I got shots of the Super Blue Moon tonight! So named because it is a blue moon (meaning there are two in one month), and super because the moon is much closer to the earth than usual. This won't happen again till sometime in the 2030's. We watched it rise over the mountains.
And for those of you who wanted an actual blue moon, I made that happen.
It has been quite awhile since I have posted a "Through The Wires Thursday." Tonight we went out to snap the super blue moon, but it was too cloudy to see it. But all was not lost, as there was a beautiful sunset. The entire time, we were driving, so all these wires were in the way.

I took these shots several years ago. Coneflowers must be a favorite of bees!

According to the Cleveland Clinic, if you laid out all of the blood vessels in the circulatory system, they would be about 60,000 miles long! Yes, I could hardly believe it! My pic and header are both from the web. Here is the blood vessel network.

The Grape Hyacinths have just finished blooming. I always love seeing them, as blue flowers are kind of rare.
Not technically a true hyacinth, this
plant has a gorgeous flower color and is often used to adorn walkways and other
ornamental areas. Grape hyacinths are a type of spring-flowering
bulb that produces clusters of deep blue or purple flowers.
This was just after the sunset this evening. to be followed later by a storm. You can see the Appalachian Mountains in this post.

We live right by a couple of rivers, so kayaking is real big here. There are a lot of places around that sell them, and you see them driving by people's yards and garages. I think they make a bright and colorful yard decoration!
This one has a propeller on the end!
And this one was so hidden that I almost missed it. But on second look, I think it is a regular boat.

Just some beautiful Peonies with the sun shining on them. But wait a minute!! I found these in front of the Garden Center. But it is only right now, as I look closer, that I see they are not real!!! Look at the edges, they have some fraying and are fabric!! Plus you can see the weave in the fabric. Well, I NEVER! But I do wish I knew how much they cost.

White peonies
blooming along the porch
send out light
while the rest of the yard grows dim.
Outrageous flowers as
big as human
heads! They’re staggered
by their own luxuriance: I had
to prop them up with stakes and twine.
The moist air
intensifies their scent,
and the moon moves around the barn
to find out what it’s coming from.
In the darkening June
evening
I draw a blossom near, and bending close
search it as a woman
searches
a loved one’s face.

For those of you who asked, my friend's surgery was a hip replacement, and she is home now and doing well. The Crepe Myrtles have been in bloom! Here are the pink ones.
