Day 15: Torrential Downpour

The rain did come, and in great amounts. It woke me up at six this morning.  I even heard a few dings on the roof, so there might have been a little bit of hail before I finally decided to crawl out of bed to take a picture or two.  It was cold by my SoCal standards, so I wouldn't be surpised if it was hail.  Tonight the snow levels are suppose to drop to 3,500 ft!

The pictures are somewhat blurry, because I turned the flash off, so as not to reflect my bedroom window.

Day 14: Chance of Light Sprinkles ~Saturday, November 20, 2010~

As predicted, the rain came, but in sprinkles.  Caught some sprinkles on my windshield.  They look like Christmas lights in the trees.

This picture was overexposed because the sun was coming out.  Beautiful blue.

Day 13: Gloom

Today was overcast with some light sprinkles in the evening.  It was cold so the birds huddled together in groups.  Even the flowers seemed gloomy.  But I am excited, for rain is on the way.

Day 12: Swiftly

After studying at MESA, I came out just in time to see the sun as it hid behind the clouds drifting swiftly overhead.   The cloud in the left hand corner reminds me of a humming bird.  I chose wide screen to capture the change in weather.

Day 11: E RESQ ~Wednesday, November 17, 2010~

Saw this Suburban on my way home from school today. At first I thought it was just owned by a firefighter, who performs emergency rescues, but then I saw the daylighters or flood lights on the front top.  Wondered if they accepted the same calls as the fire department for emergency rescues...how often and where.  I had my camera on wide screen setting because of a prior picture taken today of the school chalk board.

This picture is blurry, because I had little time to take it.  I stopped at the red left-hand turning signal and swung my camera around taking the picture without looking.  The decal on the front windshield says 'BIGOTIRES'

Day 10: Fog

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Day 9: Eyewear Launch

For the past several weeks I have been writing application essays to optometry schools.  I decided to take a break and have some fun with my old eyeglasses and sunglasses.  I plan to donate most of them.  I used my blue blanket and sliding mirror closet door as background.  I turned off my ceiling lights and used two desk lamps.  I also used a glass picture frame to add a softer light from a different angle.
