These little guys, Antelope Squirrels, are new babies, fresh from the nest. They've been romping in the back yard (not of my house, though it would be fun watching the dogs go crazy) for the past few days; learning the layout, the easiest escape routes, and just how close they can get to the sliding door before the cat launches herself at the glass. The sudden 'clunk' usually freaks them out just a bit.

Rumors are flying today the we may actually get thunderstorms soon. I find it hard to believe, but just the notion had me thinking of my favorite time of year - monsoons, with the incredible storms and stunning sunsets. Woot!

PS: This photo was taken by the point and shoot method (well a little more went into it than that, like there was a lot of point and shot that resulted in mostly photos of black sky 'cuz I wasn't fast enough) meaning: the camera was not on a tripod and the timed exposure setting was not used.

I have been fairly successful keeping up with the photo for the day on the cult blog. Mainly because with the number of greyhound photos I have in the archives, there is a constant source of material. I thought to parlay the concept over to this blog as well. Not the dog photos, just the photo for the day thing. So for the maiden voyage in this test run: a remembrance from the recent trip to Phoenix. The abundance of flowers in my father's subdivision drove me to distraction. Apparently I didn't look too threatening so no one called the police on the crazy woman stalking the shrubs.
