A Long Day's Journey into Light

The day begins at "butt ugly early o'clock"
on the way to the airport.

Moonrise Over Lakewood

Some sights are so reliable, you could almost take them for granted. But then, on a clear night, you step outside and there it is, impossible to ignore.

A Celestial Bookend to the Day

Some days are framed by celestial events. Today was one of them. I caught the last glimpse of the full moon as it set this morning, a pale, detailed orb against the early darkness.

The Night Before the Wolf Moon

There's a special kind of anticipation on the night before a full moon. It hangs in the sky, just a sliver short of perfect, a brilliant preview of the main event.
