Tickles Jake’s Fancy

Pre-dawn

Venus

Tuumbleweeds hardened
Walking levees at twilight
Tickles Jake’s fancy

Dawn

Puddles on the paths

Still dawn

Spunk

Almost sunset

With the rains comes the need to repair the culvert that we use to drive over the drainage ditch. I went into my one-man chain gang mode and filled in the holes caused by the rainwater ponding on the culvert. I paused to take a few photos as the sun was setting.

Sunset

Rain

Started the day with some purple rain

Which turned the river red

A dark, rainy day required extra light and a bird

Loki napped during a mid-morning rain shower

Dark, cloudy and rainy all day

I’m not giving you two pennies for your thoughts about il paparazzo, loki and Silver

Mirroring

Belafonte giving il paprazzo the beak

Jake was happy to lick whipped cream off the beater

Silver captivated by The Tale Of Princess Fatima, Warrior Woman.

Coyote Dawn

Resa’s Wolf Tree and Venus at dawn.

When Jake and I went out for a walk at dawn, the first critters we encountered when we walked out onto the ditch bank were a couple of coyotes.

Harvest Supermoon on its way to setting.

Sandias and geese in the mist again.

Balloons on the rise

Clouds splashing over the sandias eventually brought rain. We have 2/10 of an inch so far.

We got a rainbow at sunset

Sandias were still socked in

The clouds split for a moment at sunset

Bird In Hand

Dawn

I did not see any balloons this morning. I believe it was too windy. It’s been windy all day.

How does the saying go? “A bird in the hand…”

“…is worth two in a fight?”

Tycho Kitty is lying on the floor, contemplating Jake.

German candle powered fan

Spunk Art in blue

Spunk Art unplugged? Or, perhaps, Spunk plugging his art?

Almost to the Harvest Supermoon

Jake’s interest in the sunset tonight
