Dump Day Drive By’s

DSCF9650

I took a load of junk to the dump this morning and got drive by’s on the way home. The second photo is seagulls foraging through the trash after a bulldozer mixed it up. I couldn’t get close enough to get really clear shots of the seagulls, but they really are seagulls in the high desert, not just trash blowing around.

Morning, Noon & Almost Night

DSCF9440

Are you finding yourself well rested, and full of energy after waking up to a clock showing the time an hour later than normal? I’m not.  The photos in the series today were taken at 9:31 am, a little before noon (11:48 am) and at 7:09 pm.

When I noticed the contrails casting shadows on the clouds above them, I had to do a drive-by photo. The effect was so weird because I was heading east, the sun is still pretty far south, yet the shadows were cast on both sides of the contrails as if there were two light sources: the sun from the south and another light source from the northwest. Furthermore, for the contrails to cast shadows at all, it’s as if the sun were below the clouds. This is when things STOP making sense, you reach a DEAD END, the sun goes down, and you’re still confused.

Totally Trucked

Since I couldn’t very well fit 12 foot long sheets of corrugated roofing and other building supplies in my Mazda RX-8 (second photo), I used The Home Depot’s rental truck to bring home construction material for my “catio” re-roofing project. The truck is a big Ford Super Duty that only costs $20 for the first 75 minutes.
