Twilight
Big Dipper
Jake watching the river bank
Walked further south and found another portal to the river.
Views after passing through the new portal
A bit of fungi along the way
Jake back to bank watch
Prickly Pear living on the edge
Tree is barely holding on.
Spunk Art
Spunk was in a drawer when I got home this afternoon.
Sunset
Cranes flew by sliver moon
A contrail graced the sky in morning darkness
Hung over Venus, under Orion
Persisted through twilight
Stretched, twisted, and morphed into dawn
Birthed contrails at sunrise
Contrail conspiracies are made of these
Cranes roosting in the shallows at twilight
Jake at south beach
Cranes
I doubt this tree will be standing tomorrow morning
Through the portal once again. This is closer to how dark it is when I walk through, spirits clawing at my jacket as I pass through.
Geese in the distance in view of the expanding contrail.
Back at south beach

Spunk: “Whoa! Those contrails are scary!”
Not a cloud or contrail in the sky at sunset.

The river has finally brought the water table up, and there is water in the clear water ditch again.

Jake enjoying the sunrise
“I say, I say there! You’re bothering me boy!”
Flicker
Spunk: “Flicker, you say?”
Taboo
Bowie waiting for us
Bowie was playing with Jake’s tail. Jake didn’t care. He was looking for a handout.

Storm clouds
Wet rose
Burning bush
Taboo
Marina’s Incognito Pear Tree is confused with putting on red leaves for fall and blooming at the same time.
Sunshine and rain at the same time
Spunk
The river running high from the rain
Glenda: “Whoa! That’s a lot of water!”
Rain and shine on the Rio Grande
Doppel: “Lovely light, il Paparazzo! I like looking at it in photos instead of real time in the rain.”
Jake contemplating the rising river
Dawn patrol
Spunk: “Those mice are full of hot air!”
“So is il Paparazzo!”
Doppel: “That’s not a mouse!”
“But it’s cute like my green stuffies!”
“Would those balloons pop if I clawed them?”
Loki: “I’m barred from the balloons!”
“We’s all barred, Bubba!
Twilight
The dawn patrol was up and down quickly. The balloons didn’t fly this morning because the winds were too high.
