Frosted Flake
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
Venus and the Moon at dawn.
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.
Déjà Foo
Moon rising behind clouds
The persistence of “the same as it ever was” is alive and well. Photos of night-time, the moon, planets, dawn, sunset, and dusk prevail. It’s déjà foo† all over again. And again. And again. And again…

Night Rider
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.
