No Going Back

If angels dare tread
Fallen, sent, or otherwise
There’s no going back

This California Root Borer Beetle wanted to hang out in the house with us, but I was afraid we would step on him. He was not happy about me putting him back outside. He said, “But the Angels get to stay!” He had a point.

Book Release

A nice lighting storm passed through this evening. No rain. And I hope no fires.

With encouragement from all of you, I present you with my first book:

The book is an animated GIF. The pages turn slowly. Click on the GIF to enlarge it.

Spunk: “You finally did it! Hoser!”

The calm before the lightning storm.

A Challenge

While Carol showed me photos of buildings she evaluated, I noticed this image and asked about it. She explained and asked me if I could write a Timku for it. A Timku challenge? Of course!

Cat Days Of Summer

Spunk lying in the summer heat thinking about the Lovin’ Spoonful’s song Summer In The City.

Resa’s Tree making a summertime fashion statement with a three-cornered cloud hat. We started discussing three-cornered hats and Manuel de Falla’s opera El sombrero de tres picos. I told Resa’s tree that she might have been a tiny twig when Falla wrote El sombrero de tres picos in 1916-17.

If you have 40 minutes, the above video is a fun performance of El sombrero de tres picos.
