I always wanted to write a book entitled Pink Clouds and a Half Moon...just haven't gotten a story to go with it yet. I saw pink clouds and a half moon tonight as I sat looking at the sky from my favorite bench on my favorite dock. The moon was high in the sky and at first I couldn't see it. When I looked further south and saw the filmy pink clouds I started searching for the moon. There was cotton candy and mashed mango clouds interwoven with the lower silky gray rain clouds. I had seen the moon on the weekend and it was a sliver of a moon so I knew it was close to being a half moon by now, but I couldn't see it yet. Then the wind blew the lower gray clouds south and behold exactly what I was looking for; a half moon to go with my pink clouds. There must be a depression around Puerto Rico that is affecting us since the wind was quite brisk tonight. No manatees, but a hovering osprey that I watched until he dove in for his dinner....saw that little fish fighting for his life in his talons. Off behind me in the shallows, a great blue heron landed in the fishing area of a snowy white egret and displaced him to another spot on the beach with a throaty squawk. The energy that comes off the water when the wind blows like that is so attractive to me! I feel more alive in the wind when I am on the water. Don't know why, probably those negative ions tickeling my primeval brain.
