I've been dreaming about the facts

[sovay]

Late this afternoon, we got out of the house for the first actual walk I had taken in more than a month. There was dry splintered ice in the gutters of the streets and the paring of a crescent moon in the same blue-sinking sky as contrails lit like fireworks by the sunset. No one but no one that we met was wearing a mask except for us, which is why my face is not on display in the photo spatch took of me up by the high school. Later on he went for a walk of his own and returned to window cats.



I miss my beloved rabbit-lined leather gloves which finally gave up the ghost this winter, but I don't miss the alternative of my fingers ceasing to work after five minutes in freezing air.



I think Autolycus makes a much better silhouette than I do, but he has the advantage of ears.

The wind keeps smelling like snow. I wish it would. I am going to try to find something distractingly pleasant to watch or read.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear "mow, mow, mow!" as I unlocked the front door.

The sunset and the crescent moon were amazing tonight.

One of the things I have hated about spending so much time indoors is how many skies I have missed. This was a good one.

Here it was just off I-90 in Chicopee, where I stopped to take a picture:

That is a beautiful photograph.

Lovely sky and cheerful counterpoint between sublime sunset colors vs neon and plastic shouting.

Your comment reminds me of a line from a song by The Incredible String Band: "Only the sun knows how to be quietly bright"

Oh! I hadn't thought of the Incredibles in decades.

Listening to Mercy I Cry City right now thanks to web magic.

Your sunset description is absolutely gorgeous, oh my goodness.

We had our first snow of the Winter last night- only a little, but we were beginning to wonder where it had gone.

I'm glad it made an appearance! We had a first snow at the beginning of December and then a second snow a little later in the month and then it has been resolutely raining since in circumstances that would obviously have been snow only a couple of years ago and I don't like it.

Amazing light in both those pictures! They both look like paintings, not necessarily by the same artist ...

spatch is very good at light.

Ok I know those are Christmas lights, but my first thought was of Victorian Spirit photography and my second was that you were having a Close Encounter.

If spirit photography, I wonder what I attracted.

NOPE
No wondering
Please place that inkling of a wonder in this biohazard hatbox, which we will be sending to the sun

Snow seems to be on the way for Friday. Hopefully it will...
