colander pinhole eclipses

April 8, 2024. 11:11- 11:17 AM. San Francisco, CA.

Best we could do from here-- Solar eclipse as viewed through the pinhole images of the sun from my colander and the spaces between the leaves of the tree out front.
(The birds also got very noisy for a moment)

Ides of March and St. Patrick's Day Sandwich

March 16, 2024. Sunrise and Sunset 7:18. San Francisco, CA.
Happy Equilux 2024! Allow me to be the bearer of some good news :)

Today is the day- Equal time for light and darkness- (unlike the Equinox) We will be accelerating towards the Summer Solstice from here--

Normally the Spring Equilux falls tomorrow on the 17th of March. However, with the extra day inserted for the leap year-- IT'S TODAY- the 16th of March- sandwiched between the Ides of March and St. Patrick's Day-

You may notice that I identified the date for the sunrise this morning as March 18th. I am not at my most reliable in the morning but none-the-less enthusiastic-- I apologize for spreading the confusion.

DID YOU SEE THE FLARE?!? (0:25 already lit up - 0:32 shrinks)

FYI and pleasure - This is the 5th Leap Year for the dailybell. We are still at it every sunrise and sunset-- Though a bit behind in the posting, here's our recent multi-site sunset observance from the leap day- Our neighbor Tony leaping upon request out front on the sidewalk as I drive home still several miles away-
Counting our blessings

Happy New Year- NOT

January 1, 2024 Midnight What started as the usual- head outside at midnight to listen to the change as we cross over the time line from one year to the next- transformed from celebration to anguish and anger. I didn’t realize this protest was planned this was what I saw and heard at midnight: https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/12/26/18861396.php

Song A Day for a Month New Year's Offering by Alex Wand

----------
Crumbled rock and petroglyphs,
We kept the law but forgot the myth,
So we stare into the dark with no candles lit,

Until the sun comes up over the horizon
The sun over the horizon brings in
A wondrous new year, light of all lights
And bells of brass and silver are ringing when the
The sun comes up over the horizon.

The story goes that the water split,
And the darkest night was the greatest gift,
But somewhere along the line, we went adrift.

Still every year,

The sun comes up over the horizon
The sun over the horizon brings in
A wondrous new year, light of all lights
And bells of brass and silver are ringing when
The sun comes up over the horizon.

And this morning Jessica and I were ringing our bells right at sunrise, 7 am.

-Alex Wand

With hope and love as the new year dawns.

Happy New Year!

My friend Tina has sustained a quiet and still practice of being with the morning as it stirs. I love this series, and Tina has graciously allowed me to share it--
With hope and love as the new year dawns
- Brenda

from Tina-
Sending you dark-to-light time greetings and love.
Here are some sunrises from my homelands, where I was from August until Dec 15. Every morning I did a pre-dawn walk along the lake (Rainy Lake), sometimes taking photos of the sunrise.
These are from some mornings November and December when I had either my cell phone or small Canon or both. I always thought of you and imagined bells across the lands.
Sorry no sounds, just listening
