February Sunset
Rose Arizmendi (C) 2008
“The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within.”
- William C. Bryant
“I stood beside a hill

A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.
There was not other creature
That saw what I could see,

Lots of people turned out to view the lunar eclipse tonight, the last total lunar eclipse until December 21, 2010. I wanted to try and take some photos, but I couldn’t get a good shot.
I started this piece today, but was feeling a little under the weather so I put it aside for another [...]
