♫ Mood ~ Shinedown - Simple Man
See No Evil
by Billy Collins
No one expected all three of them
to sit there on their tree stumps forever,
their senses covered with their sinuous paws
so as to shut out the vile, nefarious world.
As it happened,
it was the one on the left
who was the first to desert his post,
uncupping his ears,
then loping off into the orbit of rumors and lies,
but also into the realm of symphonies,
the sound of water tumbling over rocks
and wind stirring the leafy domes of trees.
Then the monkey on the right lowered his hands
from his wide mouth and slipped away
in search of someone to talk to,
some news he could spread,
maybe something to curse or shout about.
And that left the monkey in the middle
alone with his silent vigil,
shielding his eyes from depravity's spectacle,
blind to the man whipping his horse,
the woman shaking her baby in the air,
but also unable to see
the russet sun on a rough shelf of rock
and apples in the grass at the base of a tree.
Sometimes, he wonders about the other two,
listens for the faint sounds of their breathing
up there on the mantel
alongside the clock and the candlesticks.
And some nights in the quiet house
he wishes he could break the silence with a question,
but he knows the one on his right
would not be able to hear,
and the one to his left,
according to their sacred oath--
the one they all took with one paw raised--
is forbidden forever to speak, even in reply.

Have a wonderful Friday. We camped here on our first and second nights of our backpacking loop in Yellowstone.
Wednesday evening storms had some really cool clouds like this Shelf Cloud. Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
“Think you’re in control until you’re not
And you’re so in love until you forgot,
Find a place where we can be alone
…a place where we can be ourselves…”
More on a little virtual keyhole ☂
Dust & Sparkles,
Dea
I can honestly say hand on heart that I never ever saw any sky like this in all my life...
I was on holiday with my young grandson and his cousin and only had my iphone camera on me as I devoted my time to the boys. Well I captured the moment.....
A shelf cloud is a long wedge shape cloud that forms on the leading edge of a squall line or multi-cluster storm system. They often stretch for miles across the sky and may have finger (non rotating) like clouds reaching toward the ground. Shelf clouds form as cold air within the storm rushes out lifting warm moist air ahead of the storm. As that warm air lifts it condenses and a shelf cloud forms. What you will experience as a shelf cloud moves towards you is first heavy winds and then rain and hail. The main threat with a shelf cloud is severe damaging winds.
Two days ago this storm front swept over Val Marie, producing damaging winds and torrential rain, and knocking out power. Yesterday the strong winds continued and we lost power just before supper. So... two evenings in a row I have cooked supper on my camp stove. Today all is calm and I think maybe we have returned to normal. Contrary to how things look in this photo, it wasn't the End Of the World.
Because these clouds were discharging lightning, I didn't set up my tripod, aka lightning rod. Even running out into this field for a few quick shots was dangerous, and more than half of them were blurred due to buffeting from the wind. I came home with a few keepers, though.
