We had a pretty good hailstorm last night.  This is out our back door.  A three photo panorama; Click it a couple of times to see it bigger; BACK to return! It really dented the Dailylife Daughter #1’s car.  It was bigger at her house. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 227

Thursday, August 18, 2016

One morning a couple of weeks ago down on the River! A Common Grackle. A Great Blue Heron. He has been hanging around down there for a while.  I have seen him a few times since this day.  He flew off through the sunrise. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 226

Thursday, August 18, 2016

Moving back to the trip to Kalispell at the beginning of the month, Toots decided to catch more grasshoppers while she was up there.  She does like to do that.  She seems to have trained this one, too! Finger up! Finger down! And of course, just a nice leaf.  Already fallen from the tree.  At […]

Day 225

Thursday, August 18, 2016

More Perseids to come!  But first, the full moonrise that wasn’t… I headed out to watch the Moon rise last night.  It was mere hours from being full! Not much was visible through the clouds and smoke on the horizon.  Then I saw a reflection in the camera… There was a quite spectacular sunset going […]

Day 224: The Perseid Meteor Shower Part 1

Friday, August 12, 2016

There is an annual event where the Earth swings through a trail of rubble left behind from a comet (there are several, actually) called the Perseid Meteor Shower.  We see this as shooting stars (meteors) for a night or two in August. From The New York Times: “The Perseids occur when Earth runs into pieces […]

Day 221

Tuesday, August 9, 2016

In a complete switch of subjects…I was digging through some stuff in the basement and found these photos.  Circa 1975-1976, probably taken on my Argus C3 Matchmatic!  I think they were photographed in or around Rossland, BC, but I am not sure. The little bike on the right is a 1972 Yamaha R5C two stroke […]
