"Shine on, shine on harvest moon," my father sang while courting my mother. A cloud veiled that moon. During its transit, I was conceived, so conceive of that moon shining down on Fats while he's singing the next verses: "I ain't had no lovin' since. . ." yet rather than complaint, a boast. A moon meets a cloud & un able to digest its story conceives of you, reader, photographer, beloved
Gorgeous nature shots, Ms.M. … even the spider. Who can resist a duck butt? The squirrel looks as if he's about to leap on me and steal my lunch. Those things gang up and mug tourists in St.James's Park.
Thank you, Dive. I'm rather arachophobic, but I can move past it enough to take a photo (at a safe distance, of course) -- unless it's one of those hairy, leaping kind of spiders. The duck butt has been popular; I wonder if it's those orange feet? And altho this squirrel looks endearing, I know they create squirrel gangs that terrorize bird feeders and mug outdoor picnickers.

You make me laugh, Altadenahiker. The duck butt is cute, isn't it?
Anon, what a lovely poem! Thank you.
