I went to the window to check out the night sky as I often do… and when I finished, I looked down and I saw this feline reclined on the roof of a neighbor’s truck.
I finally know who to blame for the paw prints on my car.
GOOD NIGHT, KITTY

AN HUMBERTO SUNSET
Tonight, as I was eating a late dinner, I noticed the vertical blinds go pink. As I peeked out, I saw a gorgeous sunset staring back at me, courtesy of Tropical Storm Humberto, which is churning off the coast of Galveston at the moment.
I ventured out with my camera and some of my neighbors saw me, so they came out and I told them to look at the sky and one couple started looking around for good angles to shoot from (very enthusiastically, I might add) and I followed them between the buildings and got some better shots.
As I was taking pictures, the daughter of another neighbor (early 20’s whom I’ve already met) came out and we talked as I took more pictures.
Then the colors faded quickly.
I turned to thank the neighbor couple and introduce myself, but they were already gone. I’ll have to catch them next time.
Humberto is going to go east, so we are not going to get much of the rain/flooding, for which I am grateful. The ground is saturated and we got a significant rainfall already this morning. Hopefully those who will get Humberto’s rain actually need it.
And now, it’s dark outside…
A GIRL WITH A CAMERA ON A RAINY DAY
The morning started with significant rainfall. I was awake at 8:34 and I couldn’t get back to sleep, so I got out of bed and started my ritual of Saturday cleaning. Since rent is due today, however, I delayed cleaning to walk over to the office. For some reason, I decided to take my camera with me.
It was just after 10 a.m. and though the air was still heavy and humid, a cool breeze blew as I walked. I handed in my check, went back outside and started taking pictures.
The first two are actually impressions under about 2 inches of puddle. I guess when they did some cement work, people couldn’t help themselves.
The next two shots are of runoff from the roof of one of the garage units. How I managed not to get wet is a miracle.
This last pic made me laugh. I’m not sure why… maybe it’s because I’ve done it so many times. I almost always don’t notice I’ve stepped in the mud until I slip – like this person did.

More pics from my walk this morning.
One drip.
For all the people who set their car alarms and worry about stuff being stolen, there’s always a bike just lying around.
Someone left their beverage by the curb. The guy in our complex who cleans up after such inconsiderate people was on the other side of the street watching me take pictures with a puzzled expression on his face.
And…even though fall is just around the corner, trees are still blooming.
SIMPSONIZE ME
I don’t claim to have ever watched an entire episode of The Simpsons, but I thought this site was fun.
So I Simpsonized myself and this was what I look like in Springfield.
SUNSET
The rainstorm never reached us, but it’s remnants gave us a beautiful sunset.
