Partly Cloudy?

The forecast for Thursday was sunny. But I noticed a large cloud a few miles away from the Lake Village area.

I am trying to get the hand of inserting images in eg so they pass on to LJ

OK, we seem to be working again

This is the post I wanted to get through to LJ

I feel like such a ninny this evening. Here I am rushing home to see the new Ken Burns The National Parks film, not even trying to get the picture of the sunrise from Fishing Bridge since the sun wasn’t going to be rising at Fishing Bridge – thanks to Arnica – and when I get home at 6:30, I found out I needn’t have rushed. See, I figured that Mystery comes on at 9 PM, so that 2-hour National Parks episode would have to start at 7. And I made it home with half an hour to spare. Then I find out that they aren’t showing Mystery tonight and that they were showing Burns’ film at 8, repeating at 10. I am such a ninny. Even if the sun wasn’t going to rise this morning, I may have been able to get some pictures of early morning in the Grand Canyon. But Arnica probably was going to bollix that too.

I hope to have some pictures of my vacation on-line shortly. I downloaded them to Elaine’s laptop and haven’t retrieved them yet. (What did you do on your vacation? I spent 5 days traipsing around in the caldera of the world’s largest active volcano! It’s really cool!)

Invasion!

We have been invaded. And they are quite annoying. as they are swarming in the house.

I am having some difficulty identifying the species. It may be a bombus frigidus, but the abdomen band coloring isn’t quite right. Mine is yellow, black, Orange,yellow, black. The thorax colors seem to match the picture. It has a black face and four wings. But the description says it is found at high elevations and we are only at 7200 feet.
