No egrets.
Oh,
one egret.
No regrets.
(Mostly.)
Great Egret at sunset.

There's something about a sandbar
that beckons you to come out past your comfort zone,
to tempt the tide and time,
just a little farther,
a little longer…
all will be well.
Promise!

My favorite fountain in Mt. Vernon Place,
probably my favorte fountain in the world!
The cat tails and the turtle and the playful child,
all speak to a simple joy.

Sometimes it's the things that you can't see or figure out
in an image,
or
in life,
that are the most
intriguing.
Not the things that make you crazy,
but the things that make you
wonder.

Singing her little heart out,
just for me!
This Brown Thrasher had me fooled for a little while as she was singing like a Mockingbird right outside my door.

On the way to the beach to watch the moon rise, and crossing the Bridge of Lions,
there rose the BIG and beautiful moon.
With the car parked on the other side of the bridge and walking to
get a shot of the moon in the rigging of El Galeon
which is docked in the harbor,
the moon crosses the lighthouse,
and the dreamed of shot is captured,
Enjoying the scene, as El Galeon and the lighthouse and the moon converge
something shoots into the sky from the space center.
WOW!
Living right.
Full moon, El Galeon, Spacecraft…interesting justaposition, May 24th, 2013.

This is the begining of the story of Friday's full moon,
the largest I have seen in a long long time.
(More to come tomorrow…
and there is a surprise at the end!)

The way that the horizon curves in this photograph,
it looks as though the sun might take us all with it,
clouds, earth and water,
as it sets beautifully at the end of a long day.
But the sun doesn't really set, does it?
So it can't take us down with it,
only farther along, with our sister planets (even Pluto),
on this crazy journey through space and time.
Sunset over the river, Vilano Beach.

These two clouds drifted apart a bit morebefore coming back so close together that they became one.Kind of like our relationships,the rythm of our friendships and love,ebbing and flowinglike grand clouds dancing in the sky.Far apart one momentand close as a kiss the next.This is a time to cherish our connections,and to send our love where tragedy has struck,hoping for only good things in the days ahead,for those who are hurting the most.Dedicated to the victims of the Oklamoma tornados. -
(To paraphrase e.e. cummings…)
not all matterings of mind
equal
one
iris
The line as I remember it is:
not all matterings of mind equal one violet
And aren't we lucky to see such things?
