"Wednesday, 9/21/11. When I awoke at 6:45 (without the aid of alarm) I decided to get up and then heard the soft cooing of an owl. Looking out of the window I saw two great horned owls bowing very stately to each other on the top of one of the cottonwoods..."

How lovely this "Mrs. B. R. Cant" rosebud is!

This mother spider's abdomen (including her young which completely covered her) was a full inch long. Much too big for me to squish.

Elisha and I helped the local ham radio club at a bike race--sending photos of the racers to the finish line.

It was rather slow and I especially didn't feel like I was accomplishing anything when I realized that someone could have done the same thing effortlessly without the aid of ham, via cell phone camera!

This Limousine's owner was in the race--and was served a refresher of something in a stem glass by his tuxedo apparelled chauffeur!

This young one came in a bike trailer wearing a helmet, that though very small itself looked large on her!

One of those "does my hair look all right?" photos. Ah--try, try again.

Way over-exposed.
I put it in because it was such a very relaxed Sunday afternoon.

Stars and stripes for ever!

This bleak day was fitting to capture the bleakness and despair embodied in the weather beaten and now falling apart pergola!

Enjoying the rareness of rain on the new deck!
