149.6 Ghost Cloud

Look at this scary ghost cloud I photographed in the Spokane Valley sky yesterday! It looks just like one of the ghosts in the movie "Ghost Busters!" If you don't see it, the head is at 7 o'clock on the sun, facing left with a nose and an open mouth. The ghost's right hand is at the far left of the photo. The ghost's right hand is at 4 o'clock on the sun. The ghost's body is all the black clouds that go back into the distance. Isn't it scary and cool! (Read this if you don't know what I mean about 7 o'clock on the sun.)

I went a little overboard on my eating yesterday and gained 1.2 pounds, but I am still within my weight-loss goal of 145 to 149.9 pounds. I walked the dogs a mile in the park, and I shopped at Costco. Here is what I ate:

Small bowl of Special K and organic soy milk
Maple bar and frosted nutty cinnamon roll at fellowship before church

Church luncheon send-off for a missionary:
Turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich on a bun
4 potato chips
Half a cup of potato salad
2 scoops of Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream (Yum! Blue Bunny is the best ice cream ever!)
Oatmeal cookie

Bean and cheese burrito with salsa
Custard dish of peanut M&Ms
Cup of corn tortilla chips

149.0 Bright Cloud Pineapple Spokane

 I know. I know. I am obsessed with clouds. More like with photographing clouds. I just had to pull over and snap this yesterday on my way home from buying Washington Fuji apples at Wal-mart. This is the sun shining through a cloud and suffusing it with rainbows. It cast rainbow bits around it, too. You can see a rainbow bit on the right edge, where I have cropped the photo. See it? See the rainbow in the stem of what looks like a bright cloud pineapple?

Of course, this was even more magnificent in real life. The naked eye sees rainbows better than the camera, I think. And it was constantly changing. At first, the rainbows showed up in the bottom of the pineapple. The locals here in Spokane make fun of me for paying so much attention to the clouds, but man, I can't help it. This place has the most beautiful cloud phenomena I have ever seen, almost every day.

I lost .4 pounds yesterday, eating Papa John's pizza -- just not very much of it. We walked the dogs a mile in the park. Here is everything I ate yesterday and lost .4 pounds:

Small bowl of Special K and organic soy milk
Sliced Fuji apple candied with 4 tablespoons chunky peanut butter and 36 dark chocolate chips
Bean and cheese burrito with salsa
Leftover baked chicken and carrots with half a can of Amy's organic lentil soup
1/4 dinner plate of Papa John's pizza, "The Works"
