I don't usually walk in the rain, unless it's to run errands. But in this case, I wanted to get out of the house on a Friday morning. The rain was mostly done, if I recall correctly.

(You should see what happens to the avenues!) I'm not exactly sure what this decoration is supposed to be -- something from Halloween, dressed up for Christmas, that I photographed in April and posted in May. I wonder if I checked tomorrow if it'd still be there. Once I hit K...
