I've been meaning to write of late, but time is conspiring against me. Well, it's actually a toss up. The lack of time available versus the distraction of pain.
Do I have time available? Why yes I do. Each of us could squeeze in dozens or hundreds or perhaps even thousands of words per day if we really put our minds to it (and if we weren't in the midst of a horrible PEM session!). And I have been writing, now and again. But looking back on the past couple of weeks, my writing is negatively enhanced…. or perhaps, positively detracted?
So what I will do instead is post pictures I have taken in and around the nursing home property. The idea is that you will come to know where it is I spend most of my outdoor time. Is it important that you know this? Not at all. But a certain percentage of you can't get out and about on your own. And perhaps you're curious what Arizona looks like, the way I see it. My neck of the woods. Why not, right?
Please feel free to ask questions. When questions are asked, I often get down to brass tacks. Or perhaps brass cufflinks. Supplies are limited. Intentions are good.
Much, most, and many of these pictures will involve clouds. Clouds help give perspective. I think. At least for me they do. Plus I love their ever-changing shapes and sizes within the realm of three-dimensionality.
Rainbow Clouds (close proximity storm) Facing East - super picturesque thunderheads nearly above me
My Pedestrian Crossing - facing northwest
Green Stuff Grows - if you guessed that all the greenery is unusual, you would be correct... we've had nearly 5 in of rain in the past 2 months! 8.40 inches is our normal yearly tally > facing west-northwest
Crash Pole Night Splash -
19,000° of Illumination - facing due west > this particular storm occurred during a shift change, so I had many staff members hanging out and watching along with me in front of the building.
A Parking Lot Less Paved - facing west-northwest around the back of the building
Remnants - facing west southwest > one of the storage units was destroyed by a severe monsoon season thunderstorm
Green Growth - facing west northwest > nope, that's not grass in the foreground, just weird green stuff that'll die within the next 30 days and become brown
Palm Spies in The Skies - facing south
Look at Me, I'm Black and White - back parking lot facing east
Reflection 3 -
I Represent - facing west southwest
Puddle Plus - facing south-southeast >
Canopy Orange'd - facing due west
Building (obscured by a cloudscape) - facing south, where I dwell
I hope these pictures are worth a thousand words. Or at least 736 words. The economy here ain't what it used to be. At least, that's what they tell me.
Thank you for checking in.
Take care,
Howard
