Homer Simpson's legendary brew ...  a fine German brew (or so I am told)

Fall is here ... it's a rainy day

Il Catanese

DH and I saw this last weekend while at a local festival.  The puppet is known as "Il Catanese" and represents a citizen from Catania, Sicily,  The elephant is the symbol of the city and is a reminder of Hannabal crossing the Alps with his elephants.  The puppet is about two and a half feet tall from shoe soles to top of the feathers. 

Nice garden display ...

Saw this while out and about with DH on a drive ....
too much traffic to be able to stop for long.
