    499 sunset0235 blog

     

    If you notice, there is a flock of geese against the sunset sky,

    heading, South.

    They seem to be ahead of schedule, but they know better than I do,

    when to move to warmer climes.

     

    (I thought they were turned around and going North,

    but it was me who was turned around, often confusing North and South.

    I know, with the ocean right behind me…DUH!)

     

     

     

    This is the sunset photograph under the "499" from last week.

    Here is the Surfer shot that was superimposed over this photo. It is a little fuzzy, as the shutter speed was slow, 1/5th second!

    The guys were sweet, giving me the thumbs up as they realized that their picture was being taken.

    This is an example of a very good use of time and space,

    and two chairs and an umbrella.

    Somebody peel me..

     

    Sometimes, you just feel like that…

    Lying back and taking it easy while someone waits on you…

    Ahhhhhh…

    Music, that strange juxtaposition of sounds – melodies and harmonies and syncopations - 

    is as ephemeral as the wind.

     

    Bette Davis once said that music was the one thing that she could not live without.

     

    It's a kind of magic  soup that is cooked up by wizards of many stripes - 

    from geniuses to crickets and frogs!

     

    The young band pictured here is certainly making some fine music.

    Can't you just hear it?

    Harvest Moon…

    not so big and orange as one might expect,

    but plenty of brilliant white light,

    and it may have ushered in the first night of sleeping

    with the windows open,

    all night long!

     

    What's in your harvest for this summer, nearly gone?

    Change is in the air…

     

     

     

    St. Augustine Beach, Full Moon, September 2013.

    If you have never had the joy of pruning one of these beautiful shrubs,

    try to avoid it for the rest of your life.

    No matter how hard you try to prevent it,

    the gimungus thorns on the Bougainvillea

    will get you.

     

    On your hands (yes through the gloves),

    your arms,

    even through the soles of your shoes.

    And they hurt!

    or

    should I say

    in-acupuncture?

     

    OUCH!
