Had a big storm here earlier this evening.
It left some standing water in the alley.

SUBJECT: Bored hawk and an upset swallow
The swallow was not happy that Mr. Hawk is hanging around.
It was flying around the larger bird, sometimes making contact.
The hawk didn’t move from its perch for quite some time.

SUBJECT: “Security Cameras In Use” sign
I wonder if the security camera in use was taking a picture of me while I was taking a picture of the security cameras in use sign? It seems like it would be a vicious circle.

SUBJECT: Power lines and clouds
MonkeyBoy had another game this afternoon. It was much warmer on the field today (low 90’s). He played goalie for the first half, then as a defender for the last. They won 8-0. On the way to the air-conditioned car, MB told me that he like being goalie better than fullback. I think that was because it had to be brutal running up and down the field in this heat.
I objurgate the centipede,
A bug we do not really need.
At sleepy-time he beats a path
Straight to the bedroom or the bath.
You always wallop where he's not,
Or, if he is, he makes a spot.

SUBJECT: Light Pole
This is my second attempt at taking a picture of the light pole at the Little League fields. I was not happy with this one that I took at StellaDella's ball game on May 9th. In fact, I will be the first to admit that it was rather boring. I think this one is just a titch more interesting. I'm definately getting a centipede-like vibe from it due to the climbing pegs. BTW, MB's team ended up losing tonight's game, by 6 runs.
