Thanks for looking and commenting.
Naegleria fowleri came to mind because of its particular nasty mode of entry
thorugh the nose eating through the cribiform plate and the
resultant chaos. While at a meeting in Las Vegas, I drove into the dessert to
try and photograph some petroglyphs, and came across
skull and crossbone signs with "Naeglaria" on them besides some shallow
springs. It seems some of these signs are ignored by swimmers on ocassion. The
case fatality rate is over 95%. Should you be in search of expanding your
repertoire of gruesome maladies to use, don't hesitate to ask. ;-)
Glad to be of service, Mike

I see no animosity in those dolls, Mike :-)
But thanks for my new knowledge of yet another horrible disease. Since I work
with a number of military doctors in the Centre of Aviation Medicine now, it is
always useful to have a long and complicated disease at my fingertips – to
throw into the conversation at an opportune moment.
The chap on the bench is rather saddening; the landscape with lighthouse very
cheering.

Many more to go through but here are a few:
Marnie spotted this in a store in Pescadero. The smirks were
disturbing--Imagined that would be their expression after one of them squirted
Naeglaria ( also known as the "brain-eating amoeba") up one's nose and thus
doomed to a horrible death from primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. Mebbe
it's just me.

Inspired by Nathan and Tiny, I tried this one.

First use of a new diminutive longer zoom besides brick wall shots to be sure
my copy was OK.
Moose drove us by a great number of very nice spots. Here is one.
