    Just Now

    These rainbows were this morning. Over the Gulf and 6:10 and at the intersection of 395 and 30A at 6:32AM. Lightning storm coming from the SW. Forget it. Files too big.

    Tropical Storm Debby

    About 7 a.m. Eastern Lake was opening up to the Gulf. The entire inoutfall behind me in this photo was lined with garbage. Hope it is swept away with high tide or we'll need some dedicated beach cleanup. The blue heron is getting pretty fearless, flying in near the people.

    Panorama of sunset and sunrise on solstices and equinoxes at Deer Lake State Park

    Have to get up over an hour before sunrise to get to the ramp and set up. The best pre-dawn walk was in March when the whole surf was phosphorescent, glowing and sparkling eerie greenies. So it is worth it and you are welcome. I loved the stars last night and at the eclipse too. We have a great...

    Burning Bowl Ceremony Saturday or Sunday?

    I will try to come. Haven't done one of these since Madrakara in California in the late 1970s. Will edit my list, which has been building up since then. I've always thought bonfires with charcoal and smoke had no place on our crystal sand beach. Wonder if I can release that judgment with the...

    Panorama of sunset and sunrise on solstices and equinoxes at Deer Lake State Park

    We could do more with the tilt and celestial sphere, with our great SoWal views of the sky. I like imagining the "repeating patterns of the arc". Thinking of all the multiples stretches the senses for sure. Good workout.
