June in Pictures

I’ve been gone two months and come back with a chintzy photo post. Yeah, life’s like that sometimes.

We’re pretty much moved in, have net, have had the computer virus cleaned up and the laptop fixed, so now it’s just a matter of catching up and seeing to details.

Wasn’t that fun? I have some fourth of July pics to share and then I need to take the rest off of the camera – including the biggest toadstool I have ever seen!

Have fun, all!

You can cheer.

Photos: Too Smeggin’ Hot

 

It’s cooled off now, but earlier this month it was over 100 for several weeks straight. It friend our poor yard!

That’s supposed to be grass

worse was all the bugs! With no moisture they’ve run rampant this year. The cicadas are so loud that it’s deafening, and at night the bugs in the trees sound like rain on the leaves.

munched

Poor leaf

there are dead leaves everywhere!

pile of dead leaves

like skeletons

too smeggin’ hot!

This is why I dislike summer. Thanks goodness it is now on the way out!

All for now. More later. Lucky you!

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.

New Photos: Clouds, Flowers & Paper Plates

 

And it’s ANOTHER new blog. Holy crap, the world may be ending. Oh wait, that was last month. Well, so much for that. In that case I guess you’ll have to suffer through some more photos! Sorry. Okay, not really.  Gwahahahahahahaha!

cool clouds

*

pretty

*

that was just too weird

*

splat!

*

Fido looking pensive

Hideki enjoying the dog’s pillow

not too bad for using manual settings

*

dark but pretty

*

Daisies & a bee

*

I thought this was fun

*

little

a different angle

*

got up one day to find paper plates laid out in front of our building in the shape of a W…. What could it mean? *gasp*

*

it seems normal enough, but we all know it is a sinister message… avoid W’s! (hee-hee)

There should be another one pretty soon about our trip through the creek.

New Photos – Ducky Pond Take 2

 

I know. Three new blogs in a row. Time for a heart attack.

Another trip to the ducky pond, as I affectionately call Dunnigan Park.  Yes, I think everything needs nicknamed. However, I am not into really original nicknames, so it’s pretty much what they sound like.

dramatically lit swans

*

he’s peeling the bark off that poor tree!

*

I love my new camera

*

this made me think of some kind of creature from Dark Crystal…

*

hummingbird flowers?

*

it looks like a foot!

*

what *IS* this!?!?!?!

*

broken

*

dasies

*

not sure if the image is too purple or if the flowers had a tint to them… probably the first one.

*

and since I call it the ducky pond – here’s some duckies!

*

okay, not at the ducky pond. This is the tree across the street on a foggy night….

And that’s all I have for now. Alas, I must take the dog out and head to bed. Fun, fun.
