Smoke and shadows

The elongated shadows are of our deck railing, behind and above where I crouched down by the fire pit. We I decided, after Dylan's lesson this evening, to roast hotdogs outside, so scurried out to build a fire before all light disappeared. It's a lovely still night, and just now (hours later) I checked to make sure all the embers were out and stood watching stars and planets for awhile. Heard an owl, and earlier a fox barking. Son D. and I compared notes, by text, on the night sky.
