The future is in the cloud
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Future.’ See more responses here.
These days, our photos and videos are in the cloud, our music is in the cloud, our backups are in the cloud, our records and files are in the cloud. One day, it’s virtually certain, we will end up in the cloud too, which will be a good thing, as it will give Earth a chance to recover from everything we’ve done to it!
It’s a sign
Back in the days when a friend and I used to brew beer, we’d buy bottled beer to drink, and save the empties for our home brews. Heineken beer was one of those, but we learned that Heineken bottles were made with fairly thin glass. We found this out when our home brew caused them to explode! The fact that we kept the bottles in our wardrobes meant that our work attire often smelled of beer, which is not recommended for career advancement.
This way and that
A couple of A’ama Crabs, the one much bigger than the other, skitter past each other in the wave-washed shallows. Meanwhile, the Helmet Urchins were going nowhere.
We’re going down

The bees are back
The Mock Orange next to the house is in full bloom and the bees have found it, though not in the numbers they used to. In the past, I would hear the bees before seeing them. Still, it’s always a pleasure to watch them industriously flitting from flower to flower, collecting pollen and nectar.
