The Bookshelf of Roy G. Biv

The Roy G. Biv challenge proved especially difficult given my colorblindness.

I flat-out annoyed K to no end asking “is this indigo?” and “is this violet?”

Most of the time they weren’t; but she helped my finally get it right.

I present to you the bookshelf of Roy G. Biv:

Roy G Biv Books

For the record, the Pretty Little Liars book is K’s.

Does it matter?

I guess not.

This week I stayed inside and tried to beat the 100+ heat index.

However, I did go out earlier in the week and take some photographs.

These were inspired by DM Shepherd’s Ghost Sign:

I did some tutoring at the school this week; tree removal has begun:

Smokey begged for the venison I cooked up:

What did I make?

Venison Alfredo and Venison Sloppy Joe.

My sister-in-law needed her battery changed:

This sunset caught my eye:

These little guys and girls reminded me to make way for ducklings:

An ever-present reminder of hurricane season:

Science Friday favorited and retweeted one of my tweets!

Is there anything emptier than a classroom during summer break?

I spent quite a bit of time waiting this week:

 

Concrete Drawbridge

 

 

 

I waited at this bridge four times in one day – four times!

Stopped at Train Tracks

 

 

 

 

Stopped at the railroad tracks with the only alternate route blocked.

At least I got a good view!

Crow at Lunchtime

 

 

This crow waited for me to drop some of my lunch.

I didn’t.

Neither did K.

 

Turtle 2

 

 

This turtle waited to cross the road.

I helped him out a few days later in an extreme downpour.

Smokey Waiting

 

 

 

 

 

Smokey waited for K to come home after an 11-hour shift.

Yard Trimmings 2

 

 

 

 

I did some yard work; now I’m waiting for the city to remove this pile of yard trimmings.

Yes, I checked to make sure they would pick it up.

They’ll get to it . . . eventually.

There’s less now; this visitor beat them to it.
Nothing like a free buffet!

 

On the other hand, there are two things I no longer have to wait for:

 

Internet Install

 

 

This cable brings me high-speed internet
in my own home.

Now I can stream Netflix and Pandora without using my cell phone data.

I can also stream podcasts without using cell phone data or taking up space on my cell phone.

Space I need for photos.

 

 

Clogged Sink

 
 

After pulling all this gunk out of my sink, I can measure the drain time with a stopwatch instead of a sundial or hourglass.

 
 
 
 

I even took a video:

I Saw the Sign

I noticed this illuminated glass sign while out practicing my night photography:

 

Omarks at Night

 

Now, I know I see color differently than everyone else, but nothing else I saw this week was more vivid than this sign and the bright lights against the black city streets.

 

With all this talk of signs, how can you not think of this:

Sunday Snapshots

So, what did I do this week – apart from editing PowerPoints, creating projects, and working on next school year in general? Well, I . . .

Attended the North Carolina Symphony:

 

Sadly, they skipped Sibelius’ Valse Triste, Op. 44.

Which made me sad.

My wife says angry.

I say sad.

Enjoyed reading in the hammock by the water at my in-laws:

 

Treated myself to a few inexpensive indulgences:

 

I got my donut on National Donut Day; did you?

Assuming, of course, that you live in a country where it’s observed.

I know the United States and Australia do,

does anyone else?

 

That calzone cost less than $5

The ingredients are bought fresh and the dough is made in-house.

Add a sweet tea, and there’s lunch for under $6

So much better than fast food!

Practiced my night photography:

 

Right after I photographed the spider, a small insect flew into the net. I tried taking a picture of the spider as it attacked its prey, but it didn’t turn out at all. If I hadn’t seen it happening, I wouldn’t know what I was looking at.

I actually took one more night shot, but I’m holding off on sharing it; it may show up for the Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Vivid.
