Sunday sunrise

Actually I think the sunrise was from Saturday, but let’s not be picky.
Yes, on Saturday I was up in time to watch the sun rise. Hubby took me out and then he tried to talk on the ham radio satellite that went over. He made a contact – sort of. They logged him but he couldn’t catch their call sign. Oh well, it was fun.

Then we spent the whole day watching book 1 & 2 of legend of Kora. It’s good, but different. I initially wanted her to hook up with Mako. Now I’m glad they split up. I guess it shows you what happens when you get your ship.
Sunday we didn’t go anywhere, but we did get that paneling put up:

The materials

Getting started

Done for now!

Above the shower

Looks kind of Asian right now…

Gonna look sharp when it’s painted

It needs painted white and pollied still, but it’s looking good.
And now I leave you with a flower because I’m tired:

Have a good one!

A Handful of Random Iowa Photos

I thought I’d already shared these, but I guess not. They’re from our very short trip to Iowa that we took in May – we drove up and back in one day (13 hours total drive time) to visit Hubby’s grandma.  There are a couple of extras, one from the ducky pond and one I finally got uploaded from 2012 – yeah, I am slowly working through the backlog.

brown dirt!

Barrel Bob – we saw this in KC – check it out, he has a FB page

okay, this is not from Iowa, this is from the ducky pond in Bolivar – anyone know what kind of bird this is?

This is from 2012, actually – and that was something weird in the clouds. It looked that way to the naked eye, too.

Wasn’t that exciting? I am going to schedule this and maybe set up a couple more if I have time. Hubby is going to work on my website re-do over the weekend (which is probably past by now, if I have calculated correctly) so I probably won’t be on since he’ll have my laptop.

PS – seriously, if anyone knows what that bird is, or that weird cloud anomaly, I am all ears 😉

We didn’t leave until after 8pm and spent most of the drive home flirting with a thunderstorm, so….

I did not use a black and white filter on this

And that’s it! Now I am off to bed for some much needed zzz’s!

New Photos: Thunderstorm

 

I should update my website instead of scheduling blog posts. Alas, I love blogging too much! I read an article recently about eliminating time drainers that do not “forward your goals” – aka the book covers or the books, I guess – and according to it things like this blog should be eliminated to save time. They’re probably right; I could do useful stuff instead of post here. But I get the enjoyment from it, so that’s worth it to me. It can’t be all work 24/7!

Anyway, there was an awesome storm that produced some pretty good photos. It took awhile to get the focus and such right, so I didn’t get as many as I would have liked, but no need to be greedy.

storm clouds

Yeah, the camera got a little damp taking these

I like this one!

i ended up having to stand inside the house and take photos out the door for awhile

I wish the power lines weren’t in the way

this one looks silvery to me

fantastic clouds

This is my fav of the set

this one was bright!

purple clouds

Pink & Purple

Makes me think of My Little Pony. I don’t know why. I bet a psychiatrist would have fun with my weird associations.

And no, I did not adjust the color/levels/curves/etc on these. They came out purple like that and I left it because it was an awesome shade.
