THE PINK SUNSET

I seldom see sunsets. Our house faces east. Sunsets get lost behind a neighbor's house and some of our biggest trees on the west side of the property. One night, though, the sky turned a truly lovely pink with shots of gold in the clouds -- on the east-facing side. I suppose it had to … Continue reading THE PINK SUNSET

SEVEN STRANGE RED MOONS

Seven Strange Red Moons May 15, 2022 - Marilyn and Garry find themselves in Northfield, Minnesota. There will be a full lunar eclipse this night, the last we'll see for the next 20 years. We aren't counting on living into our hundreds, so it's literally my last shot. I am perfectly positioned to take these … Continue reading SEVEN STRANGE RED MOONS

SEVEN MOONS SQUARED

Seven Moons One earth, seven moons. Sound like science fiction, doesn't it? Add that these moons are boxed in a square frame. Super science fiction!

NIGHT IN THE CITY

Humans, throughout history, have feared the dark. Our eyes are not well-adapted to seeing in low light levels and we fear what we cannot see. Our hearing is not as acute as our feline and canine companions. Nor can our sense of smell inform us what may be stalking us in the night. Almost all … Continue reading NIGHT IN THE CITY

A FULL MOON

When the moon is full I am the wolf. I know not what I do but when I return to me I carry the scent of moss and woods. Christmas night - Photo: Garry Armstrong And then, an eclipse

BEHOLD THE RED MOON IN ECLIPSE

I can get interesting pictures of the moon through the branches of trees, but a clear … Continue reading BEHOLD THE RED MOON IN ECLIPSE

THE CHANGING SEASONS – MAY 2022

The Changing Seasons, May 2022 I didn't take many pictures this month, but they all came out well. I'm getting better at limiting the number of pictures I take. I drew a lot of pictures and I think I'm making progress. I'm still trying to figure out if I can make some kind of book from … Continue reading THE CHANGING SEASONS – MAY 2022

THE RED MOON ECLIPSE

I miss all the great moons here because I can never see the sky through the trees -- even in the winter when the leaves are gone. The moon's passage is across the southern part of our sky, exactly where the tall trees are. It was a real pleasure to be able to take pictures … Continue reading THE RED MOON ECLIPSE
