We’ve had some pretty interesting weather here lately – one week it was pretty chilly out, the next week it seemed to warm up, and then last week, it was wet and chilly out. This week, they’re predicting lows in the 30′s (whoohoo!). I love cold weather – it’s so much easier to dress for, as opposed to the Arabian summers!
These were taken last week during one of the rainstorms. They always seemed to occur during lunch time when Lonnie and I would be sitting in our car eating lunch. The power of thunder was beautiful, and I always love the cloud formations during and after the storms.
These were taken afterwards. I loved the reflection and glare from the afternoon sun on the puddles outside of my office. Along with the sunset that evening.
So, am I looking up at the sky? Or am I high above the clouds looking down at the ocean? Read the rest of this entry »
Well, I’ve reached the end of it. The last thirty days have gone by fast and I had fun thinking of different ideas for the daily challenge. Here are the last three days:
I took the above picture looking out our balcony on New Year’s Eve. It was a fairly quiet one this year, and I was in bed by about 9. Since it’s not really celebrated here (the Lunar New Year will be), it just seemed like another day.
I got this one when we were coming back from the store New Year’s Day. Mother Nature decided not to be nice that day, so we had a light dust storm that morning and overcast and windy the rest of the day.
I happened to snap the below picture when I was on my way back from lunch. I happened to look up into the sky and see these clouds which almost looked like the pinchers on a pincher bug, until I saw the base where they met. Instantly, my brain screamed, “BUCK!” And for those of you who don’t know what I mean, a buck is a male deer. No, not an elk – that would be a bull. See if you can find it…
I love his little furry butt! He had just woken up from a post-turkey nap, in which he was sprawled out on our bed, head between his front legs, passed out from the triptophene (sp?) – sleep stuff in turkey! – and had woken up as soon as I grabbed my phone. Little bugger. Oh well, his face just reminded me of the phrase, “Who dares disturb my slumber?” from the guardian of the lamp in Aladdin.
