As of 7 a.m. yesterday, dark clouds shrouded the sky and showered raindrops across the area as it had for the prior two days. By 10 a.m. the clouds were gone, though water continued to drip from trees and eaves for some time after. But the fallen rain, as seen in the gauge above, remainedContinue reading “Rain that Remains”

Of Suds and Buds
It once was a pathetic little plant that produced little during the prior season and was soon to be replaced. One day some rather vile material found its way into its owner’s garbage can that was still by the street just after the garbage truck had come to empty its contents. The owner’s nose puckeredContinue reading “Of Suds and Buds”
Gray Day Colors
Rain slowly dampened my hair as I replaced the Valentine’s Day windsock with the Easter windsock in the back yard. The Valentine’s Day windsock was wet from the rain, so I hung it under the roof of the lanai to dry out. To my surprise, it combined with other colorful items in back to brightenContinue reading “Gray Day Colors”
Sunset Hula
The ukulele playing hula dancer swayed gently in the setting sunlight bringing a cheery ending to a nice, bright day. #hula #ukulele #solar #sunlight
Say What?
In grade school I once read a story about a man who invented a dishwasher that would start and stop to verbal commands. Unfortunately, it was too rough on the dishes, and it was a bit dyslexic and wouldn’t stop until someone accidentally shouted “pots” instead of “stop.” He and his wife were left toContinue reading “Say What?”
Déjà Vu Again and Again!
Which photo is before and which is after? Actually they are both; these scenes will alternate over and over as further leaves fall over the next couple of weeks. Weird, just plain weird. #leaves #driveway
Valentine and Valley Girl
Many years ago Fairy and I spent Valentine’s Day Weekend in a lovely, small hotel in San Francisco. A little brown bear was doing a summersault on our bed when we entered the room, and of course, he just had to come home with us. Yes, he was for sale, and it appeared that manyContinue reading “Valentine and Valley Girl”
Seedy Character
One tree in our neighborhood has gone to seed and has attracted a band of squirrels that cling, dangle, and jump from branch to branch. Sometimes hanging from their hind legs, they reach for the most remote seeds, and occasionally end up sliding down precariously to the tip of the smallest branches, barely avoiding falling.Continue reading “Seedy Character”
Dawn Knots
The fish seem startled by the blue, knotted string of glass illuminated by the rising sun that was only recently injected between them. Are they looking for a morsel of food hiding in the maze of glass, or are they just trying discover its meaning? I wonder, if given enough time, its significance will finallyContinue reading “Dawn Knots”
Looking Down the Gunbarrel
I took these images yesterday with close ups of active region 3576 which is one of the largest spot groups to have formed in the past few years. Nearly 100,000 miles across, it is in the central part of the sun and has intense, tangled magnetic fields which hold enough energy to produce a massiveContinue reading “Looking Down the Gunbarrel”
