shadows


These fun shadows were popping up on the walls after we got over with the June Gloom.
Finally summer is here in LA.




But they will be hard to find for a while again.
We just put up curtains all over the windows so we can reduce the summer heat.

He is very nosy.


When he is not hungry he is a curious pig.

It's still gloomy and grey here and I'm so used to take pictures with a lot of light......
