Pink Super Moon

Standing on water, watching the Pink Super Moon rise, a guy jamming on a Flutophone while sky watchers flit around in their bank robber chic attire… yes, it was an epic night. Watching this moon come over the eastern horizon was a transcendent experience. As we carefully spaced, socially distanced sky watchers were hyper focused […]

Lleuad, Mawrth, a Iau

Did you see it? The crescent moon was flanked by Jupiter and Mars this morning before dawn with Saturn off to the left. The moon was so large and buttery and the planets so bright that it was surreal. It seemed like an epic scene out of a science fiction movie set in another galaxy, […]

’57 Cormorant

Earlier this week I drove down to photograph the latest developments in the West Sammamish River Bridge project. I shared pictures of the three bridges there in The Final Countdown, two of which will soon be lost to time. Almost all of the trees on the west side of the bridges have been removed to […]

Fullmåne

The Algonquian are credited with calling this moon, or tibik-kėzis, the Worm Moon. Tonight we were dazzled by the Worm Moon Super Moon, aka the Worm Super Moon. Even the shots when neighbor doggie with cataracts was getting tangled up in the tripod, which are not very focused, are captivating. Collective Evolution just posted a […]

Salsuginis Bye and Bye

Safe indeed by land to journey,But the way is rough and trying,Long the road and full of turnings;Lovely is the ship on ocean,Beautiful to ride the billows,Journey easy o’er the waters,Sailing in a trusty vessel;Should the West-wind cross our pathway,Will the South-wind drive us northward… The Kalevala, Rune XXXIX If you are a regular here […]

Perelandra

Both the humans trembled– Merlin because he did not know what was coming, Ransom because he knew. And now it came. It was fiery, sharp, bright and ruthless, ready to kill, ready to die, outspeeding light: it was Charity, not as mortals imagine it, not even as it has been humanised for them since the […]

Alpaca Fiesta

After leaving the scarecrow-riddled Remlinger Farms property in Carnation, you may turn south and see a sign that announces an alpaca farm. If you follow the signs and happen to turn down the correct driveway, you find Cascade Rose Alpacas. Alpacas are naturals in front of the camera. They seem instinctively curious, and while not […]

Super Worm Equinox Purim Moon

Above the tower — a lone, twice-sized moon.On the cold river passing night-filled homes,It scatters restless gold across the waves.On mats, it shines richer than silken gauze. Empty peaks, silence: among sparse stars,Not yet flawed, it drifts. Pine and cinnamonSpreading in my old garden . . . All light,All ten thousand miles at once in […]

Die Plenae Lunae Reversurus

Today on January 1st, 2018, we were blessed with one of the most beautiful full moons I’ve ever seen. I ran out onto the dock of Log Boom Park in Kenmore, Washington to try and capture the glory of the moonrise and light. Looking down the dock to the south. This is at the northern […]

Faux Blood Moon?

WOW. I was just coming home from the store and had to stop to take pictures of this gorgeous rising moon. I couldn’t quite get a steady shot, even balancing the camera on a fire hydrant, but you can see why I was in awe. We aren’t due for another blood moon yet, but this […]
