Hurricane Rita

On Sunday, I spent quite a bit of time trying to get reflection photos while the Guys looked at the Smart cars on the roof of the old Bay Building parkade. This is one of the ones I like the best. On Douglas Street shooting through the pillars to the reflection on the other side of the street.

I got the grass mowed and fallen apples raked up. Filled the water gardens and did a bit of weeding. The weather has been sunny and warm.

Today the news is full of warnings for the people along the Gulf of Mexico to evacuate their coastal homes as there is another powerfull tropical storm/hurricane on its way. People have left their homes and are crawling along the roads trying to head North, and are getting caught in traffic jams. The storm is expected to hit the Galveston - New Orleans area (again) on Friday. I have found a few news sources to read on the web. This one is full of information http://www.wlox.com/Global/story.asp?S=3885374 I have found another place to see web cams... the web cam for Galveston was under repair. http://www.hurricaneadvisories.com/hcancam.html

Last nite I managed to get my Gardening - May album loaded to my page. 14 MB, with 56 pictures it is one of the largest, since I reduced Long Beach in size. The Fall and Winter months won't be so large and so it should all even out. I can buy more space so this is not a big concern. http://www.mmmee.com/May

Bruce phoned this morning to thank me for the prints of the truck. He really likes them! woo hoo!! He just made my day. He said he is hanging the truck picture in his office. oh boy!!
