Pink morning...

Sometimes you're looking for the shot...

...and sometimes you are the shot.
Mouseover for "...and sometimes you are the shot."

The Thursday Threesome...

Onesome: World-- Okay, you've been here; you've been there. ...or maybe not. Is there someplace you think it would be cool to spend a holiday? Christmas in the Alps? St. Patrick's Day in Erie? Oh, sure, take the entire family if you'd like! Hmmm... We're talking about Christmas at Disneyland one of these years; but I'm thinking if it were that holiday I'd rather maybe see palm trees done up in Christmas lights!

Twosome: Weary-- Have you ever had to deal with jet lag? How have you handled it? ...and which direction is worse for you, going East or going West? Just curious... Well, I don't get out much, and I don't recall that either end of our Hawai'i honeymoon trip posed much of a problem. ...but I do remember coming back to California from a two day business trip to Toledo to find my tail totally kicked. ...and sleeping for an entire day!

Threesome: Traveler-- When you've traveled, what conveyance has bothered you the most? That camel in Morocco? The train ride through the Rockies? Your brother-in-law's Dodge? What just set your nerves on edge? Hmmm... Remembering that Hawai'i trip... Yeah, there was a Zodiac ride into some 'shark cave' that was a bit wilder than either of us had anticipated!

Hey, are you going anywhere? Let us know, over on The Back Porch...

Night blooms...

Miniature daffodils lit by a street lamp...

I figure if they're blooming out of season, why not?

The rains are here...

Quiet, steady soaking rains...

The ecomony here is agriculture based...

Rains, with snowfall in the mountians...

...and we use power to pull from the aquifer to irrigate.

Rains perhaps as we haven't seen in several years...

It's time for a little recharge for the system....

Rains that may let us do without for a little longer next year...
