Spent a few minutes outside this evening in the fading sunlight. Enjoyed seeing the crystal in this mobile throwing rainbows around and seeing a bunch of dragonflies darting around in the patch of sunlight in the next yard over.
Yesterday we went to the Dallas World Aquarium with Michael's family. We thought it would be a cool, indoor activity that would keep us out of the 100+ degree weather. Didn't realize that a good part of the place is a rain forest habitat. The many pools of water and falls looked cool, anyway.
Today I decided that I had the wrong impression about geese. I've seen some that are territorial and a bit aggressive. And, their image is not helped by them being loud and moving like flesh-eating dinosaurs do in movies. The ones we saw today just seemed to hope were bringing food. Here are a couple watching Michael's mom taking photos.
Because most of the Saturn dealerships have closed, we had to take Michael's car to a Chevy dealer for repairs last night. This one is so big it has its own cafe inside that's open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. I've never seen one with its own cafe!
The black square in the upper right corner is a sticker that says "The Tisdales." At risk of showing how out of touch I am with pop culture, I don't know who or what The Tisdales might be, but hope it's not a bad sign that they're advertised on the door of a port-a-john.
I love the curvy, squished quality of things reflected in a building with lots of individual panes of glass.
Alstromeria. I figured we needed something bright around (besides the scorching sun).
Today I had jury duty and cameras are not allowed in the court house. So, here's a photo of Old Red, the original Dallas court house, which is now a museum. I took this shot a couple of years ago when I worked nearby. The texture of the warehouse building in the foreground was always fun to observe with the shadows from the exposed beams changing throughout the day.
The shade here only hints that cool temperatures are possible. Today's high was around 105 degrees - everyone I meet is ready for fall!
No, it's not poison ivy. It's Virginia creeper. But, no, I didn't touch it.
