I took this photo on Sunday, when the temperature reached about 95° F (35° C). To make things worse, I had a photo shoot outdoors that lasted two hours. I thought I was going to die, I was so hot! (Thankfully I did bring a cooler filled with ice and water bottles.) I ran by my studio when the shoot was finished and grabbed this shot outside my building. In summer, the sun here is extra intense because of the altitude, so big trees like this are a godsend. I'll take any shade I can get.
We saw this classic downtown a few days ago and I had to stop for a photo since it reminded me of the "Greased Lightnin'" car from Grease. Of course that was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid! How could tween-aged Tamera resist John Travolta, after all? Ha!
And now, for your listening (and viewing) pleasure...
Three years ago my friend Angie and I learned that one of our old friends, Lesa, had died a while back. We don't know how or why, since neither of us had been in contact with her for a long time. We've made it a point to visit her grave every now and again, so that's what we did last Friday. Looking around Fairview Cemetery you see a lot of old headstones, and sadly many of them were babies or small children, like Miss Juanita May here. I'm glad that someone is still putting flowers on her little grave.
This nattily dressed guy was a standout on the corner of Pikes Peak and Circle a few weeks ago. I wonder where he was headed.
Spotted on Austin Bluffs Parkway yesterday: a cherry red convertible '57 Chevy Bel Air, the perfect car for summer.
