Pic Of The Day - 08.25.15 - "Hello Stranger!"

It rained. We went from a period of being deluged with rain to a dry period so we were due for a storm or two.

This was the view from the 4th floor of Legacy Community Health looking toward downtown as the storm approached.

It's an odd phenomenon with some of the people I work with. It rains and some people go into Chicken Little mode. Yes, I've been caught in my share of storms and flooded streets but I also try to remain calm. Maybe it's just me?

Flowers on the fence at Underbelly.

I attended a meeting at The Hay Merchant and wasn't in the mood for wine or beer so I requested a soft drink. This Coca-Cola was bottled in Mexico and is the real thing.

During the past few months, we've been working on the parking situation at Legacy's Montrose location.  One of the final touches is the planting of shrubs and trees.

There are sunsets and then there are sunsets.  I took some photos with the blinds raised but then I realized there was a better effect taking the photo with the blinds as a filter.

Burn Baby Burn

I haven't been feeling well for the past month or so.  It's all allergy/hay fever related.  I've tried various OTC meds and Saturday I switched to Zyrtec.

No one told me how groggy it would make me but the commercials are factual...it clears you up.  So...what is the point of me telling you all of this?

On Monday, I meant to take a photo of The Calvinator and me watching Dancing With The Stars but I was so out of it when I got home, I fell asleep after I walked him.  So far this year, I have missed two days of taking photos and getting something posted.

Tuesday MORE than made it for it.  You see...

There I was minding my own business at work and I happened to look out the window just a bit before 12:30p.m.  There was black smoke to the north of the building.  I commented that it looked like something was on fire on I-10 because that happens from time to time but then we realized it was much closer, the fire was getting bigger and we could actually see orange flames!

It turns out an apartment complex under construction was burning and baby was it burning.  We could hear sirens coming from all different directions and it was causing traffic gridlock all through the neighborhood.

What's fascinating about this structure, is that it was built right next to to a cemetery and there had just been a news story about it!  Coincidence?  I think not.

I can honestly say that I have never seen a fire of this magnitude.  It was almost of biblical proportions.

You can read more about it here.

Our new building is REALLY nice and isn't too far from downtown. We are in Montrose which is an eclectic neighborhood. I'm house on the fourth floor of the building and we have a great view of the downtown skyline.

I worked late and decided to play around with some of the settings on my camera to see what type of pic I could get through the glass and without a tripod. I think I did good.
