The last shall be the first hoorah
Celebrating Epiphany outside in the cold
Fahrenheit plus 21 equals Celsius minus six
Jamón Iberico y queso Manchego y barras de pan
Cocido Madrileño and Spanish Chocolate
Bonfire roared under stars, planets, clouds
The last celebration of holiday cheer
The first hoorah in the new year
Christmas Eve Dawn
It’s the night before Christmas
And all through the house
The cats are all quiet and lying about
Dreaming of catnip and catching a mouse
While Blue waits for the rat in the fridge to thaw out
The birds are all ready to roost for the night
To wait for the fat guy with a beard that’s all white
Then they all looked at me round-eyed and distraught
“You’re fat with white hair and a white beard, are you not?”
I’m fat, my beard’s white, that I cannot deny
But I’m not him, I assure you, and I’ll tell you why
He’s jolly, wears red, and carries a sack
I’m a curmudgeon and cranky, and I always wear black
But before you all get your tails in a twitch
Besides old Santa, there’s La Befana, the witch
So, one or the other or both they may call
Offering peace and prosperity for one and for all
Christmas Eve Sunrise
Sheep, Glenda & Silver dreaming of catnip and catching a mouse. Well, maybe not the Sheep.
Marble: “Bah humbug! Wipe that smile off your silly face, Santa!”
Marble: “Talk to the Christmas paw!”
Silver: “Crown me the Cat of Cats!”
Silver’s bow
Silver’s bow
It’s Christmas time for the kitties
Ding-a-ling
He’s Kitty King
Tomorrow will be Christmas Day
Gwendolyn: “Hey, stupid Paparazzo! You’re not the only cranky curmudgeon wearing all black!”
Moonrise over Resa’s tree on Chrismas Eve.
Contrails spread turn into clouds
Host sun devils, then turn to gold
No matter which way you look
Cloud-like Vs cross the sky
The occasional X makes the scene
Daybreaker
Dream waker
Your colors are messing around with me.
Daybreaker
Demon slayer
Your light enables me to see.
Daymaker
Timeraker
Darkness will soon be consuming me.
I think there’s gonna be a daybreak…
I can see it in the stars…
Daybreak!
Dawn. Venus was still bright.
Reminiscent of nights gone by
Once again, riding in the dark
Eyes shine ahead
Coyotes and cows are split
By a sharp beam of light
Scamper into darkness
Only owls break the silence
As cold air rolls off the mountains
Splashing over the levee
Drenched in frigid air
Consumed by darkness
Sagebrush, cottonwood, and Jupiter rising.
Cottonwoods reach down and grab at you in the dark.
Light from a creature or spirit up ahead.
Dusk with lots of colorful particulate in the air.
Wearing red? How passé
Devil wants to devour
Resa’s Tree at dusk
A god? An Angel? The Son of Man?
Contrail connects cubist clouds.
November 2nd is Día de los Muertos. The Day of The Dead. The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. All Souls’ Day. Or whatever you want or don’t want to call it.
Like Phoenix rising
From the ashes of lost souls?
Or all souls today?
pTerodactyl stands vigil
Over a dying pond
Reflecting on things to come
He saw the writing on the wall
Lyrics and music written and performed by Timothy Price.

Writing’s On The Wall
(Daniel 5:24-28†)
By Timothy Price
[Verse]
You should beware of the words, man
As they were written by a bloodless hand
You see, if you don’t change your ways
You’ll succumb to what the inscription says
[Chorus]
‘M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin’
Oh, the writing’s on the wall
‘M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin’
It’s a prophecy of your fall
‘M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin’
God is going to end it all
‘M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin’
He won’t hear you when you call
[Bridge]
‘M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin’
‘M’ne!’ — God has counted up your kingdom
‘M’ne!’ — brought it to an end
‘T’kel’ — you’re weighed on the balance
‘T’kel’ — scale and come up short
‘P’res’ — your kingdom’s been divided given
Given — to the Medes and the Persians
[Verse]
You should beware of the words, man
As they were written by a bloodless hand

You’ll succumb to what the inscription says
[Chorus]
‘M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin’
Oh, the writing’s on the wall
‘M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin’
it’s a prophecy of your fall
‘M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin’
God is going to end it all
M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin’
He won’t hear you when you call
†24 This is why he sent the hand to write this inscription; 25 and the inscription says, ‘M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin.’ [a] 26 This is what it means: ‘M’ne!’ — God has counted up your kingdom and brought it to an end. 27 ‘T’kel’ — you are weighed on the balance-scale and come up short. 28 ‘P’res’ — your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.” (Complete Jewish Bible).
Clouds crawl in western sky
Spot the sun, orange and black
Trees try on gold, like grasses
Watch contrail over crescent moon
Watermelon colored mountains
Off Center & Not Even
