Here There and Everywhere

Sunrise 29 May 2008

Holy Smokes – where did May go? 2008 is slipping through my fingers; I have so many plans and ideas and I don’t know how much will l really get done?

AdventureMan kept me busy and talking until I collapsed around nine last night, and did not sleep all that well. I finally gave up around 4:30 ayem and ended up getting some very Turneresque pre-dawn shots. Had to go out on the balcony to take them because my windows are all smogged with the humidity and smeared with the dust and rain from yesterday.

Going out to take a photo on the balcony requires feeding the Qatteri Cat back in his room, then running to the kitchen and shutting the door, then opening the balcony door. We know QC knows there is fresh air out that door, but we don’t want him to discover the balcony and all the dangers it represents to a logic-challenged cat.

Well, it’s not really dramatic enough for Turner but it has those dramatic elements of opalescent sky, translucent waters and hazy horizon that reminded me of Turner:

Moments later, we had sunrise:

And even some surf this morning:

We have a break in the weather today – only 109Β° instead of the 111’s and 112’s predicted for later on:

  5. Yousef! Your comment is here! I am eager to see your photos – I had a problem adjusting to the humidity fogging my lens! I promise you – my blog loves your comments. πŸ™‚

    Ansam – it is getting very scary.

    Hi, Amu! It looks a little better today, less dust, and my windows have finally cleared up!

    Thanks, Disturbed. Hope you have a great weekend.
