Full moon, Clouds and Crickets

September 22, 2021

Happy Autumn everyone.  It sure did get cool after the front moved in.  So refreshing!

Ok so I woke up around 4am after about 5 hours of sleep. I stepped outside hoping to see the full moon.  The skies had been so cloudy that I was doubtful.  But there she was, with a halo around her.  The sky in the south was glowing orange.  There is a plant place in that area where they have lights in the gardens and I guess that's what makes the sky glow.  

I shot a video that came out pretty well.  I posted it on my Facebook page but I'll be darned if I could get it to work here on blogger.  I could upload it but it wouldn't process or whatever that's called.  I tried a number of times and got a square that said Video unavailable.  I googled it, followed some directions that led me nowhere, so I finally gave up.   I could hear the crickets chirping in the video and I so wanted to post it here.  Here is my video if you're interested.  Just the full moon like you see here and the orangish sky with crickets chirping.

Awesome Low-Hanging Clouds

Rain and possible flooding is our weather forecast for the weekend.

On our way home from hubby's birthday lunch I saw some awesome clouds hanging over the mountains and of course had to take pictures of them. 

I hope it's not too bad for the farmers who have their crops planted. 

CLOUD VIEWING - 26

I love looking at clouds. I take pictures of them and post them on Facebook. I even wrote a poem about clouds. Here is a TED talk about why we should look at clouds more.

CLOUDS

 I used to have clouds in my bathtub But then I moved.
Now they're in my living room on my windshield.
I sit and watch their shapes and hear them calling me.
"Come out and play with us,"
they say as I sit in my easy chair and watch them on my windshield.
I hope no one moves my car.

So tell me about your experiences with cloud viewing.
