Frosted Flake

Timothy Price39 Comments

Venus, the Moon, and I rose at the same time this morning.

Twenty-four degrees
I stood out in my skivvies
Like a frosted flake

Venus and the Moon shapeshifted through the glass.

The various crescents are moonlight fractured by condensation on the glass. Venus made some mean-looking faces.

Back to normal

Lower left to top: Orion, Kiss Flying-V, and The Pleiades. Top right: Jupiter.

Brad mentioned seeing The Pleiades in yesterday’s photo meant Orion was not far behind. I’ve taken many photos with Orion in them recently, but I haven’t posted Orion in a while.

Hooteluja!

Dawn

Sunset on Sandias

While taking the above photo of the Sandias in red, I heard a buzzing noise. I turned to see what it was and three paragliders were flying my way.

Moon and contrail at dusk

While I was photographing the moon and contrail, I heard an owl hooting close by. I investigated further and there was an owl perched on the edge of the nest I hung in Susan’s tree in August 2022. Hooteluja! Hooteluja! Hooooteluuuja!

It was dark, and I had to use 15x digital zoom on my phone’s camera, so I couldn’t tell if it was daddy owl. It could be one for the owlets from a few years ago out house shopping. Whichever owl it is, it’s a good sign to see an owl perched on the edge of the nest.
