At First Glance

I went to Google Arts and Culture and typed in ” autumn ” because today is the first day of Autumn and this is what I got.

The third print made sense, the first two I don’t get it, but the more I go over the paintings, I’m starting to see why Google pulled them up.

The first two prints don’t look like Autumn, but they feel like it.

 

There are 51 days to Halloween and today is the first day of Autumn.

There are 53 days to Halloween and I am thinking a little about Christmas presents-

and who has been naughty and who has been nice

After all, it’s that time of the year.

 

20,000 Miles Into Saturn and Other Scary Science Treats

Francisco Goya
Saturn Devouring His Son

If you created a super space suit and you could dive into Saturn, would you?

I would.

Just a warning, if you managed to make it to the core- that may or may not exist-

you’ll die there. Eventually Saturn will squash you like a bug.

 

The Mutilation of Uranus by Saturn: fresco by Giorgio Vasari and Cristofano Gherardi, c. 1560 (Sala di Cosimo I, Palazzo Vecchio)

This is what Uranus sounds like.

Don’t laugh, it’s science.

Wait For It?

For the 62nd day before Halloween, a thought or two-

Photographer Unknown

I can’t wait for-

cool blue skies in the morning

dark gray skies at night

 

I can’t wait for

the leaves on the trees

to burst from green to red to gold

 

I can’t wait for

the arrival of

endless midnights.
