I went out last evening and made a photo of the moon. That wasn't abnormal for me, but what was different was when I looked at the pic on the computer, the moon was blue. Man, that only happens once in a blue moon. It was due to wispy cloud cover, and I figured it would come out thusly. I shot one on film back in the 80s that turned out blue on a print.

Cold this morning, yet verging on spring. Still, no robin for me; but I keep looking.
----
Isn't today just the greatest day ever? Of course it is; it is the last time we will ever see it and there shall never be another like it. Enjoy it as long as you may because tomorrow is only a future memory, but today is extant.

Time to start thinking about a trip to the creek and a springtime cleansing of the skin. Damn, I like getting naked in the woods. It is odd seeing so much water in the streams; the ongoing drought had them to a trickle. I must also cut my whiskers and hair. When March arrives, it will be six months since last I shaved, and a full year ere scissors were laid to my locks. A narcissistic photo is called for before trimming back to the real world.

Hi, John and Milly.
The hair isn't too bad to take care of as long as I keep it trimmed out of my eyes. The beard is like a bramble thicket; growing in all directions. I can see where you would rather please your customers rather than your vanity.
I don't do a lot of wildlife shots, not even back in the 80s when I had a long lens for my Nikon SLR. I'll get by with the little Canon point-and-shoot... at least for a while.
Spring is popping, thou slowly.
