Sunrise, Clouds, and Planes

Early morning clouds
 Pink clouds to the west.
 7:10 a.m. Plane leaving (and clouds about).
 Straight up overhead clouds.
 7:20 Plane around the clouds.
 Sunrise. . . Sun rays.
 7:45 Plane around clouds.
 Sunrise is so beautiful amongst the clouds.
 I hear you . . . .
 . . .and I see you.
Blessings,
Janet

Moon and clouds

Moon 82 percent full last night.
 Clouds overtake it.
 Trying to come back out.
 Going in and out of the clouds all evening.
Blessings,

Clouds and some Blue Sky

Looking east lots of clouds.
 Looking west more clouds.
This will keep us warm (if they stay around) tonight. It has been 47-52 at night and barely 70 (67 yesterday).  I think it will be warming up some.
Reading THE BOOKSELLER by Mark Pryor (his first in the Hugo Marston series). I prefer to read an author's first book all the way through.
Blessings,
Janet

Ibis in the Backyard


 I saw them fly in and hurried to take the picture.
 They are getting the bugs.
 We had a bit of rain. . . .
 . . . .however, they do this after grass cutting too.
Close up.

Blue Sky, Cloud, Shadows and Birds

Perhaps a few clouds in the south!
 Two hawks in the East.
 Blue sky and one hawk in the West.
 Shadows (you know I love shadows and reflections).
 The two trees causing the two shadows.
 Oh, Wait. . . . .ONE lonely cloud in the North Bright Blue Sky.
Blessings,
Janet
One of my favorite authors quote. . .Bird By Bird my favorite and the first book I read that showed me the how/why I could write.
Oh My God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75 and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen. ~ Anne Lamott

Clouds and Blue Sky no astroid seen

North, South, West, East



Not knowing which direction or where, I didn't see the Astroid from any direction.

Nature. . . .Cactus

Large Blue Agave Cactus Plant

My girlfriend's husband has a huge backyard full of great plants, water, flowers, lights. This cactus is in his front yard. He definitely has a green thumb.  He could be a nursery/plant/decor consultant very easily.
Blessings,
Janet

Sunrise, Clouds, Plane and Squirrel

Sunrise gave a bit of color this morning. Very Very windy.
 Clouds are beginning to fade it out and . . .
 . . .cover it over. . .just a bit of pink left.
 Storm coming from northwest and clouds are rolling here.
 Plane amongst the clouds.
 Bit of sunlight.
 Squirrel getting ready of impending cold fronts. . . 40s.
 A poser.
 Another posed pic.

 He's taking his nut back to the tree 'house?'
I took these yesterday without knowing today is their day.

Shopping, Clouds and Birds. . . Flowers


Sun is snoozing. . .lots of clouds.
 70 percent off. . .I found a marvelous black church dress.

Milk is $2.99 a gallon on Tuesdays this month.
 When I arrived home, the birds were circling. . .

 Another neighbor has beautiful Hibiscus.
