.
I think she loved it !

.

 Watson sitting in the sun on Saturday afternoon.

Photo bombing thehamish is hunting for lizards and a very small baby snake 

that lives in the sage bush.

Here is your pretty to start the week.

I spent my last day in the pool on Saturday.
 November is here and the heater is going off.

I took the photos while in the pool.

As thehamish says

I will have to wait till April.

 .

Opps, this photo was to be first.

My Watson who is deaf and has dementia really likes to sleep on my bed.

Usually at the foot of the bed. But the second I get up he is right there to cuddle 

in with the pillows. He will make a nest and go back to sleep.

Last week after showering this is what I saw.

Pillows moved and blankets moved. He likes to nest.

.

awwwww my sweet baboo.

Love the paws !

.

Really.....  I am sleeping here.

.

I like the bed this way.

You can make it how ever you like baboo.
