Remnants of a thunderstorm that hammered us with 0.41 inches of rain in 30 minutes yesterday afternoon. So far we have received 0.82 inches of rain this July. That is exactly 0.82 inches more rain than we got last July.
Sunday’s Sunrise
Holy Pholage of Silver and Sasha. “100% Guaranteed Performance”
Lonesome Sunflower
Glenda
Sunset
Dawn
Labored on Labor Day
And wore out the Spunk
Cleaning, organizing
And throwing out junk
Recovered the bench press
And Hung up the bikes
New Naugahyde stretched
And paw prints delight
Spunk, Silver and Glenda
Iceberg
Sunset
Ever feel like this
Withered, worn, a bloody mess
When you crash and burn
Reddish-orange clouds
Formed
East of Eden
Blue Moon rose
As
Sun slid
Below the horizon
Tucked in
For the night
Super
Blue Moon
Illuminates darkness
Awfully abstract
It does look like a painting
Those photographs lie
Do you see the cranky cloud? Saturn rose with the moon last night. You can see Saturn to the left of the moon. The moon is in the clutches of Gigi’s tree.
Moon behind a cottonwood at dawn.

Gwenyn Brodorol (Native Bee in Welsh)
This is a large native bee of some kind, but I don’t know what its name is. It’s the same size as a bumblebee, but longer, with a more greenish color. It was really working the sunflower and had pollen on its back instead of its legs. I’m seeing fewer bees as the temps are dropping at night. Leaves are starting to turn yellow and I’ve seen a few dead bumblebees on the ground.
