ocean grab

When a person is in an ocean & the riptide & undertow get them.

Damn! When I experienced ocean grab it scared the living Hell outta me! I was lucky & got out of it!

twilight

It occurs at dusk & dawn; the darking up & the lightening up of the sky.

I Love twilight; it's the 2nd & 3rd most favorite times of day/night for me!

Green Flash

Looking West, at the Ocean, just at sunset when the last part of the Sun dips below the horizon, there's a brilliant green flash, similar in color to the green seen thru prisms. It lasts less than 1 second. A rarely~seen natural phenomena!

I was fortunate to see the Green Flash at the Cliff House at San Francisco, California. Only later did I learn that it's rare to see this!

Popeye car

A car with only 1 headlight on, like Popeye The Sailor Man cartoon.

Full Moon

When Earth's natural satellite is a perfect circle.

Full Moon is a wonderful time for binocular & telescope viewing. When On the Moon, at New Moon when it's barely visible or not at all, it's Full Earth! The Earth goes thru cycles from the Moon just like it does!

howling at the Moon

Baying as wolves & coyotes do; also werewolves; giving Honor to the Moon by howling.

Every full Moon, you'll find me howling at the Moon. A primal instinct since wolves are my Spirit Animals. I love to hear the wolves howling at the Moon!
