/chasing the Eclipse

lengthwise past nighttime road; Bright

and frigid dusk Dawns\

This is all my poor equipment was able to capture, but that's ok.

I have been away from the computer for a few days, spur of the moment road-trip, and also to do some rough draft writing on projects to come.

Nice rocks, I know, but my equipment (a phone) didn't capture the weirdness of the eclipse light.

In any case, now that I'm back, with my post-eclipsed brain and eyes that will never be the same again, I've just been binge-reading the Vocal Writing Awards shortlists. It is a very intense range of reading and experience that has been fascinating, and fun to be able to participate in the judging and rating. I have some free time for reading and writing, so I'm back and operational for now. Here's some photos of more cool rocks from our cozy little zone spot:

Really cool rocks that would retain all their charm even in non-eclipse situations.

Not only mineral, but vegetable beauty:

Thanks for reading. For a better read than this, go and check out the Vocal Writing Awards Shortlists!
