A hazy moon through the frangipani tree.

Walk on two evenings

Yesterday's walk... It is dark.  I have to walk with the garden lights on.  There is the drip, drip of rain. Doggy friend runs on ahead, thoroughly enjoying the rain.  I see a moth fluttering in a white lily.  A jagged flash of lightning snaking across the southern sky, makes me think that maybe I should get back inside. The rain increases and I'm driven inside.
This evening, it gets dark as I walk.  The rain was over earlier and everything is wet, wet, wet.  I go out again later in the evening and I can't believe it, there are stars out, so many and a crescent moon smiling down, with a little cloud ring around it. There is a cool breeze.  Beautiful!

The bright blue one is a regular one around here. This photo was taken just after it died and before it was dragged away by ants. Isn't it a brilliant blue? Apparently they are endangered.

This was taken in Chennai.

Some more on my favourite time of day

Dusk turning to night.

I go out for a walk.  It is dusk, my favourite time of day.  There is a half-moon slightly westward and Venus over eastwards.  Big puffy clouds, grey with a white head, sail slowly into view.  I breathe in the air and just for a minute my skin dissolves and I am one with the air around, the trees, the ground, the sky...........till my doggy friend reminds me that I am me.

It seems to be new baby time all around.  A colleague and I were standing near the door at work (a school surrounded by vegetation of all shapes and sizes) and we saw running across the path,a mongoose.  This is a fairly common sight, but what was interesting was that we saw a tiny little one running with mom, just under her belly! Was sorry I didn't have a camera.

My favourite time of the day.
