Picture(s) A Day – 27 May 2009

Yes, I’m up a bit late, but it’s for a good purpose – I’ve been working on another slide show movie :wink:

Still, I owe y’all some pictures don’t I? In that case, let’s get to ‘em :)

27 May 2009 - Yes, it belongs to a girl

I saw this Jeep when I stopped at the gas station on my way to work and just had to get a picture :P

27 May 2009 - Just washed for the first time in months!

Due to lack of funding, it’s been several months since Trevor (yes, for those who don’t know I named my car after a character in a Jimmy Buffett book) has had a bath and I just couldn’t stand it anymore.

She looks so good in the sun when she’s clean 8)

27 May 2009 - Flash flood retention basin park

I’ve shown pictures of one of these before, but it was a bit different. There are quite a few flash flood retention basins around town to keep more stuff from washing away than can be helped when it rains in the monsoon season. I’ve seen over two inches of rain fall in about 30 minutes and it all has to go somewhere. I like this idea as long as no rain is forecast.

27 May 2009 - Right across the street from the park

Just across the street from the park, there’s another retention basin that hasn’t been “improved.”

27 May 2009 - Going south on Tenaya to the east of the park

And one more taken especially for Kath :mrgreen: Here’s another street in northwest Las Vegas. I think it’s pretty interesting how different all those streets can look in this diverse city :)

Here’s hoping you like these :D I’ll try to get the new slide show up soon, but I’ll also be posting the pictures which is going to take time. You see, the website can only upload and deal with up to two megabyte photos when using the blog interface. I want people to be able to see the real full size version of each picture, so I’m going to have to upload a different way and create other size versions of some of the pictures…

Anyway, I’m off to catch the late show on the backs of my eyelids.

Have a GREAT day :mrgreen:

    Have to guess that was Barbie’s Jeep. Was Ken pumping the gas? (Yes, I’m rolling my eyes at that one!!)
    And thank you for that last photo, that just looks like such a nice area.

    I’m not really sure I understand — they have elec. lights and grass and soccer goals and yet the place is supposed to fill up with water? Or the water stays outside of that and is guided somewhere else?

    • Kath,

      Barbie was pumping the gas and all alone :P

      No problemo on the last pic :wink:

      You’ve got it right the first time – the place fills up with water. They only expect this to happen every few years and it should all be OK once it dries out :)

    And I forgot to say your car looks good all clean. I am making no comment on naming it, tho. I know another blogger person that did that, too.

    Men.
