Lt. Col. James Channon. Amazing army warfare artist and leader. Look him up. He made me an honorary member of ‘The First Earth Battalion’, included me in all Artesia theatre productions, and was, ‘The Men Who State At Goats’ inspiration for Jeff Bridges character in the movie. Miss you Jim. 🎨✨🌴💛🌴✨🎨.
This man, Lt. Colonel James Chanson, was the epitome of an Army War College instructor, artist, clandestine officer and inspiration for the character of Jeff Bridges in ‘Men who Stare at Goats’ movie. Look him up. I am an honorary member the first rank of the First Earth Battalion and a member of the Artesia Theater. Miss him. A unique individual who gave me signed copies of General Pattons book which I gave to my 90 year old friend from WWII Ace who was a fighter pilot. (500 copies were made, period). You never know what life will present. Peace.

Orion sees you! Cropped for a Northern viewpoint! ✌️💛✨💛✌️
The constellation Orion is keeping a watch on you as the ecliptic moves from East to West in our skies. It looks very clear however, there is a veil of vog (volcanic smog) hovering nearby. No wind makes a labored breathing day and night. If it were to rain it would be acid rain. We are grateful for the mugginess rather than rain or snow. Yes, it does snow on the mountains of Hawai’i Island. It’s not the Solstice or March yet.

@scales20.bsky.social I think the local store just doesn’t ‘get it’, so, I took this photo just for you. Disney has no place here … I haven’t seen any other decorations with the mouse except this one. Stay calm. ☺️.
Cellphone photo of Christmas blow up characters with Disney’s Mickey Mouse a few snowman, a Christmas tree, and a little candy cane sign. Mickey is out of place here at the local store.

Orion in ‘center stage’ rising from the East and ‘cropped’ in a way Northerners can easily view ‘him’ amongst the local group of planets and stars. Peace on Earth.

Orion rising from the East cropped in a Northern way to see it easier. It is not the same star formation as it is taken from the tropics. Peace.

Doran, 1922. “… fifteen fairy tales gathered by the Norwegian folklorists Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Engebretsen Moe on their journeys across mid nineteenth-century Norway. Translated into English by George Webbe Dasent (1817–1896)”. (Google). A picture from the book of a young woman riding on a polar bear from the plains into a forest on a white polar bear with beaded tree, and blue sky with a Moon and Star (or planet) above. From the website it appears you can listen to the book. Peace.

Taurus rising to your right. I cropped the photo for a ‘Northern’ point of view. Sweet dreams. (AH) (Handheld).
The constellation Taurus rising from the East above trees. Taurus is on the right hand side. I have cropped the cellphone photo so it can be seen from a Northern Hemisphere perspective rather than its actual rising from the natural ‘Tropic of Cancer’ Perspective. Peace. (AH).

The constellations of Orion and Taurus surrounded by our local group of stars, constellations and planets above trees. While the sky is clear the volcano is going off like crazy and we have an air quality alert of 132.

A mental health break. Keiki nuts! 🥥
Keiki means ‘child’ in Hawaiian. A
Most small people, flora, fauna animals, etc … are referred to as keiki.
Keiki means Child in Hawaiian. This is cellphone photo of two small coconuts found on my driveway walk this morning. Most small people, items, flora, fauna, animals, etc … are often referred to as keiki. These little ones might have young coconut water in them. We’ll see. Stay safe and warm. Peace.

Enlarge to see paraselene (Moon Dog)
Enlarge to see the Full Cold Moon and a bit of Paraselene, or Moon Dog, which is a bit of color ‘caused by moonlight refracting through hexagonal ice crystals in high, thin cirrus clouds’ (Google quote) however, I know you might see a small amount of color or a circular colorful halo around the Moon. Peace.
