My neighbor Stacia sent me this picture with the following message: "The western sky looks like it’s on fire!"

At Evening’s Performance

With blazing vibrance,
Yon star takes a final bow
‘Fore dark curtain falls.

Last night’s full moon enticed me and my camera outside.

Mooning

Lured by a vague tidal pull,

I shake off my weariness

and plunge into the waves of night

holding tightly onto my camera.

 Anticipation floats in my belly,

as I focus my lens skyward

and capture a hypnotic sight,

displayed unabashedly full circle.

These Icicles were dangling in the grand foyer of my front yard.

Crystal Chandeliers

Dripping with luster,

These prisms of ice brighten

Winter’s vestibule.
