For all opportunities
To witness beauty...

I went swimming yesterday for the first time this year.
It was sunny, 85°F / 29.4°C.
While sunning, I looked at the sky and saw this:

Later, as the sun started to set,
it glowed on these hibiscus shrubs...

Blood Moon Eclipse

Approx. 6:20am, EST

It was still dark out-
I lean'd on a palm tree to see
The full moon turn red...

Meladramas is 23!

I got my eyes checked
and got new glasses.
I wear sunglasses most of the time,
with prescription lenses...
These new ones have lighter, gradient tinted lenses.
The frames are designed by Ani of Israel.

This is my second pair from this designer-
I love the look,
it suits me...
