This is my 500th consecutive post since I moved to WordPress, and 664th consecutive post since I started Photo of the Day, Etc. in December 2010. When I add the 148 posts I wrote on CaringBridge, which started it all, I have posted 812 consecutive posts in a little over two years.

Stretch was “snaking” me on the stump this afternoon, and aliens disguised as a weather balloon were floating high above the moon — the low sun made it look like a jellyfish. I had to get out my 600 mm lens to get the photo. Louise Estes, one of the new roses we got in the spring, finally got over transplant shock and decided to bloom.  The low sun shining on the cottonwood was a nice golden yellow on the first day of Fall. The spider’s web is on the irrigation gate.
