Happy National Poetry Month!
Can a headless horseman read poetry? Actor Christopher Walken once played Ichabod Crane‘s nemesis in Tim Burton‘s adaptation of Sleepy Hollow. The video embedded above features Walken reading Edgar Allan Poe‘s The Raven.
Poe fans will see the poet on the big screen in January 2012. The Raven, starring John Cusack, just finished shooting and is currently in post-production.

As I was driving home the other grey, overcast day, I noticed a crow on the side of the road.
Living in the Pacific Northwest as I do, neither grey skies nor crows are an unusual sight,
but as I looked up past the crow, there were some more over to the right.... ...and even more to the left....
...and *more* fluttering eerily overhead...
I must say there was some looking-over-my-shoulder on the way home...

I think I'll stick to Poe. At least he has only one 'nevermore' raven, rather than a Hitchcockian 'murder' of crows......

For the month of October, sometimes November, the Blood Moon or Hunter's Moon is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon after the Autumn equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. What is special about the Blood Moon and Harvest Moons? They rise later from one night to the next which lessens the period of darkness from sunset and moonrise.
Therefore, during the Hunter's Moon, hunters track their prey by Autumn moonlight, and during the Harvest Moon, farmers could continue to work their fields, both storing up food for the winter ahead, thereby earning their special names.
For this year, Hunter's Moon will rise Friday, Oct 26th. At 12:52 the moon will be full, EST. Seven hours later, it will be closest to the earth. This will be the largest and brightest full moon for 2007!
Too bad it couldn't light the way for Trick-or-Treaters at Halloween in just a few days!

they are attracted to paranoia!
Funny thing is, they are sailing past my window too, an ocean and a continent away! Funny? Spooky, that is, isn't it? And they seem to be "hooded crows", as one of my sweet visitors has pointed out to me.
They are having a crow caucus...ok, bad pun, but someone had to say it! :)
For awhile in our town, the crows would pick a spot to stay and stay for a long time. There would be hundreds! It was very much like a Hitcock moment1 If nothing else, you didn't want to walk on the sidewalk!
One especially brutal winter I was walking through the local cemetery and I noticed a massive number of mangy vultures weighing down a tree. I went over to investigate. Beneath the tree was a partially consumed carcass . . . a deer. A thin layer of new snow covered the untouched parts like someone had pulled a sheet partly over the deceased. Two hours later I passed by again and the deer was gone. Consumed by nature.
Not so much Poe or Hitchcock, more Steven King I think.
Now would an artist take pictures of such a gruesome sight? I did.
PS: My wife got her middle name from "The Raven." Her parents liked Poe.
I think they are gorgeous birds :) Didn't realize how small they are compared to Ravens though. Ravens are huge o.0
Looks like it's the annual crow family gathering for Thanksgiving... :)
By 'Steven King' of course I meant the English artist/naturalist, not the horror author Stephen King . . . unless I'm just stupid.
I expect they got fed up with Ellen continually doing their portraits and hopped across the border!
