Cranes cackling up a storm.
As the cranes fly in they start cackling like crazy after they land. I don’t know if they are cursing at each other or calling each other names, because they started to fight.
A Craneku
Jumping up and down
Wings spread insults said they fight
Part of the routine

Does anyone remember Silly Putty? Is that stuff still around? We have Silly Kitties. Some of their positions are pretty putty-like.

I got this case out to measure the inside dimensions to see if a travel guitar will fit inside it. Sasha claimed the case the moment I opened it. Glenda was not too sure about Sasha appropriating the case. Is this a case of a cat casing a case? In case you are wondering, yes, a travel guitar will fit inside the case.
When I walked out of a store at sunset, the sky was wild over the Sandias. On my way home the sky was very distracting. I stopped several times facing icy winds, crossing busy streets, and getting stickers in my socks to photograph the quickly changing wild sky.
Contrail hangs below
Whispy ghosts that dance and play
Peril waits on winds
Cranes specks in the sky
Freezing cottonwoods shiver
Dawn spreads light’s colors
Sun sets behind wire
Orange glow fades out of reach
Thoughts gone asunder
2 Cormorants Flying Into The Sun
Two Cormorants flew
Into the sun at sunset
Turned them into gold
Clouds at sunrise after rain in the night.
Pink snow on the Sandias at sunset.

🎶I rearranged my office and put up a Mac Museum!🎶 After a staff member retired, I was able to rearrange my office, gather up some of our old Macintosh computers along with other vintage Apple devices, and use the green corner where my desk used to be to make a little Mac Museum.
View of the green corner my desk used to be in. I used old aluminum case Mac Pros for the shelf supports. I also ordered a small conference table to fill out the open space in the middle of the office.
I removed a desk and shelves from this corner of my office, put my desk there, and hung photos on the walls.

I searched our storage unit and my infinite shed of doom and came up with various vintage monitors, Macs, and Apple devices

iMac G4 from 2002.
A G4 Mac Mini from 2005, and an aluminum case 23-inch Cinema Display from 2005.

Cranes circled above the house at sunrise.
Sunset
A large gathering of cranes in the distance.
Hanging out in groups of three.
A crane flew to the moon one night
A silhouette against the cool light
Icarus flew close to the sun
He burned his wings, fell back to earth
The crane asked the broken man
“Why oh why are you such a fool? Men are not meant to fly!
Why oh why try to fly to the sun when by and by…”
The crane said with a heavy sigh
“…you know that you will surely die!”
