Not a cloud in the sky

Contrails, Stripes, Cool Colors
Cranes in a fly-by. The cranes started flying over at high altitude last week.
We haven’t seen the Tangle Heart Tree in a while.

Flic
Sunset on leaves
A Flic in French is a Cop in English. Is a Copper in English a Flicker in French?
Huh?
“That is really lame!” So said a lone duck
Orange Duck Blue
Hey Mr. Flicker! You’re no duck of any color!
No Fly
Hey! What do you think you’re doing? The balloon officials said we are not supposed to fly this morning.
Even though it was a no-fly morning, this King Fisher went flying by.

Taboo
Bunny Log
Hare date 8-15 in the blessed year of our mother goddess Freyja two-thousand twenty-two. The human who walks around shooting everyone with a Bazooka was trying to irrigate. After the water that came flooding in, and forced me out of my culvert, stopped, the bazooka-wielding Paparazzo walked out to the Acequia Madre and discovered the water had stopped running in the mother ditch. Word had it that the giant diesel pumps up north that fill the Acequia Madre from the Rio Grande went south, so now il Paparazzo has to finish irrigating in the wee hours of the morning under the crescent smile of Máni.
¡Adios muchachos y muchachas!
Cracked Sky
The moon and Jupiter in a cracked sky
Amy Rose at Heaven On Earth commented: “So it seems you are becoming one who is hooked on astronomy.” I answered: “I’m always photographing the sky these days. That’s one of the most interesting things in my limited travels…” Since we moved out of downtown that was a longer commute and there were always photo opportunities, and since we presented papers at conferences remotely because of covid restrictions, almost all of my photography is from our property, the bosque, and the river. That includes a lot of sky photos day and night. Fortunately, we have interesting skies that are rarely the same, and the moon, planets, and stars are always changing positions and providing interesting challenges.
