Ron and I are both not feeling well. He has gone down to nap, but he normally does that around 1 PM and a lot of days I join him. Ron has been working on the trim for my new “Scotties Play Time Pink Palace”. Ron really has been pushing himself and today I told him enough, he is as tired as I am, we don’t sleep at night and I had another wake up screaming nightmare. Adoptive father was beating adoptive mother and I stupidly tried to stop it and get between them. The rest you don’t need to know except I was drenched in sweat and fear when I bolted from the bed and Ron groggily asked me if I was OK). Plus he found out our old air hose (which is over 20 years old has a serious holes in it which is causing the compressor to keep running running the battery down very quickly). So this’d afternoon while he naps I did the dishes. OT My blood sugar at 4:15 this morning was at 80.
Explanation: In a Finnish myth, when an arctic fox runs so fast that its bushy tail brushes the mountains, flaming sparks are cast into the heavens creating the northern lights. In fact the Finnish word “revontulet”, a name for the aurora borealis or northern lights, can be translated as fire fox. So that evocative myth took on a special significance for the photographer of this northern night skyscape from Finnish Lapland near Kilpisjarvi Lake. The snowy scene is illuminated by moonlight. Saana, an iconic fell or mountain of Lapland, rises at the right in the background. But as the beautiful nothern lights danced overhead, the wild fire fox in the foreground enthusiastically ran around the photographer and his equipment, making it difficult to capture in this lucky single shot.
