Smokey evening on the beach at South Lake Tahoe, CA. The smoke is from the Creek Fire, far to the south of Tahoe. It's burned 220K acres and is 16% contained. The evening this picture was taken the smoke stayed above the basin. We weren't so lucky later in the week.
 
when she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. they wanted her to change back into what she always had been. but she had wings. // Dean Jackson

My daughter found 2 outside trying to eat wild sweet potato vine (which would probably kill them), but our naturalist neighbors provided us some milkweed cuttings, so we now have 2 foster caterpillars in our butterfly cage. The fatter one has been named Chonk, and the thinner is named Milkweed. I think they are going to make it or at least they are pooping like they are going to make it.

Chasing the scavengers away.
A day or so later than the last pic and the smoke is settling into the basin.
This is a private beach in S Lake Tahoe, only for guests of the place we stayed at. The yellow/white striped towel to the left gives security a heads-up about who should be there and who shouldn't. Still, they hand out wrist bands to guests to wear when on the grounds. We heard they chased off 300 non-guests on Saturday, the first day of the Labor Day weekend.
 
Not unless you got a lot taller and skinnier! :p

Would you like a saucer of milk to go with that catty comment? ouch

Sometimes I miss the days of when we all didn’t have phones in our pockets all the time.
I want to know what happened to device convergence - one device to replace them all... we seem to be carrying multiple devices....
