Paparazzo To Ground Control

Last dawn from Germany



I am sitting in the airport in Houston, waiting for my flight to Albuquerque. The flight is delayed.

Another bye from Atlas

Map showed we were flying of Dundee.

I slid up the window blind, and sure enough!

I waved at Shey and John as we flow over.

Atlas: “I’m told you’re leaving on a jet plane and won’t be coming back again?”

I’ll come back next year, Altas!

Sheesh! A Goddess can’t have any olfactory fun with Herr Gestapo-Katze around!

You are such a drama queen, Freyja!

Last Day In Dundee

Dawn

Sunrise

She will have to explain this character in a comment. She told me about him, but I’m sure I would mix it all up.

I spent a delightful last day in Dundee walking around with Shey and John. We visited St Paul’s Cathedral, a museum, and the V&A. Then I stayed in the V&A until it was time to catch the bus to Edinburgh.

St. Paul’s Cathedral

The musem had excellent history of Dundee and Scotland.

This is an old movie theater turned into a performing arts space. John said the Lone Ranger visited the theater when he was five.

Precarious tagging

The gull on the streetlight was eyeing the man’s food.

Then we walked around in the old graveyard. The oldest headstones are from the late 1700s.

A lot of the graves had fascinating stone engravings.

The V&A us a wonderful place to hang out.

The have great exhibits

I was sitting in front of a window that leans out over the water.

Beaver

A beaver swam in the shallows, while cranes were taking a break on their way north.

Beaver stopped in front of us to get a snack. He paid no attention to us.

Bloody Worm Moon Setting

Clouds tried to hold onto the Bloody Worm Moon

But it slipped through the clouds

The river is down. The cranes are out!

Sunset

What’s the mystery shot of?

Where cranes once foraged
A lone duck stood reflecting in the shallows
Silence pushed against the current
Winter yawned while preparing her bed
Spring stirred under leafy covers
Dreaming colors that wait her awakening

Bloody Worm Moon Rising

Dawn

Who might the mistery kitty be?

Beeing like spring

Mama Taratula finally got here

The Worm Moon rising.

At 4:30 tomorrow morning MDT, there will be a full, bloody eclipse of the moon. If I wake up around 4:00 a.m., I’ll go out and see what I can see of it. The moon will be close to the horizon when it is fully eclipsed at 4:30, so I might not be able to see it through the trees.

The cranes left before the worm moon rose.
