Contrail Cross
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
Looks like Latin!
Smells like Latin!
Feels like Latin!
But it’s all Greek to me!
The cheese line.

Parallel contrail at dawn
Contrails on the way to the office.
The Moon being chased by a contrail’s shadow.
Stars and clouds
Sun split by heavy contrail.

Orion
Orion, Kiss Flying-V, and The Pleiades
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.
I think there’s gonna be a daybreak…
I can see it in the stars…
Daybreak!

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).
