Heard “PokPokPok” right above my head. Looked up to see this lovely fella going about his business.

Morning
This morning’s sky was breathtaking. Do you see that light teal on the lower right of the picture above? (It’s hard to see in an image this small.) The entire sky was that color, only more so. I ran back into the house for my phone but it just wouldn’t capture all the color. I don’t know why, but I won’t easily forget that gorgeous color, splashed across the heavens.
I bet people waiting for the bus just beyond the fence wondered who yelled “Wow!” for five straight minutes. 😉
Sky
Thank goodness we live on a corner lot or I’d miss so much, including amazing sunsets! It was truly lovely.
Brilliance
I thought the Everglades were on fire last night, the sunset was so brilliant!
…and a full view.
It was amazing. These might be the best of the pictures but who knows, I took so many.
And all I had to do was walk out my back door. Wow.
Weed Haven
The yard guys are obviously running behind, but I delight in the weeds. Never one to worry over or demand grassy perfection, I’m happy as long as it’s green.
When it grows out this long I plop down amongst the blue, violet and yellow. The bees work purposefully around me, from flower to flower, unconcerned by my presence or that of the dogs. Serenity!
EDIT!
That was February, this is June.
There are some weeds left, but I pulled so many by hand. No chemicals around the dogs!
Sunrise
This morning before sunrise the east was ablaze with bright yellow which became orange. Brilliant transformation!
This picture shows the real deal, even my fence (which my neighbor broke) and another neighbor’s house.
Hope it doesn’t rain; I’m planning kabobs on the grill for dinner.
Sunset
Isn’t it irritating when you witness a breathtaking sunset but can’t really capture the stunning beauty of it all? Me too.
Hitch
I noticed a little hitchhiker on my dash while driving home from Home Depot yesterday.
He posed for a picture and then I tried to capture him with my used mask to return him to the wild.. as one does.
Not having any part of it, the little hellion ran across the dash and lunged at me, landing on the top of the steering wheel. At eye level!
I didn’t wait to take another picture, preferring to flee my own vehicle instead. Good luck, little Hitch.
