Same Old Stuff
I took the same old walk. Got the same old photos. The same old stuff.
Yin-Yang Kitties
Yin-yang Kitties
Curled up in a ball
Cold winter morning
Hoarfrost at the door
Purring in harmony
Dreams of catching birds
Lizards chased around the house
Leaping on a big fat mouse
Unlucky in the hunt
Wake to get a bite
Same old kitty food
Mouse Mousse would be alright
The Morning After
Dawn
Wolf Moon setting

I’m A Lobo Lunatic
A few days before Christmas, Tristan asked if I had any extra guitar cases for acoustic guitars. I had a gig bag I told her she could have. The next day she said she didn’t need the gig bag after all because the guitar they were going to give to Craig’s nephew for Christmas was broken. I told her I’d donate a guitar for them to give him for Christmas. Of course, that meant I needed to replace the guitar. A few weeks before Christmas, Marina “adopted” a wolf for us at the Wolf Conservation Center in New York as a gift. His name is Mosby. When I was looking for a replacement guitar I remembered that Luna made a Wolf guitar. I found a Luna Wolf Guitar and ordered it.
The Wolf Conservation Center sent a video of Mosby howling with two other wolves who are off-camera. I recorded music to Mosby’s howling in the video yesterday using a jazz guitar and my 7-string guitar for the rhythm guitars. As luck has it, my Luna Wolf Guitar came in today, and the full Wolf Moon rose tonight. When I got home from work, I recorded a track with the wolf guitar and replaced the jazz guitar track with the track I played on the Wolf guitar. Then I went out to the river and photographed the Wolf Moon rising.

A full view of the Luna Wolf Guitar. It has Rosewood back and sides and the collage on the top is made with Rosewood, Zebrawood, Paduk, Bird’s Eye Maple, Koa, and Flame Maple. The neck markers are the moon phases with the full moon at the 12th fret. It has Fishman electronics and a built-in tuner. It’s a really beautiful guitar. It plays well and sounds great.
Sunset
La Luna Lobo
This is the second night of the Wolf Moon the day before tomorrow night when the moon does not pass the meridian. The moon is 99.4% full tonight. A Fantasma was embracing the Wolf Moon.
Lavender Crows

Although it will be Monday before the moon does not pass the meridian, the Wolf Moon starts today. A lavender circle catches the echoes from the collective howls of wolves around the world as they become active searching for food, looking for mates, and preparing to breed under the Hunger Moon in February.

J Stands For Geese
Big-J Geese. They would make a good brand.
Coloring Between The Lines
I was thinking we were going to have a sky full of colorful clouds at sunset, but as the sun went down the clouds above the lines of clouds disappeared and most of the color was trapped under and between the lines of clouds.

Come Together… Over Me
Daddy Owl (left) and Mama Owl came together over me tonight.
The geese were really cranky this evening. They did take a break from cranking to do synchronized preening.
Mama Owl
Late afternoon to sunset.
