Gone Feral In Idaho

Image by   paleocave.sciencesortof.com Tonight is the longest night of the year. I meant to put out some luminaries, but I had to work tonight and frankly I am dead tired. I love the feeling of this night of nights. The outside is so cold, dark, and asleep while we crazy humans in this climate, somehow, survive. We decorate, drink, dine, and celebrate in the face of old man winter. We put out bright colored lights this time of year to provide some glow of light and color on these dark dark days. I love that my neighbors leave their holiday lights on 'till dawn so that when I wake up at 0600 Mountain time and leave for work at 0645, there is some sort of light in the dark frigid air.  I read a meteorologist's blog tonight about how tomorrow's light will be a bit longer than today's. It will happen in small increments until we reach the zenith at summer solstice with sunlight until practically 2200 hrs.  We have no snow here in Boise this so...

These aren't the best, but still pretty good for a point and shoot. Now, the days get longer.

Happy Winter Solstice!  The shortest day of the year is upon us with a rare lunar eclipse.  Hopefully a few of my photos will come out.  Here is a stock photo in the meantime. What does this sign mean?  The spring growing season is on it's way and Halloween is a little bit closer.
