Some of you might remember that three years ago to the day, I posted Wood Dack Daze with a music video. Today, I give you Wood Ducks without a music video (I feel sighs of relief).

Ducks at dusk


The Big Dipper are 9:30 PM and 6:00 AM


Orian and company at 9:30 PM and stars at 6:00 AM

Bridge and clouds taken on my ride this evening.

A little color at sunset

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.

pTerodactyl stands vigil
Over a dying pond
Reflecting on things to come
He saw the writing on the wall

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 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
†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).
