Happy Fourth!

Here is a childhood summer favorite of mine, pineapple upside down cake, that I made to celebrate the holiday.

Mid Air Capture

I took Rion for a walk before it got too warm this morning. As I took this photo with my camera phone, a hummingbird flew up to investigate (probably because of my red shirt) then turned to fly away.

This panorama is a combination of several photos taken today with my Moto X phone camera. Google Photos stitched them together to make a panorama. I find it amazing that it made the panorama without me telling it to do so. Click on the photo to get a larger image.

Basking

For a short while the sun broke through this morning, allowing Rion to do his favorite morning activity (besides eating) of basking in the sunlight. We have all been sulking a bit because there has been so little sunshine recently. According to the weather station at the Air Force Academy, which closely resembles our micro-clime, we have had 9.7 inches of rain this May. The average amount to date is 0.32 inches.
