Last Sunday these clouds were hanging out over the house.

I like the way the strands of cloud seem like they have been smudged by some giant who tried to use an eraser on them. The smudges are virga falling from the tightly-space waves.

I saw this from the Walmart parking lot.

I couldn’t get what first caught my eye because even my iPhone’s wide angle lens was not wide enough. What I wanted to show was a sky-wide field of clouds that looked like those at the top and bottom of the shot, separated by the thin, wispy clouds in the middle. But this shot was dramatic enough on its own. The blue sky looks like it has been photoshopped, but this shot is exactly as it came from the phone.

We are in the midst of some uncertainties here, so I’m not sure what kind of posting I’ll be able to do — maybe none in the immediate future. I hope things get enough better that posting can resume before too awful long.

Everyone knows there’s a Web site devoted to every possible subject. I learned a few days ago that there’s one devoted to old barber shops when the owner contacted me asking for permission to use some of the photos from my post about the Forrest Barber Shop. Of course I was happy to give him permission to use it, and he did. The site is an interesting glimpse into an old, nearly forgotten world.

Dusty likes to lie out in the sun near the end of the driveway. Sometimes he’s hard to see. This time he chose the flower bed.

The flowers haven’t bloomed yet, but two of the yuccas have flower stalks.

Smokey got into it with our hedgehog cat toy a few nights ago. He’s ready to start it up again here.

He’s our most playful cat. I think he was tired here, because he had already thrashed the hedgehog for a while. I wish I could have got him in action because he does go bonkers.
