Did you know there was an entire island dedicated to dogs in Ellicott Creek Park? It's paradise and definitely the highlight of Niagara Falls Blvd (it's at Creekside Drive on the west side).

I walked around while (e:Paul) was at his doctor's appointment, even though I had no dog with me. There are all these WPA era structures from it being the first county park, including a crumbling castle of a boat house. It's very well treed too and I didn't see any dog suprises on the ground ? .

(e:paul), (e:terry) and I went for a long walk today. The weather was perfect.

Feeding the beast before we went.



The mushrooms on this tree on Ferry Street are going to town. Surprisingly the tree seems very alive.



While we walked down Elmwood, they had a daytime trick or treat going on. I notice there's a lot more of these things going on and not many night trick or treaters. Are parents really too scared to take their kids at night?

The worst I've heard is "trunk or treating" where you go to a parking lot and go from trunk to trunk for candy. If my parents ever made us do that growing up I think I would have died.

Notice for a lost dog ;(


On the way back we met up with (e:mike) and went to the bougie smoothie place next to the fancy salad place. It was good but very overpriced.

We walked down to Allen Street - look at this art inside the hoarder store. (e:xandra), that rear painting is meant for you.
