December 21 - December 25 Winter Solstice
2010-A little observation reveals that while the landscape here in south Florida at first appearance is never changing, there are seasonal cycles here. Some of the trees, which I can’t identify, have lost their leaves and there is a great fall of acorns from some new kind of oak, greatly appreciated by the Muscovy ducks and the squirrels. There was a Solstice full moon and a lunar eclipse that we roused ourselves out of bed to observe. It seems carping to point out that the lunar event seemed somewhat overshadowed by the bright exterior lighting and the ubiquitous pink sky, but so I found it.
2011-No entry
2012-If I had not stayed home this year I would not have discovered that my house is actually a Neolithic temple. As with its sister structure at New Grange, on Winter Solstice morning, the rays of the rising sun pierce the front door aperture and illuminate the entire interior passageway. Luckily, I got a picture.
