the shadows of an afternoon walk


Unintentionally, I seem to have captured the shadows of a pregnant lamppost.  Plus some bougainvillea, and its accompanying leaves; all projected onto a weirdly colored pale lime green wall.  

Jolted just now by a 3.9 earthquake, which did everything it was meant to do (loud boom; sound as if a train was rushing into the house; windows rattling alarmingly). Gramsci fled; I dived under the dining room table; Moth carried on eating, and Alice "wasn't sure what that was."  I guess Grammy and I come across as the novices, here ...

  1. Another earthquake! Interesting how the intensity of the quake can feel different to the residents of the same house... Moth is unshakeable!

  2. Indeed! Moth is ... a boulder. I don't think I'd have been nearly as aware of the shaking if I hadn't been closer to the living room, where the windows were rattling hard - the house is pretty securely bolted. But the roaring sound was scary ...
