Water Drops

On Friday, there was a lightning strike not too far from us, near the Air Force Academy.  Here is a helicopter which made some water drops on Saturday near the tree that was burning. (You may have to click on the photo to see the helicopter.)

July Sunrise Wishes

Even though words fail at a time like this, I offer my condolences to those who lost loved ones to the horrific violence that occurred in Aurora Colorado yesterday.  I hope those that were injured recover quickly, and that those who witnessed the terror find peace.

Rion and Toys

When Lily the Golden Retriever joined our household, I had to put dog toys out of reach because she would destroy them and possibly swallow the remains.  I didn’t feel too sorry for Rion because he viewed Lily as his toy.

Now that Lily is gone, Rion is making due with second best.  His attempts to turn Lightning the Sheltie into a toy have not been successful.
