A change in the weather?
Looks like the weather's going to change for the next week or so, highs are going to be under mid-70s, with lows in the mid-50s, some clouds almost every day, and a small chance of rain almost every day. That may not sound all that great, but I welcome some cloudy weather, and even a little rain would be nice. I can only take so many blue skies and warm sunshiny days without longing for a few clouds. Hopefully, there will be enough clouds to get some decent sunrise and sunset pictures.
Even though there's no Saguaro cactus around here, it's still deserty enough that even if it does rain it will only be an immeasurable amount that is hard to tell it even rained.
I forced myself out of bed this morning at 3:30 AM to determine if the sky was clear enough to see the Milky Way... And it wasn't. Fortunately, all it took was a glance out my door to see there wasn't a star in sight, and in a flash, I was back in bed and sleeping like I'd never left. I'll try again tonight, but the sky was getting brighter at night, and a little part of the moon is starting to show, so I don't know how much longer the Milky Way will be visible.

This poor fisherman is marooned on a deserted island, probably by pirates, or he took a three-hour tour on board the Minnow to Gilligan's Island. Either way, I find it rather odd that three electric trolling motors power his boat. And how he controls all three trolling motors at once.
Back in the day, pontoon boats went slow, really slow, but nowadays, they can get up on plane and go very fast. I'm not sure why they do that. I thought the whole idea of a pontoon boat was to amble along, making five or six knots, valuing the peace and quiet, and enjoying the ride. But everything else has changed, so why should pontoon boats be any different?
There were a few clouds in the sky this morning, not enough to make a spectacular sunrise, but sufficient to make it worth taking a picture of.
I'm beginning to enjoy getting up before sunrise. The light is often the prettiest it will be all day. Of course, that depends on my location. Most places I stay are open enough to have a nice sunrise, unlike when I'm in Denver, where houses and very large trees mostly block the sunrise.
You may notice I’m boondocked on the beach right now, not right on the shoreline, I save that for the fishermen and those who pull their boats up on shore. But camping on the beach is one of the many benefits of boondocking. I don’t have to drive around trying to find a pretty view, I just step outside my door and see this instead of 50 other RVs.
