Copycat clouds

Walking the hill tonight was like slogging through a steam bath. The night insects were whirring and chirping, bats were winging overhead at different altitudes (some quite low!), and unmoving shadows at the edge of the road turned out to be deer, I think. The clouds behind this house, in an otherwise mostly cloudless sky, seemed to be imitating the trees.

I head out tomorrow afternoon to Seattle. Made the reservation last month during Mom's health scare, and as that's thankfully less scary than we'd feared, the trip will be, hopefully, a more relaxed visit. 

Extra: waiting in the car during D's guitar lesson, enjoying the silence and available wi-fi. Hope you're all having a good week!
