Full Moon behind clouds and Resa’s Tree
I tried to get the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet the last few nights. It should have been in the top third, just right of center, but I could only see a few stars and wormy-looking clouds.
Letting sleeping cats lie
We’ve had a lot of wind the past few days—ripply water on the Rio Grande.

Late breaking news. As Tristan was leaving tonight, she noticed “fireworks” to the north of us. The fireworks were the wind blowing the neighbor’s tree branches in the powerlines, causing them to arc. I called the fire department, and they sent three fire trucks to check it out. The wind died down by the time the fire department arrived, so they didn’t get to see the show, but they could see where the branches had been arcing on the powerlines. The power company is supposed to come out after they finish restoring a power outage and trim back the branches.
Off Center & Not Even 
Magnificent.
Thanks, Shey.
Wonderful skies….and beautiful cats sleeping with their toy. Lots of excitement with the fire brigade coming out…..what more could you want?:)
It got really windy, and the buzzing, popping, and light show from the power lines woke me up. The power went out. I called the power company to report the power outage at 1:30 am, and they came out at 7:30, trimmed the branches, and got our power back on. There were a lot of power outages around the city from the wind. It’s still winding this morning. The only good thing about this is we got a good rain. Thanks, Janet.
Rain, wonderful rain…..that’s a good bonus..
Tonight might have been my lone chance to see the comet,but it was too late by the time I realized there was no fog.
Lovely views!
Too bad. Thanks, Leenda.
Being a pareidolianist as you know, Tim, I took ages to get beyond the first picture. The cloud-shark was most impressive.
Lots to see there. Thanks, Inchy.
During a bad ice storm, a falling branch brought down a power line and and sparked a fire that burned someone’s garage to the ground. The house was scorched, but the fire department saved it from further damage. Very scary stuff.
Wow, glad the fire didn’t get worse, wind and fire and not a good combination!
We lost power at 1:30 am from powerlines arcing. Lots of excitement. Thanks, Tiffany
Great photos and scary electrical lines.
We finally lost power from the arcing. Thanks, Gigi.
Blah. Hope it isn’t out very long. 🤞🏻
Electricity was restored at 7:30 am.
Okay, I thought, I still got some Comet left, but it’s running out.
Wrong!
I’ll just let the sleeping cats lie, and slip into your gorgeous sunset over my tree!
Arcing sounds really dangerous. I’ve never seen it.
Okay, I need to go do something mundane, like sewing! xx
I’m happy you thought of Comet. I was thinking about both. Thanks, Resa. Mundane is better than excitement from electrical hazards. Spunk had to hit the cheese this morning from the shock of it all.
Interesting. We both had kitchen sink cleanser on our minds. Hmmm….. I should go do dishes!
Lol… Was this Spunki-Poo’s 💋 first time hitting the cheese?
We both do a lot of dishes.
Yes…another thing we have in common.
To bad cats can’t be trained to do dishes. xx
Spunk offered to spray the dishes for me, but I told him that wouldn’t help.
It was the first time he asked me to uncover the cheese so he could eat it. He had nibbled at the cheese when it was already uncovered before.
I’ve seen arcing here once in a tree across the street. It was some show and blew a transformer.
Which kitty is using Spunk’s behind as a pillow?
Skies, Sandias and river look as serene and beautiful as always.
Thanks, Lavinia. Spunk doesn’t usually eat cheese.
Ya’ll have had too much of the wrong kind of excitement lately. Safe journeys to Tristain. I hope she loves it. Hugs.
PS: Loved the sleeping kitties. LOL, whenever I see cats or dogs sleeping in that position, I can’t help thinking that there will be a fart.
It makes you wonder.
Thanks, Teagan.
Dangerous stuff, those power arcs! Good thing Tristan noticed them and you called the authorities. Isn’t that always the way? The activity ceases when those who can fix arrive!
Love the photos.
That’s how it happens. Then it starts again when they leave. Thanks, Dale.
Of course
So dangerous! Glad they came out.
Thanks, Dawn.
We didn’t do that well on the northern lights earlier in the month, but we did manage to see and photograph the comet which was pretty cool – out here in the country we didn’t have a lot of lights interfering with the show. Trees and powerlines can be a scary combination. In our specific area we are a bit lucky as they buried all the lines.
I got the northern lights, but I never did see the comet. There are lots of old overhead powerlines around here that were installed under the rural electrification act. Thanks, Brian.
oh those clouds behind Resa’s tree are amazing, Tim and the sleeping cats… while you worked to keep all of you safe. Hope they come back to fix it all❣️. Scary❣️❣️
Thanks, Cindy
You are the sky man! Great shots Tim .. beautiful kitties! Those trees on the lines doesn’t sound good!
The lines in the tree ware not good. Thanks,
