If I stand right .... here ....

And hold my camera just .... so .... the moon looks like a lollypop on a stick. How cool is that?

I stumbled on a series of pictures I took of this moonset while looking through my Bosque pictures for some more birds to put up here. I just couldn't resist playing with it. It reminded me of a series of moonset pictures I posted on an earlier version of this website way back in January 2001 , almost exactly ten years ago to the day.

Wow, ten years ago seems like ancient history now - there's been so so much water over the dam since then. I don't think the idea I might someday retire and bop around in an old RV had even occurred to me ten years ago.

As My Breathing Evened Out

As my breathing evened out, I began to notice other sensations. The water felt different from any other water I'd ever swum in, as if it were more solid than fluid, as though I were swimming through a liquid Sno-Kone. [swimming in 33 degree water / 34 degree air]
