July 28th - Lucky Strike
Just happened to snap this photo at the right moment - it usually takes several hundred shots to get a strike like this!

July 26th - Afloat on a Sea of Glow
Okay so it sounds hokey, but the light from this sunset was so rich it seemed possible that these cloud puffs were actually floating in it!

This could be the soft serve cone to die for - and as my dad always said, the only real flavor is vanilla!

The way these secondary clouds flow over the top of this thunderhead reminded me of the way powder might rise from a thundering avalanche.

July 10th - Sesame Street Reverie
Mr. Snuffleupagus: Hello, Bird.
Big Bird: Snuffy? I thought I'd never see you again! I can hardly see you now.
Mr. Snuffleupagus: That is because you are imagining me, Bird.

July 5th - On the Road Again
We left a rainy Florida this morning and arrived at the Outer Banks in North Carolina in time for a beautiful sunset by the beach, and a wonderful dinner with family and friends - how good is that?

July 1st - Hagrid's Favorite
The Hippogriff is a fierce beast part horse and part eagle. It is not as well-known in modern fairy tales as the dragon or the unicorn, yet many writers have been fascinated by this unusual creature. It adds another “winged” creature to the mythical zoo of the Harry Potter books.
