While I was cooking dinner, I looked out the window and saw a porcupine lumbering by. I grabbed my camera and ran out to photograph it. The minute it heard me come out on the deck it ran to the shed and started making its way through the junk to the trees on the side of the deck. I wanted to get a good profile photo of it, but it can move really fast when it feels like it. I got a photo of it between a dolly and a box on its way to squeeze between the shelves and the wheelbarrow to get to the safety of the tress.

Since I was photographing the porcupine, Guildenstern came lumbering over to check it out. Guildenstern is a big cat, but the porcupine is about 3 times the size of Guildenstern. I grabbed Guildenstern before he got more than he bargained for and put him in the house. The porcupine climbed up in the tree.

We got a couple of downpours today. We got a really short but intense downpour at the office that produced enough rain to fill up the cover on one of our staff’s motorbike cover and knock the motor bike over. Everything was wet when I got home tonight.

We’ve been sitting out on the deck in the cool of the evening tonight listening to Marco Antonio Solis in concert at the Sandia Casino Amphitheater. I hadn’t heard anything by him before tonight.

The clouds that produced some of tonight’s thunderstorms were building up when I left the office around 5:00 this afternoon.
