What a difference 2 minutes makes.
Under doctors orders, I have scaled back my ‘exercise’ from visiting National Parks (that are as flat as a pancake) to walking around the neighborhood here in Chandler or the many gigantic bookstores in Phoenix. Fortunately, if you go out at the right time there is still lots to see. The next photo was taken just around the corner from my house:
And only two minutes later, mother nature changed the lighting:
Pretty amazing show. This has been happening most mornings for the past week here in Chandler. The lingering clouds from the previous day’s monsoon activity form a high layer of cover that is illuminated from below just as the sun breaks the horizon. A few days ago the effect was even more spectacular, but when I raised my camera to snap the photo I was reminded that the battery was sitting in it’s charger! (Those of you who are often out at this time know that walking back into the house would have been futile. These early morning light shows are VERY fleeting) Sometimes I really miss my old celluloid SLR.

I know. I know. I am impossible to get a hold of. I have been on the road a lot. I haven’t talked to too many people lately, and if you aren’t in my poker crowd, then I probably haven’t chatted at all.
Nice scar. How long is that bad boy? A year from now, you won’t be able to tell that it is there. They closed it up nicely.

You’re lucky I’m not in your poker crowd, otherwise you would be out a lot more money. You could try answering your cell phone once in a while.
My scar is only about 1 inch long. Yes, it’s closing up nicely now. There was a short period when it opened up to let out some ooze, that was kind of gross as the pictures attest to.
