Crossing "the Tens"

Some snippets of crossing into "the Tens". Among the final days of the 1st decade of the 3rd millennium, the sky was burning.

There will always be thorny things in life.

And sometimes you may find "jelly fishes" on the ground.

You picked one up, but it didn't tickle at all, unlike these brushy things.

Flower, fungus, fruits - facts of life, a cycle of renewal and decay.

This was the last picture I took in 2009, a slow but determined snail.

This was the first picture I took in 2010, a blue moon an hour after midnight.

On the first day of "the Tens" ducks bathed in the shower and sang in the rain.

The floodgates of heaven opened.

A frog peered out from the safety of its churning drain.

And raindrops, trickling down a leafless branch, crystallizing the moment of a new decade.

Soon the rain departs. I didn't go hunting for rainbows.
