Ring of Fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down

And the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

A solar eclipse casts no aspersions, but it does cast long shadows...

a double exposure to get a better view of the ring as the moon moves between the sun and earth...

in the ring of fire

Harvest

drink up drink up

let me fill your cup

It's October and that means Harvest season...the shadows of the moon...the air is full of fragrances-cinnamon, pumpkin spices, citrus-beautiful! Oh, and the Avocado Fest in Carp this week-end!

There's lobster traps soaking offshore, trucks carrying red and green bell peppers up the highway...and the pumpkin trucks are rolling...the Great Pumpkin!

It all sets me to thinking about a nice Halloween feast with a main course of lobster of course, smothered in clarified butter, avocados-sliced with peppers, some salt and pepper and olive oil...pitchers of lemonade and as an aperitif, some Japanese sake...

add some grilled garlic bread, sopping with butter and chopped garlic..

for dessert, we have pumpkin pie and blueberry pie and super tasty homemade vanilla ice cream on top...mmmmm

afterwards, as the sun is going down, and the warm Santana winds are drifting, we will partake in coffee, Cuban cigars, and the finest liquors- Brandy de Jerez, Calvados and Pisco...

we will let this beautiful season wash all over us!
