Cheesy Moon Collage

                                              "I can remember walking on the moon."
                     (Alan Bean 1932- Nasa astronaut, 4th person to walk on the moon)
                                                             Moon at 500x May 31, 2015
   When the moon is this big I really do believe all those stories about it being made out of cheese.
                                                            All I need are crackers.
                                  "No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky" ( Bob Dylan 1941-)
                           Mt. Washington at 500x. In May, most of the snow has disappeared.
                                    Mt. Washington in June, last bit of snow pack ready to fall away.
                                                             Reminds me of snow cones.
                                   May 31st, more distance with the moon. It still looks like cheese.
                                 
                                             Thunderstorm marching in at a slow pace.
                                     Just waiting for the rain to come thundering down.
                             "Thank God that man cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well the earth.
                                                           ( H.D. Thoreau 1917-1862)
                                             Well, isn't that prophetic or what? Good old Thoreau.
                          Concord grapes growing in the shadow of Mt Washington. Before the storm.
                                   Thunderstorm finally making its mark.
                                                    The sound of rain pounds into the ground.
                                                Same moon, May 31st, at farthest distance.
                                   No longer looks like cheese. More like a Ritz cracker.
                              Then finally, that same night before the moon appeared,
                           a sunset  that looks like a soft boiled egg  being poached in its own  meringue.
                                       Or a ball of cheese, melting  for a grilled cheese sandwich.
                                                  Makes you kind of hungry doesn't it?
