Jericho's Walls They were devout nomads
These rambling souls
Desert dwellers
Living as they would
Their children learning
The ways of old
Cathedrals of sand
Great mountains of worship
Ever-changing with the wind
And baked in the hell-hot
Summer sun
Devoutly praying
For guidance
Yet knowing the way
Already to
Jericho’s walls

8:30 A.M. Mountain Time I was late for work
but I always put on my shoes
in front of the television
and watch the news

I wish I hadn’t that day--
I saw buildings burning
humanity falling
death from above

People falling
who had no wings
I cried for them

I sat on the couch in
stunned, unbelieving silence
staring at the carnage
that had already passed

It was 8:30 A.M. Mountain Time
It was 10:30 Eastern Time

I was late for work
I watched the South Tower fall
over and over and over again
then, the North Tower fell, too
over and over and over again
I cried for them, too

and then I heard about the Pentagon
and about Flight 93
my shoes remain

Force Fieldby *Corvidae65

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Weather

*Full View Please*

I managed to capture this shot after a lot of radar watching the other night--a small thunderstorm developed just north of town around 11:30 P.M. When I saw the radar turn from green to red I knew it would have some lightning so out the door I went

It was a small, fast moving storm and I chased it for 25 miles stopping only twice to set up my tripod--the second time I stopped I caught several pretty good bolts, but this one is by far the best of the night.

It sort of looks like the earth is repelling the bolt with a force field, but it's just a cloud to cloud strike. The distance to the bolt was probably 20 miles or so.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed seeing this as much as I did capturing it!

Thank you for looking, commenting and faving

Do The Twist! by *Corvidae65

Creek Side I am rooted creek side
listening to what the water has to say
it was talking when I arrived
and will continue long after I am gone
telling of the trees and the fish
the moon and the sun

A waterfall interjects its wild stories
in a cacophony of splashes and spray
of cataract canyons and gigantic boulders
they have worn down through the ages
before they join their liquid brother
passing along to wherever creeks go
I listen; my roots grow deeper creek sideCreek Side by *Corvidae65
