Late is Late
July was supposed to be the month to see the comet Neowise. Unfortunately, between the evening thunderstorms and the clouds that occluded the stars at dawn, I didn’t get a chance to venture out and look for this occasional visitor until it had gone around the sun and headed back to the world of Pluto… Continue reading Late is Late
Farewell to a Decade
I am a little late posting this, but if you know me, it’s not unusual. At times anyway. It’s time to say goodbye to the second decade of the millennium. Not just to the years that have gone by, but to the people who now live only in our hearts and in our dreams. Their… Continue reading Farewell to a Decade
Moments
I walk out of my front door to get the phone from my car and I look up The crescent moon shines brightly in the quickly darkening sky Twilight receding, stars ascending and in front of me Stands mighty Orion, with Rigel’s light blazing forth And to one side sits Canopus, with the brightest star… Continue reading Moments
Meeting before Dawn
I totally forgot that the moon, Jupiter and Venus were going to be in conjunction in the waning days of January. It was not until morning, near sunrise, as I was taking the trash out, that I looked up in the brightening sky and saw the moon and Venus. It was seven degrees and I… Continue reading Meeting before Dawn
On a cold, cold, cold January Night
A Blood Wolf Super Moon was in view for vast swats of North America. Did I mention that it was cold? I wanted to set up the camera on a tripod but it was just a little bit too cold. It was quite an interesting site, even in the suburbs. Fortunately, the moon was almost… Continue reading On a cold, cold, cold January Night
Alive
When the sun closes it’s eyes And the moon gazes on a world Bathed in the warmth of the fading day It casts its gentle glow And the world finally sleeps And a million dreams fill the sky With little points of starlight Hearts beat in unison Pulsing with the joys of the day And… Continue reading Alive
The Blue Super Moon (missed out on the eclipse part)
Two of three isn’t bad, but the missing part made this event special. In the early morning of the last day in January, the second full moon of the month was setting. The eclipse – well, that was for other people to see. This is a composite image of two different images. The first image… Continue reading The Blue Super Moon (missed out on the eclipse part)
Trying New Things
Sometimes, you are bereft of ideas. What to write. What to photograph. In times like these, you might as well try to do something different. Experiment. It may not result in a great photograph or award winning prose. Still, to try and fail is a lot better than to sit around and doing nothing. Here… Continue reading Trying New Things
August 21, 2017 Anno Domini
My wife likes the beach. Every year, around her birthday, we plan a trip to the beach. This year, the beach trip was almost certainly (and did not) happen. For the first time in decades, a total solar eclipse was going to be visible over large swats of the continental United States. When I first… Continue reading August 21, 2017 Anno Domini
