A Persistence of Contrails

Timothy Price6 Comments

A contrail graced the sky in morning darkness
Hung over Venus, under Orion
Persisted through twilight
Stretched, twisted, and morphed into dawn
Birthed contrails at sunrise
Contrail conspiracies are made of these

Cranes roosting in the shallows at twilight

Jake at south beach

Cranes

I doubt this tree will be standing tomorrow morning

Through the portal once again. This is closer to how dark it is when I walk through, spirits clawing at my jacket as I pass through.

Geese in the distance in view of the expanding contrail.

Back at south beach

Spunk: “Whoa! Those contrails are scary!”

Not a cloud or contrail in the sky at sunset.

Walking In A River Wonderland

Orion

The Pleiades

Venus and I believe Spica is below Venus

Twilight

A tangled portal I had to duck through to get to the river south of South Beach

When I got the the river I found a lone duck being carried along by the current

Canadian Geese found a shallow spot

The trail that was is not; now it drops off into the river.

A glide by

Cranes on the east bank by what was the South Beach

Similar view of the Rio Grande from the South Beach in July and tonight. Where I was standing in July has been washed away. The south bank has been cut further south by about 20 feet since October 29th, the last time I was down there.

There were trees and about 20 feet of riverbank on the left side of the trail on October 29th. I don’t think the trail will be there tomorrow morning.

Sunrise Fog

Cranes flew under a balloon just before sunrise.

Light fog while the sun was thinking about rising.

Portal to The Beach

Big sun rising behind the fog

We scared a small flock of ducks.

Brad wanted to know where that mud was. Jake has been walking through the mini mud bog every morning all week.

The sorry, silver-haired Sasquatch, wetback road crew

The sorry, silver-haired Sasquatch, wetback road crew worked on the top part of the road all morning. Being the same as it ever was, folks who live on Cinco Milagros, but have to cross my culvert and drive on 30 feet on my road to get to their houses, don’t stop and thank me for working on the culvert so it doesn’t collapse from the rain. When I wave at them, they don’t wave back; they drive on by in their Mercedes and BMWs, and scowl at me like I’m some aged, hired hand, illegal laborer stinking up the crossing.

Glenda: “I appreciate you working on the culvert, because I know if it collapsed, you wouldn’t be able to go out and get me food!”

Laure got this pic of Silver curled up in the cushions on the deck.

Sacked out, Sliver. He wore himself out being curled up in the cushions.

Not a cloud in the sky tonight.

Muddy Morning

Clear skies over head at twilight

Venus

Muddy morning after rain
Puddle jumping in the dark
Waited for sliver moon
To rise under Venus
Clouds like mountains
Hid the moon

Clear skies at sunset

El Vato playing

Jake was ready to go home after he rolled in wet grass.

And Yet Another Dawn and Dusk

Moon and Venus over Sandias and Rio Grande at dawn

Foggy

The river has finally brought the water table up, and there is water in the clear water ditch again.

Jake got caught by the skeeter net again.

Sunset

Yurtle the Turtle was foraging where I stand to take photos when the river isn’t running so high.

Spunk made a SpunkArt installation while we were on our sunset walk with Jake.

View Of Venus

Venus @ dawn

Moon and Juper aligned.

Venus again

Can you find the owl in the above photo?

And yet another shot of Venus!

Colorful dawn sans clouds

I normally stand on the island on the left for some of my early morning shots.

Random intermission

Cranes

Flaming dusk

Persistent Glow

At dawn, the river had risen more from rainfall during the night and early morning.

Clear skies looking south at a volcano.

Sunrise

Sunset

A big tree floated by

Long after the sun had set, there was a persistent glow.
