As the Sun proceeds south in its autumn plunge towards winter, it sometimes briefly projects surprising designs through the windows onto the opposite walls. We never know what may appear next with these ephemeral luminary adventures. #sunrise #autumn #winter

The Company You Keep
It was fun watching the Moon duck in and out of the clouds in the western sky while the Sun rose in the east recently. The football-shaped Moon was clearly marked with dark lava flows across its brilliant face as it headed towards last quarter. Without the white clouds, however, the auto exposure of theContinue reading “The Company You Keep”
No Time for iPhones and Earbuds
The harvest Moon and Jupiter peered between clouds through a slot in the trees. A nearby owl hooted as we walked the deserted street. Cicadas, commonly called katydids, buzzed out their morning song as the dawn brightened and burnished clouds with an orange glow. Birds awoke to serenade us with their chirping, singing, and cawing,Continue reading “No Time for iPhones and Earbuds”
Glow or Glower?
This curious patch of orange appeared in the eastern sky just before sunrise. It appeared not only beautiful but, also somewhat ominous, considering that it is hurricane season. Perhaps it was just a Rorschach test for the amusement or the trepidation of anyone who happened to notice its brief apparition.

We heeded the warning of “red in the morning,” and were properly sheltered during the afternoon thunderstorms that followed. Undaunted, however, was a planet peering through the clouds. Venus, in the upperContinue reading “By the Dawn’s Early Light”
Sunrise Rays By Setting Moon
Rays from a soon-to-rise Sun appeared in the east and blazed all the way across to the western sky and the setting Moon. Another dawn treasure free to anyone fortunate enough to look at the right time. #sunrise #rays #moon
Summer Sunrise Surprise
Fingers of sunrise pried between a gap in the trees and poked through the window above the door to paint shadows on the adjacent wall. This happens only when the Sun is at its northernmost part of its travels through the seasons. Already it has begun its southerly retreat towards its winter residence, and inContinue reading “Summer Sunrise Surprise”
On the Wings of Eagles
During a recent morning walk, the weather gods stirred the sky with evocative cloud images. At first it looked like the wing of a giant bird stretched upwards from the horizon. However, as I pondered longer, an eagle’s head began to appear on the lower left. Perhaps it is both wing and eagle combined inContinue reading “On the Wings of Eagles”
A Sunrise Ending
Remembering our days at sea.
Sunrise, Sunset…
I don’t really recall whether this photo, taken a few years ago, was at sunrise or sunset. But it doesn’t matter. My wish today is that your sun may rise with bright opportunities and set full of fond memories that will never fade.
