Once In A Blue Starfish

Wow, it’s Winter Solstice and I haven’t managed a blog post since the end of Summer. I’ve had a busy fall of teaching, finishing my trip along the Gulf Coast and working hard to get my images from the trip edited, developed and printed. I’m hoping to be printing and publishing work from The Gulf Project by the end of January.

I took a break from the Gulf yesterday to explore the tide pools of the California coast at Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego. I love tidepools! This interesting being was lingering on a rock at the water’s edge. I’ve never seen a blue starfish before! Have you? The naturalist who was hanging out with guidebook in hand didn’t know of this rare being either.

Just a quick thought on another once a blue event – Winter Solstice tomorrow: It is the first winter solstice since 1638 that coincides with a full eclipse of the moon and probably the only one in my lifetime – the next one will be in 2094. I don’t think I’ll get to see it though – it’s storming like crazy here in San Diego where I’ll be tomorrow night. Those of you who will have clear skies might want to find out what time it’s happening where you are and get out and enjoy a view of the winter solstice full moon… and let me know how it was.

May winter bring you renewal and great inspirations for this next year.

Namaste,

Memphis
