summer storm

There was hail with this storm but impossible to photograph. And then it melted too quickly after the storm passed.

brother, can you spare a ride?

Ryan likes to hop on Andy's back whenever he can. But he doesn't realize that Andy can't hold them both up and they sink. It's doesn't stop him from doing. And Andy lets him, more or less.

One more of Ryan jumping. It's more exciting that a photo of the 2 of them antagonizing each other which is the other summer time activity at our home.

I realized today that 90% of my captures are of Ryan. He was more than happy to jump over and over again for me. I got lots of great action though he is facing the other way. But I think he had too many belly flops and made himself sick today. He didn't throw up but he laid on the couch and rested!

It was such a gray and gloomy day here. Nothing to take photos of and no motivation either. So I looked back to find something with a window (I've been pretty slack with the theme but I thought I would try for the last day.) and found this one. A friend who helps out sometimes came over and left the front door open. He was here for 2 weeks not knowing how to get out and I don't touch the guys. We finally chased him through the house and out. He was pretty stunned when he was out and just stood still for about 15 minutes.
They are pretty innocuous when they get in the house. They stay out of site as much as possible and don't poop like geckos. I usually find them dead months later.
