New Year's Eve

A couple of year's ago on New Year's eve.
Closest thing I come to resolutions these days.


I watched the sun as it set yesterday.
I watched the sun as it rose again this morning.

I don't do this often enough, few of us do.

Just a few minutes after the sun broke through this morning, a twitchy squirrel sat on top of a fence post, still, facing the sun, then resumed his twitchiness.

A vulture flew within 20 feet of me, its under feathers reflecting the sunlight as it banked.

I just watched.
It would have happened anyway.
And it's happening anyway.



And it will keep on happening....

    Happy New Year, Doyle -

    I resolve to keep my eyes open as well.

    Happy New Year--hope you're back on your feet soon.

    (I wish I could keep my eyes open for more than moments--I need to go back to talking to my crow friend.)

    Happy New Year!

    The picture is from North Cape May, looking at a setting winter sun on the Delaware Bay.

    I complain quite a bit through November and into December about the short days. But reading this reminded me how much I enjoy seeing the sunrise and the sunset so often.
