Fascination

 I've been taking my 'hood exercise in the early morning, to beat the heat.

Yesterday, I saw all of these interesting things:

Am always fascinated by the quirky items that catch my eye.

Maybe I'm still half-asleep?

Full of...

The term “Buck Moon” is a reference to male deer, which are also called bucks. In late spring, male deer start to grow new antlers, and these new antlers, coated in velvety fur, can be fully visible by July, according to the Farmers’ Almanac. The name “Buck Moon” comes from Algonquin tribes that lived in what is now the northeastern U.S., according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

July’s full moon has other names too. Some Indigenous groups have dubbed it the Salmon Moon because its timing aligns with salmon runs, which is when the fish migrate up rivers each year. Others have called it the Thunder Moon because of the early summer’s frequent thunderstorms. Europeans refer to the full moon as the Hay Moon because early summer is typically when haymaking takes place.

Feeling Moony

In honor of this anniversary, here's a pic of the full moon taken in February, 2024.

Artified with Prisma 'Blooming' filter, it seems apt for the day.

Eclipse

I've taken a vacation day from work.

The Hubby and I will drive from home in Michigan to some point in Ohio nearest 100% totality.

The trip by The Cat Car will take about about an hour.

Once the sun is again full in the sky, we'll drive back home again.

A once-in-a-lifetime event for us.

Have the glasses, along with a filter for my iPhone.

A full tank of gas, snacks, and maybe a handful of CD's to enjoy...road trip!

Wild

It's Caturday!

We've all had some wild weather, and while we pray for those severely affected by rain, snow, ice, and wind, there is still beauty.

I played with Lunapic for these, then boosted the colors in iPhoto.

Fascination

Sweetie continues to fascinate me!

Her fur, her paws, her whiskey-and-cigarettes meows, and how the full moon, as it lights up the snowy landscape, seems to fascinate her.

Even if it means that she goes from window to window...walking across my sleeping body...to watch whatever it is that she sees.

I've tried; I don't see anything!
