A Gathering Of Cranes
Cranes circled above the house at sunrise.
Sunset
A large gathering of cranes in the distance.
Hanging out in groups of three.
Flying To The Moon
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!”
Dam

Bloody Beaver Moon Through The Clouds
Eclipse progress at 1:54 am.
Eclipse at 3:09 am.
Bloody Beaver Moon at 3:40 am.
I could not see the full Eclipse through the clouds at 3:59 am.
On the other side of the eclipse at 5:10 am.
Close to where we started at 5:34 am:
6:01 am. That’s all folks.
Bloody Beaver Moon / Contrails Gone Wild
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 Morning After
The morning after
Unnamed souls lie under piles
of disheveled stones
El Dia de los Muertos
Spunk: “You’re going to be ‘Il paparazzo morto!’ if you do get that camera out of my face!”
Into Yawning Void
Jet fuel residue
Pierce clouds into yawning void
Begs eternity
Six Pounds Fourteen Ounces
Dawn
If you remember the post October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month where I told the story about the office baby shower for a guy, the baby was born yesterday, October 26th, on my birthday. The baby weighed in at 6 lbs 14 Oz. Congratulations, new Dad and new Mom!
Sunset. Dusk with Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter through the trees.
