WHERE IN THE WORLD IS SUPER MOON #3 ?


Everyone has been talking about 
SUPER MOON #3
so we set out to find this anomaly.


Look it isn't over there in Halifax,
I just see 2 bridges and high-rises.


Maybe it's down on the boardwalk in Eastern Passage


All these peeps seem to be throwing fish lines
out into the water trying to hook 
the SUPER MOON #3
(they better watch out because 
those 2 big huge orbs above them called bokeh
just might flatten them, I think.)
Do you think those are moons?


Far out into the still water
even Mr. Orangie wasn't able to help me,


it didn't matter how many times Jim threw him out there
No, SUPER MOON #3 was appearing.


I really think the fishers thought that their lines could catch the moon.



Even this zippy speed boat slipped by
and they said they couldn't find
SUPER MOON #3 either.
(Look behind you!)


So we decided to leave The Passage 
and all my new friends
 heading to Cow Bay
about a 15 minutes drive down the shoreline.


These birds were congregating on mass
over the water descending to the calmness and rocks below.
Do you see something faintly on the horizon?


Oh yes you do because I sure can!


SUPER MOON #3
being crushed by Jim.
He has awful big fingers to be able to do that,
don't you think?


The bay was absolutely still
as the moon slowly rose into our view.


Then this fellow appeared and stroked effortlessly across the bay
which is the ocean for those who may think this is a lake.
It ain't.


He had the entire place to himself.
He zenned on the water
unbeknownst to us
zenning on the shoreline
finally discovering our
SUPER MOON #3.

JOY UNDER A FIRST 1/4 MOON !!


High above in the steel blue sky floats the moon
heading towards the third and final super moon for 2014.


However I am much more interested in grabbing a slice of life
this evening with the skies clear
and the air,
a slight waft of coolness every now and again


I think you'll enjoy my hour
as we three amigoes
take in the last vestages of the sun-filled evening.


So is this lady with her robin's egg, baby-blue surf board
focused
~ so very focused


So are these three fellows grabbing and hunkering down on the all-but spent waves


So are these three people
already exhausted from an evenings
thrill on the waves


So be it for these three guys
the faces tell it all


 High above again,
albeit from a closer view than what the moon offers,
I truly believe the plane load
full of travelers can see us down below.


Jim assures me that the visit isn't over yet


First I must sit


then like a cannon
I blast off!


How much did I love my wet romp?


I think this tells it all
as we saunter home
smothered in ruddy light.

SUPER MOON #2


Hi Folks!
Here we are at 9 p.m. catching the Super Moon!
The second one this summer too!
One more will grace our skies in September so be prepared.


Off to the east we catch a glimpse of the pink trail of folks flying 
to who knows where.


Can you imagine being up there and seeing this gorgeous moon tonight?
I can!


 Look at me everyone!
I'm "Mr.Orangie-less"!
The guys were all GaGa over the Super Moon
so forgot to bring "HIM" along.
Imagine that!


Oh well, I'll let it go this time
but next month 
Mr. Orangie
will be found snuggly
with in my clasp.


We slipped off the hill
and scooted down to the beach to see these two lovebirds
jumping off the lifeguard stand.


I sniffed around plenty and found seaweed and more rocks as usual.
Some people go GaGa over these rocks like you wouldn't believe.


Look 2 more lovebirds taking a selfie.


See what the Super Moon does to you without you realizing.


So with this all under our belts,
we headed back home and this greeted us as we walked into the living room.
Mother Nature!
You can be so beautiful 
in such a mysterious way.

1st QUARTER MOON RISING


 Bright, crisp, clear and fresh this is my 'today' moment for you,
but behind me faintly can be seen ~~~


in the upper left-hand corner
the 1st Quarter Moon.


This phase of the moon arises at noon hour
and I just happen to be here, perfect timing.


With the moon still in view, I have to keep my eye on Jim who decided to walk the main trail
because his footwear wasn't the right kind for these tricky snow covered trails.


 There he is camouflaged in the middle of the picture.
Now you can see why I have to keep and eye on him,
he blends so easily.


Jim has been rounded up and lead back
to where we started.
The moon seems to help with all this need I have
of keeping everyone together.
