Banana Slugs

An abundant of active banana slugs were foraging through the forest during my hike.
They are native to California and the Pacific Northwest for the foggy and moist weather.
They look like a banana, but I can guess they do not taste like one although people have known to eat them cooked.

Bench in the Sky

Encountering this tree, one has many questions...
Who decided to put a bench up a tree?
Why would someone put a bench up a tree?
How does one get up there?
What does one see from that angle?
Or, is it simply considered art for passers-by to ponder from below?

The Constant Gardener

The seasons change, but this gardener does not.
He stands and toils away 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without saying a word, without a complaint, just reflecting on his environment.

Faded Memories

Only a month ago, these trees served an important purpose in someone's household.
Now, with the gifts gone and decorations removed, it is ready to be recycled.
Or, it can be re-used as a street corner display.

Where could they have been?
The weather was cold and overcast. I would have stayed home.

Dining in a Far Away Land

A restaurant in the middle of the exotic Mayan ruins?
No, but a restaurant with ambience as if you were there.
Happily, minus the mosquitoes which would not leave me alone when I was at the actual ruins.
