Lion Face (135/366)

Suspended lion face
Spilling at the centre
Of an unfurnished sky ...

Philip Larkin (1922-1986), British poet. "Solar."

TIME:  8:03 PM
PLACE:  Front porch
SUBJECT:  Lion’s head fountain

Yesterday I bought myself some miniature cattails to put in my water fountain.  Tonight, after cleaning out the tubing that directs the water through the lion’s mouth (I had a rather large blockage of dirt), I finally set up the new pump that I purchased a couple of months ago.  Now the soothing sounds of splashing water fill my front porch.

Super Moon Through Branches (079/365)

“The moon, the anchorless
Moon go swerving
Down at the earth for a catastrophic kiss.”

Philip Larkin (1922-1986), British poet. "The Dancer."

TIME:  10:00 PM
PLACE:  Off the highway
SUBJECT:  Moon

It was too cloudy last night to see the pinnacle of the Super Moon (where the moon is closest to the earth in its elliptical orbit), but I was able to snap a picture of it tonight instead.  According to NASA and contrary to popular belief, the closeness of this moon will not create any giant catastrophic events…the most it will do is could pull some tide waters a few centimeters higher than usual.  The best thing that happened today is that the spring equinox occurred at 18:20 hours – Hot damn and Hallelujah!

Clouds (308/365)

“See, I am the whitest cloud that strays
Through a deep sky:
I am your senses' crossroads,
Where the four seasons lie.”
 
Philip Larkin (1922-1986), British poet. "Mythological Introduction."

TIME:  5:03 PM
PLACE:  Backyard
SUBJECT:  The sky

Lots of sunshine, fluffy white clouds and a gorgeous blue sky today.  I ran errands (bank and grocery store), did laundry and put away all the Halloween decorations.  Still didn’t get everything done that I wanted to.  I attribute that to the fact that I’ve been feeling achy all day.  I hope I’m not coming down with anything  - that would stink.
