Last night presented one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen from this house. I took a lot of photographs, but none do it justice. For one thing, the photos show up a lot of yellow glow but miss the gorgeous blue in the sky.
A couple of evenings ago, before sunset, I happened to look out the front door and saw a huge red ball in the sky. I'm sure it was the sun, but I've never seen it that color or that big, so I grabbed my camera and took a couple of photos. I was so disappointed that the sun didn't even show up on the photos. I was telling some people about it and one suggested it might have been a UFO. Could be, but from what I've heard you don't see the "UFO" until you look at your photo and there it is! This would have been the other way around.
I watch the sunset every day, and have to close the vertical blinds a little so that I don't have the sun glaring in my eyes, and I'm sure the sun is in a much different location by the time it comes into my view. This was in the same general direction, but much more to one side than it usually is. It no doubt has something to do with the smoke in the skies, although I honestly don't smell smoke lately. I think the winds blew it to the north, and we can breathe easy again.
I realized after I had gawked at the sun for a while and taken several pictures of it, that I had no eye protection! Here I am with macular degeneration which is surely worsened by the sunlight, and I'm looking straight at it!
- A Gentle Rain
I'm so happy that we had several hours today of a nice gentle rain, with more expected tomorrow. High today and tomorrow - 55 degrees, so I've been sitting in front of the heater for a big part of the day. I'm having a problem with iPhoto...
- Puzzle Finished!
I stuck with it and finally finished it this afternoon. I'll leave it up to admire my work for another day, and will take it apart and put it away tomorrow. I have another one waiting to be assembled - the picture includes the Golden Gate...

I don't have much to say because I've been in the house listening to all the rain pouring down. One more day of rain, then about a week of sunshine before the next storm system moves in. I hope they don't try to tell me that no...

All I've done today was laundry, 2 loads, which is easy enough except for having to carry it back and forth across the street to the dryer. It's heavy when it's wet! I will have another load to do tomorrow if I manage to get the...

Malvarrosa Beach at sunset Yesterday evening I had a magic moment, just me and the sunset... After the exams I thought of going for a relaxing walk on the beach. Little did I know there was a strike and that I would have to wait for the metro...
