Things You See on a Walk

Lily, Rose and I go out and walk every morning. First question might be this one. Why in the morning? The most important reason is that it is summer and hot as hell. I can't tell you what it has been on Tybee Island, however today was Savannah's 69th consecutive day with a high temperature for the day has been above 90 degrees. I don't usually keep track of the temperature but a few days ago when I finished walking the temperature at 9:15 was 87 with a heat index of 97. By the afternoon the heat index is about 110. The other problem is the sand street and paved streets are too hot for Lily and Rose's feet. Before we went out this morning I checked the weather radar because the forecast included rain. The radar showed rain to the west that was moving west away from the island. So out the door we went. Trying to be sensible I figured walking near home would be prudent. The farthest we would get from the house would be three quarters of a mile. The pace I walk at the worst it would be about a 12 minute walk in the rain to get home. So off we went. Sure enough at the far point of the walk it started raining. Not hard but enough. We headed for home. Before we got halfway back the rain stopped. Might as well make another lap. Same thing happened again. Before it started again I got these pictures of a rainbow over the marsh. 

We continued walking and on the next lap came across this turtle crossing Solomon Avenue. 

He or she didn't want anything to do with Rose and Lily. 

The turtle headed back to the woods and we continued on our walk.
