First in a possible series of photos taken while driving.

Double rainbow

Not-so-rare sight on the way to last night's Diana Krall concert at The Shell in Waikiki. The second, lighter, rainbow is to the left of the main one, with its colors inverted.

Centipede

Found this 5-inch monster in my washroom this morning, barely alive. Rocky probably beat it up, but I drowned it in bug spray, just in case.

White snakes

I was going through old pics I'd taken and came across a favorite. Not because it's a great shot (they were behind glass in a darkened room), but anyone who knows me knows I love snakes and these two are so cute!

This old cat

Took this shot today as Rocky sniffed around the garage. The sepia effect makes him look kinda spooky.

Lazy Sunday afternoon

We should all hang out in the shade of a mango tree once in a while

Dinosaur catch & release program

Rocky finally caught one today!

view slide show

By the time I raced over with my camera, Rocky already had the dinosaur in his mouth. Luckily for it, Rocky hardly has any teeth and dropped it when I told him to. The poor dinosaur was stunned and wasn't moving quickly, so Rocky was able to step on it again until I blocked him. Eventually it made its getaway when Rocky was distracted by some nearby grass. He seems to prefer grass over anything else.

A really hot car

My friend Willy took these pictures as a car unexpectedly burst into flames. He said there was no collision, and fortunately, no one was hurt. Check out the tire in the last frame.

Rocky goes on a dinosaur hunt

..but fails, for now

Rocky Raccoon was out on one of his closely-supervised excursions in the yard, and I actually had my camera with me. I spotted several dinosaurs, and Rocky spotted this one as well -- from way across the yard. By the time he bounded to the tree it scampered up, with Rocky in semi-lukewarm pursuit. To his credit, Rocky was able to find his way down the tree without much difficulty, but the dinosaur escaped to live another day. (Picture is blurry due to improper camera setting.)

If Rocky had caught it, I would have made him release it. I can't stand when he kills "my" lizards, I don't even like when he flattens the many crickets that manage to find their silly ways into the house. Cockroaches are another story, but those stories are too gross to tell here :P

Dinosaurs in the yard

Seemingly hundreds of them!

This is one of the ugly dinosaurs that have taken over our yard and killed off our beautiful green anole lizards.
