I had a full and busy day, but severe storm warnings are popping everywhere as the heat and humidity return. Ian McRae is coming over to challenge me with chess, and he is getting better by the week (but don’t tell him I said that). The young get cocky at times.
We have fun yelling at each other.
I ordered a pizza for us while we played. Maria will be out visiting friends for dinner. I’m getting my flowers up early as the storms approach. We have a good chance of losing power again tonight. See you in the morning, if not sooner.
I was speaking to the sky.

The power of dreams.
Through the darkness.
Love the mix of colors and textures in this photo batch Jon.
Also I didn’t know about the severe weather warning for later – Good thing I read your blog! 😀
love that last black and white flower photo…..as you know (from previous commenting) how much I love black and white. It’s spectacular! And…..Ian, a chess game (or two) and pizza? What could be a more enjoyable evening? I am fairly certain a new poem or two might be read also!

I love your flower pictures! They inspire me to stop and take more time to appreciate the world around me. I am stopping to look more closely and take more photos. I’m learning to look for more details which means I need to slow down and stop rushing through my day so quickly. Thank you.
Thank you, Pat…
