Fall is Coming

Here are a few random images captured during the last week or so. Clearly, nothing imperative to impart. . .

I saw these cute little ducks in the window of a shop downtown.

This was the sign in the window. Typical artist? Typical Charleston business mentality? I don't know, but I still really like the ducks.

And on an unrelated note: This is Tripod  -- the stray cat we regularly feed. You can see his missing paw. It is only because of this handicap that Eloise tolerates his presence on her deck. In her own haughty way she is kind to him and sometimes sits guard at the top of the steps while he eats.

He comes to eat with us regularly, but is skittish and will not let us touch him. He is all-boy and cannot behave inside the house (we've tried). We've talked to the pet shelter about him and they will not take him because there is little likelihood that he would be adopted. We should get him to a vet, but we haven't undertaken an attempt to catch him . All we do is put food out for him and try to make him feel safe here. That he let me close enough to take this picture is sort of a break-through.

We also call him Tripodius, TP, and Hiya Handsome.
