Typhoon Ma-on (#6) & Beyond . . .

We lucked out Monday night & were able to make it to our anniversary dinner. This photo is about noon Tuesday (7/19) from my BR balcony - the wind was blowing VERY strong today. The planes are all gone or put away & cloud cover is very heavy, but STILL no rain to speak of - just a little mist . . .


I thought the colors of the sky were BEAUTIFUL Tuesday night!


Wednesday we had a little rain and still some wind, so I drove to the gym for my water workout. Found this cicada resting on the front balcony on a strap used to tie down some of my large planters. I thought I had been hearing them outside in the trees before the typhoon.


He's really holding on . . .


By Thursday, everything was back to normal - planes were back outside. Sky is blue with some fluffy white clouds and temp is cooler - so I'm back on my bike!


And to the right - the "floating" island is still where it belongs in the Seto Inland Sea . . . and the terminal building further to the right above the jets.


Looking toward the left, I see a large ship coming or going from our port.


And further left still - just above the bowling alley, you can see all the cranes - building something where the Mac Dome used to be.


Oh - look at that cool plane flying above! Japanese, I think . . .
