Leaves leave long shadows
Sun shining on cold concrete
Anticipation

Dawn anticipates the violence of the sun

Contrails mark the night sky as they are blown, and reshaped into apparitions.





The beaver moon shining bright, and full of itself, rises in anticipation of becoming a bloody beaver moon in the wee hours of the morning†.

The above photo is only representative of the blood moon that will happen almost 8 hours after this post’s posting.
†There will be a full eclipse of the moon in the wee hours of the morning on 11/8/22 that will be visible from my location starting at 1:00 am. The full eclipse will be at 3:59 am. The moon will set before the eclipse ends at 6:56, close to sunrise.

The sky was like this photo taken at dawn: cloudy and cold. We had light rain most of the day and the balloons did not fly.


It was as cold as hell inside on October 1st. It was colder than hell inside today, a week later.

Sasha thought we should have been running the heat on the deck today.

The clouds were breaking up at sunset, but more storm clouds were moving in.
