Time to get those feet movin’…

Nacreous Clouds over Lapland

Vivid and lustrous, wafting iridescent waves of color wash across this skyscape from Kilpisjärvi, Finland.  Known as nacreous clouds or mother-of-pearl clouds, they are rare. But their unforgettable appearance was captured looking south at 69 degrees north latitude at sunset on January 24. A type of polar stratospheric cloud, they form when unusually cold temperatures in the usually cloudless lower stratosphere form ice crystals. Still sunlit at altitudes of around 15 to 25 kilometers, the clouds can diffract sunlight even after sunset and just before the dawn.

…made me think of you, Vic!

Chipped teapot…don’t landfill it…donate it to a bird 😀❤️…. It even has its own drainage system…

Another oldie, but goodie…

In my world of uncertainty

Things that inspire me

I find in my life

Between the candle and the moon…

.

All the mistakes I’ve made

Their memories seem to fade

Into oblivion

Between the candle and the moon…

.

And when I dream my dreams

It so often seems

They are found in the night

Between the candle and the moon…

.

But those dreams are fleeting things

And the darkness always brings

A time to make things right, out there

Between the candle and the moon…

.

And so to you my friend

Please come and take my hand

And we shall stand again, somewhere

Between the candle and the shining moon…

I had never seen one of these before [actually, never even heard of]…until today. Turtles are one of my favorite creatures on the planet, and this one just topped my list…
