La ti da! Da ti la!
Henry! Henrieta!
Kiss me, you fool!
Now that the cranes are showing up, I’ll have to take the Bazooka out to capture them.

Wile E. Coyote has a hangdog look in the first photo when he was on the ditch by our gate. He crossed the Clearwater ditch, ran up onto the top of the levee near where I was, and looked a little less hangdog.

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.

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.
