Here's a momma deer and her wee one giving me "the business" for daring to open the back door this morning.
A baby deer peeking from behind its mother as they both watch me warily.

Severe thunderstorm warning: expect heavy rain, large hail, and apparently zombies...

"Momentary masters of a fraction of a dot."

We really miss you Dr. Carl Sagan. #carlsagan #palebluedot
A photo from Voyager of what looks like a speck of dust in a beam of a light, but is actually the planet Earth lit by a sunbeam, and the following quote from Carl Sagan's book "Pale Blue Dot." "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves." -Carl Sagan; Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

Some days I need to escape to a memory of a better time. This was one of those better times. The sand was cool and the water was warm. And the colors, oh my gosh the colors...

A brutally cold morning here made my mind wander to a warmer memory during a trip back home last fall.

"A Morning Invitation"

While not as chilly as the morning this picture was taken (-18°F), still a brisk -3° this morning.

A Christmas Eve morning crescent. Those looking for "crescent rolls" must keep scrolling sadly.

Just listen to all that quiet.
