Two sights from a stroll by the quarry park, the other day:

1) In the park next door, (Chinese) women were on an otherwise empty tennis court doing that synchronized line-dancing thing, and "Pomp and Circumstance" was blaring but their movements didn't quite synch with it, so I was left wondering if they were dancing to some music that I couldn't quite hear, and "Pomp and Circumstance" was actually coming from elsewhere.

2) As I walked up a slope, I noticed decaying milkweed pods, with red beetles here and there among the pod spines and de-petalled flowers.
