Saturday Critters in July 2015

During the week, while photographing the moon, I also took snaps of our patio, garages and driveway at night. 
The security lights above the four garages. The patio remains damp in the shade of the buildings during winter
The security lights lining our driveway and beyond the gate

The driveway lights have a story to tell: at least the second one (center of the photo). On my birthday in February one of the guests (no names, no pack drill!) reversed up my drive instead of driving out normally. Her left-side mirror connected this light, ripping it from the stand and tripping the electricity! Totally unaware, she continued, turned in the street, waved and drove off. Needless to say, Grant wasn't impressed!

Last week Grant and I were on our way to town. As he reached onto the consul for the gate remote,  it wasn't there. He stopped the car, tried his jeans pocket. Still no remote. He opened the door and smashed his door into the same lamp! He was furious! A scratch and dent which - although quite small - has to be repaired at no small cost!
