A photo comment on our wet weather this summer. We have had so much rain recently I have taken it as a personal challenge to take a picture of the rain falling down. In this picture you can see it coming down at about a 45 degree angle. The background of the blue garage door and side of the truck show the driving rain. By the way today is a beautiful sunny day.
And secondly our handsome black cat Shakey.

Hi Shakey, how's it going? Like the rain?
Bonjour Jim. Shakey is a Quebecois chat. Born in the St. Henri district of Montreal. He meows in francais. Shakey says "Non"! to your question.

How about small creature shadows? Small creatures throw big shadows! a lowly small slug throws a big shadow! and butterflies are always beautiful to me,and so are their shadows! Yesterday a Question Mark or a Comma butterfly. I'm not sure which it is.

When Shakey was first introduced to his new home he was a pretty scared little kitten. He was trembling,shaking all over. My son, who was Shakey's first owner, named him "Shakey" due to his behaviour. My husband, a previous high school English teacher, has decided that Shakey is a nickname for "Shakespeare". My grandchildren call him "Pepper Shaker" after a ceramic black cat pepper shaker they have. We all love him no matter what we call him.
Thanks for asking.

Thank you for sharing your story Fred Ann.. I asked because my maiden name is Shake.. and you can only imagine what knicknames I had over the years, and when we moved to Utah where Shakespeare is common surname, everyone thought we had changed ours....Even tho' I have been married now for 37 years to Mr Olvera, my brother-in-law who knew me for five years before I married his brother - still calls me "shaker".. fun connections..

Since I could not sleep (been up since 3:30 am) I'll go ahead and post then go make a fresh pot of coffee...or maybe not - the smell of coffee brewing always wakes everyone up...maybe I'll roll down to the donut shop and get a cup..... so here are my "freestyle" shots for the day.
My homage to the mass transit - bumper to bumper southbound traffic out of Las Vegas, glad I'm going the other way!
And, this is how beautiful the high desert can be on a nice cloudy day
Okay JB, these next two are for you....first my Grandfather and Grandmother in their courting days.
