Water-logged or sun-dried, this hibiscus is one of my favorite sights of the day.

Licks
Observing the burning off the hugely overgrown lot next door was a bit like viewing burning tea leaves. I saw a woman in a turban riding a giant frog among a hundred other images over the three nights it took to complete the burn. What do you see? Yes, it did get scary. And very very smoky. I especially like the shot of the LED lights on the plants next to my pool with the glow from the burn behind them.

Signs of the Times
Cee’s challenge this week was for storefront signs. Here are a few I’ve been saving for a special occasion that seem to fit as well as some I’ve very recently taken. Lately I’ve been lucking out on the prompts. It seems as soon as I take a number of photos of a certain topic, the prompt the next day fits it to a “T.” Thanks for reading my mind this time, Cee. These will look better if you click on them to enlarge them. The guy in the big snowdrift is my dad after the big snow of ’53.

“Buds” Flowers of the Day, July 1, 2016
This is one of the flower boxes at the Budweiser Brewery in Ft. Collins, CO that we toured today. The clydesdales were out on tour, but the flowers were present and out in full force. These were my favorites, but elsewhere there were day lilies, alyssum, cannas, roses and a number of other flowers.

Clouds: No Step? No Problem!!
Thanks for the one word prompt “Clouds” today, WordPress! Guess who got a window seat on her flight between Guadalajara and Phoenix yesterday and took 206 photos of clouds? The ride, especially the landing, was bumpy but well worth it!

My Life with Cats
I was walking by my friend Isidro’s studio/gallery one day when I saw these little paws sticking out from under his door. Very shortly thereafter, this little boy came by and the rest of the story took place. So touching. He knew right where to stick his finger in the kitty’s underside of his paw to bring obvious pleasure to his friend. Had to add a shot of my kitty Annie as well..waiting on the wall to be fed. I think more photos will follow, but I have to catch a plane now..See you later.

Timely Tourism
How handy that the prompt for today is “tourist” just as I am starting out on three weeks of travel. Do you think WordPress has spies? Here is what I see as I spin around on my stool at Johnny Rocket’s (Juan Pablo Hamburgers here) in the Guadalajara airport, right by my departure gate, where I’ve just tried to choke down 130 pesos worth of undercooked fries. (Two nights ago I spent 150 pesos for a gourmet meal and margarita at Viva Mexico in San Juan Cosala.)
So, after two weeks of exhausting preparations to get ready, here I am ready for a few weeks of leisure. Every year it takes me longer to get ready to leave, either because my life gets more complicated or because I get slower. My internet was out again today, so I’m availing myself of airport wifi to post this. More to come if I can find wifi in any of the U.S. airports. Denver bound!
