Gasping moonlight signals through a cloudy ocean beard.
Still bodies of flies and dragonflies glint, clinging to the cool, glass skin of dimming florescent lights.
Beneath an orange orb of sodium vapour the glinting lawn looks like a nest of razorblades.
Crickets loom slick and black with the dank breath of December fog nestled on their backs.
They sound like coughing hinges, tonight.
A Day in the Brine 
Love the fly. Fab post.
Thank you. He posed beautifully for me, even as I clattered around with my old paint-splotched ladder, as I am a shrimp, attempting to get closer and closer…until the lens was nestled right against his lovely compound eye. It was fabulous. The dragonflies were less obliging and kept whirling just out of reach. A gecko watched pensively from a dark crevice above, wishing I would buzz off so he could snap up my model for dinner…Thanks for oozing by and having a wee look! Cheers,

Thanks so much! š
That eye photo…kapow! Wow-good!
Thanks so much! The model was a bit disgruntled when I suddenly catapulted into the room and began poking lenses in his face, bugling “HOLD STILL!” Must have been rather jarring for him, wrenching him from his placid state of reading…perhaps that is why the eye looks a bit surprised…hum…
Anyhow, thanks so much for the groovy comment and for drizzling by! Cheers,

stunning photos!! magical weave of words! -gasping moonlight!!! dank breath of December fog!
Har har, thanks so much! That is just the sort of night it was! I love these foggy December nights š Florida’s snow- mist and hoary white fog- at least, by the sea. Thank you for oozing by and leaving behind such kind words! Cheers,
AJ Smiling Toad
