The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
Just another miracle here – the dawning of a new day.
The sun is rising over lingering storm clouds over the Blue Ridge Mountain range and finally over the foothills and hollows of home.

A Virginia sky over the Blue Ridge Mountains
offers a scenic route to Heaven,
and clouds to guide the way.
Moonlight Musing

I have never been able to take a credible photo of the moon. This little cell phone camera doesn’t have the capacity (or maybe I don’t know what I’m doing?).
But one silvery night when the fog lay in low Virginia hollows and there was a shimmer on surfaces left wet from a creeping mist, I had to try again.
Cloud Shower

I was gazing skyward at a woven tapestry of clouds
seemingly moving in an organized palette
to a pre-planned downward fall
in a Cloud Shower.
Heaven offers an endless array of artistic views
and some need to be remembered.

It’s the American “Eclipse Day” today!
I live on the edge of Totality. Sounds romantic but that means we aren’t going to go totally dark.
And we are expecting 80% coverage of the sun by the moon.
The excitement is still catchy.
This morning I looked out the kitchen window and saw two magnificent bucks with full antlers. How handsome and stately they were nibbling the lower leaves of our River Birch tree (no river but the Birch is doing well anyway). But how odd to see male deer on this sort of mystical morning. We rarely see the Bucks in their full form.
Then there were others; a Momma and her spotted fawn and sister does that formed a mini herd.
And scattered across the lawns were a flock of small black birds happily feasting.
It was a full wildlife scene in our rural Virginia when usually (by that time of the morning) such creatures have all retreated into the forest to hide from human predators.
And that has me with questions about the oncoming eclipse.
Do the animals know?
Is it much like a Tsunami?
Are the wild creatures sensisng something preparing for the moments of darkness to come?
