Day in the life of

It's been mostly cooler this past week with the seasons trying to move on to fall, or as much fall as we get here in Southern California.




I was going through some photos, and found a set from about two months ago, when we had this horrendous heat wave.




I had meant to post them earlier than this, but they got buried under some other things, not least of which was an internal debate as to whether or not I should post photos on this blog.




I've decided there's no real reason not to. So here they are!




This is a dead tarantula wasp. I've learned it's a good idea I didn't let the dog investigate the live ones any closer-- apparently their sting (bite?) is among the more painful insect-related experiences.




I love shadows.
