The full October moon rose tonight.
Proto-dawn sky with clouds and stars Sirius is in line with Orian’s Belt.
Pre-dawn the clouds had gathered, and I surprised a skunk. I thought he might have got me a little, but when I asked our office manager if I smelled like a skunk, she said no. Although, another staff member came in a bit skunked after her dog got sprayed.

Pre-Dawn Sky
I had to take a car in for repair and go to a meeting first thing this morning, so I had to photograph the balloons on my way out of the office. Our office building is close to the balloon field.

Does anyone remember “Misty Mountain Hop” by Led Zeppelin?
Beautiful Dawn’s breath
Held the balloons on the ground
Eternal hours wait
Sun’s rays break through clouds
Shining favor on balloons
Green flag lets them fly
Up up and away
One flew under broken clouds
Crazy as it seems
Coordinated
A balloon and jet fly by
In red yellow blue
Off Center & Not Even
