edible cactus, Rivenrock Gardens logo.

These photos were taken during the meteor shower in Fall 2002.
All were taken with a 35 mm camera set up with a time exposure of about one minute.
This is why it looks like daytime, but they were actually taken at 2 AM during a full moon.

Our front yard bathed in moonlight.

BLACK EYED MAN
~Cowboy Junkies~

Yes your honour I do solemnly swear
that I saw him late last night,
dancing barefoot, bathed in light
and reaching for every star in sight
Yes I did go to him,
but completely against my will
and yes he did things to me
things of which I dream of still

Black eyed man I'm warning you
what I say is what you'll do
to hell with love and truth

I always meant to say I'm sorry
for all the things I said and did
"I'm Sorry," I feel better now, do you?
But you promised me the sky
and fell short a star or two
But what else did you expect me to do?

Black eyed man he took the blame
for the poisoned well
They found his shoes by the pulley
They found his fingerprints all over the pail
And with a noose around his neck,
cicadas trilling everywhere,
he says to the people gathered round him,
'it ain't the water that's not right around here'

Black eyed man I'm thirsty dear
be a love and bring some water here
drawn fresh from the well.

A view of a shooting star (meteor) from Rivenrock hill looking South over the south facing terraces!
This is one of the few photos that came out with a meteor visible.
The full moon bathed the sky in so much light that the meteor shower while spectacular, could not compete with Luna Moon.

A view of the full moon in all its' silvery brilliance, passing lunar moon-waves to the south-facing rocks of the Rivenrock terraces.
