Pardon me?

 I am about to embark on getting hearing aids! Once I got over the concept that I was getting older, it turns out to be easier than I thought. AND, found out that my insurance covers most of the cost! I had been told that my company would NOT cover, so was surprised and happy to find out we can save $$ by changing where I get the hearing aids.

So I won't have to continually say "Pardon me?"

Clouds along the Waimea river on Kauai.

I don't know who owns this horse, but it is pretty. 

Two Stilts at the beach. 

Apparently, this Stilt cannot read the warnings.

She was doze-y...wanting to fall asleep but not miss anything.

She is a very pretty Boxer girl.

Moorhen. Perhaps awaiting rain; normally the bird would be standing in running water. But we are in somewhat of a drought.

Rain next to Niihau.

I am glad to have my base pass back; that 1st year really raced by!

Thanks for reading. I am approaching 900 count on my meteors, so it is exciting for me. Even if it is messing with my sleep!

Are you Sirius?

 I actually heard myself looking up at a star and saying "Are you Sirius?" Of course, it made me smile. And also understand why people sometimes have difficulty learning English! So many spoken words can be spelled differently and with totally different meanings. Think about a cloudbank. A place where you take your clouds to deposit them? Perhaps in Heavenly Savings bank? And because I heard the ocean this morning while star gazing, oceanhear rather than oceanview. Maybe taking things too far.

But I broke an important barrier this week: 806 meteor sightings! It seems like a lot, doesn't it? And there are some other Meteor Showers (now there's a picture: stepping into a shower and being bombarded by meteors) coming up before the end of the year, so here's hoping.

No pics though; my camera isn't zoned for catching many astronomical things.  The Moon was up and clouds, so things combined for the stars to show.

I am definitely entranced with pink clouds. It helps when they have cool designs too.

God's rays

And pretty shaped clouds

We used to see rolled hay bales when we lived in Texas. 

It is sometimes easier to add a cloud to the Moon...

A gardener near me has mad skills with roses. Of course, it helps that God made them to begin with!

Two light poles and the Moon

If featured in the Orsay, I would call it Nuage avec oiseau (cloud with bird.)

Nene on the wing

There is always a powerline to get in the way..

but God's rays shine through

I love these flowers, even if I can't get into the yard to snap the photo.

Talk about mad skills...lovely orchids

The bees LOVE this fluffy growth at the top.

Surveying her domain.

Jupiter and the Moon. Moon diameter is 2,159.2 miles. Jupiter is 86,881 miles. But being closer, the Moon looks much larger!

Oddly shaped clouds

One of the loose dogs. We worry because they can prey on the birds.

Another one. They can roam around a lot, as there are fields nearby.

Jupiter and Moon

I liked this cactus against the sky.

I agree with this sentiment. 

"Why did he go and leave the box of treats behind?!"

"No, really! I want to know!"

Well, the meteor time is coming up. Time to sleep so I can awaken by 1:30!! Thank you for reading. Now, get on out and enjoy the skies!
