It’s fun when numbers line up like that! One time I woke up in the middle of the night, wondered what time it was and guessed. When I looked at my phone, I had guessed exactly right. That really spooked me.

It happens to me quite often. I think our internal clocks are much more in tune than we realize. 😊

This was lovely. I always feel lucky when I can spot the moon in my limited view of the sky from my apartment windows. Timing is essential and this week during a work meeting I jumped up to run to the window before it was too late. I was greeted with a beautiful view of the full moon above the city.

So glad you caught it! It is so amazing when you catch it in the early evening just as it hits the horizon. I now set my alarm on full moon days so I remember to look. I am lucky I live in a place that almost always has clear skies.

That is lucky! The winter rain is clearing here and I'm looking forward to more clear skies and moon gazing

Love all your flower pics! I've only got snow crocuses and snowdrops so far, and they delight me, for sure. All my other bulbs have their "noses" poking up. It's so exciting! Sometimes anticipation is as good as the reality, huh?

So glad you got up to see the full blood moon eclipse. You can't take pics that capture how it looks because it's meant for your eyes only, in the moment And finally seeing your owls... yes!! I, too, hear mine in the wee hours, but have never seen them.

Looking forward to your ponderings on numbers. Numbers are my friends :)

It's so true. Seeing the buds and the beginnings is my favorite part. You do have a good point, no camera will capture what I do with my own eyes. No possible!

Thank you for the beautiful pictures! Sadly it was completely cloud covered here during the lunar eclipse. My tiny thing is, yesterday morning I had stepped outside to just look around and listen to the birds and I was treated to at least three cardinals singing. Our trees are still bare so I could see two of them. I also heard the first red winged blackbird of the season.

I remember living in the snow, and those first sounds of the birds returning after winter were so wonderful. Good weather here is such a given that it's a treat to have bad weather.

It is so true. I find that sometimes I have an underlying anxiety these days, especially after reading the news. I really have to get outside and indulge my art practice. It is my escape. It allows me to escape and be in the moment.

Thank you! There are probably 70 more from this week. I can't stop taking them. 😊 So many blooms!
