Second Life: THE DARK MUSE
Sense Of Something Coming
I am like a flag in the center of open space.
I sense ahead the wind which is coming, and must live
it through.
while the things of the world still do not move:
the doors still close softly, and the chimneys are full
of silence,
the windows do not rattle yet, and the dust still lies down.
I already know the storm, and I am troubled as the sea.
I leap out, and fall back,
and throw myself out, and am absolutely alone
in the great storm.
Rainer Maria Rilke

A favorite spot for a Friday night pizza pickup supper. I can't begin to count how many loaded veggie pies were consumed here after wrapping up a hectic week of work!
I actually wanted to go to sleep, but then the light from outside shone very brightly. I could not resist and took my camera, but since our balcony is currently somewhat crowded, I had no place for the tripod. So this is a freehand capture.
OK, so I saw this at a gas station stop on a road trip and knew I just had to have it. Despite preferring to find empty cans, I decided to buy one. Cruising down the highway I found a little Forgiato Blow on Youtube to blast through my trucks speakers, I popped open the can and had a few sips. I wondered if the drink's objective would be achieved, especially the "Peerless and Fearless" part. I wondered if, after drinking, I would start flying flags from the back of my truck and maybe even wear a red hat.
Well it didn't take too long, only a couple of sips in fact, I turned off the rantings of a fool and pulled the truck over to the side of the road. I snapped back to reality, uttered an extended, "Yuck..." and emptied the rest of the can out onto the side of the highway. At that moment I thought, what BS this all is and knew that smashing up this can was going to be well worth the money I paid for it. And so it goes, another story and another can added to the collection!
FYI: Preparation of this can was as close as I want to come to cutting up a finger on the torn can's sharp edges or from the razor knife used to help model/release the wording that was on the back of the can. BTW: I was also quite pleased with the way this one turned out and instead of putting it in the bag with the rest of the cans, I told Marybeth that I should make a little stand and case to display it on a shelf. She gave me a look and walked away...

Moon Phase Today: January 18, 2022
The Moon's current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with an illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9pm and Midnight depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning. During this phase the Moon can also be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon. Moongiant
at the botanical garden, Old Roses section....
The label calls it a "shrub rose".
"Centuries old, the Provence or Centifolia roses are traditionally known as "Cabbage Roses" because of the multitude of petals per blossom. The first Centifolias were cultivated in Europe before 1600."--the Monticello website. (Thomas Jefferson had a few in his garden)."

10:30pm. Decided to stop by this spot on the way home last night as the full moon reflection angle looked like it would align perfectly with Natural Bridges keyhole feature. Finally my first time on this beach alone with just my gear. Single exposure.
Monarch Butterfly. I've been thinking of warm weather today so I thought I'd post this shot of a monarch as a reminder.
