the moon
stopped at tourneau
last night
to pick up
my just repaired
time piece
it took
forflippinever
to write up the charge
confusion
likely due
to
having to figure out
how to deduct
the cost
of the battery/cleaning
i paid for
in May
from
the cost of repairing
my
25+ year old Concord Saratoga
time piece
love
calling it
a
time piece
it was hot in the store
by the time
she returned
with my receipt and warranty
i had practically undressed
peeling off
layers
worn for the frigid temps
she said
put this somewhere safe
i thought
i should tell her
i will put them with my stock certificates
but
she wouldnt get the 'joke'
(i dont have the physical stock certificates for the very real stock i own)
as
i exited
the shop
i looked
up
yup
a not quite full moon
yup
no camera
yup
pulled off my glove
whipped out the iPhone
snap
gotchya!
Enjoy !

it's a gorgeous shot. i love the idea that you have a 25 year old time piece.
ReplyDeleteGotcha! Love it! As you've already seen in IG, I, too, captured the moon. I was excited about the result because of the clouds.
ReplyDeleteI love my iphone and don't know how I ever lived without it!! Since I got it...my little Canon hasn't left my office! Great capture!!
ReplyDeletegorgeous shot! yes, be sure to keep the warranty with the certificates:)
ReplyDeleteI've been doing photos with my little Minox camera and my phone, since didn't want to carry the biggie around in the rain/snow....although my daughter bought me a camera 'raincoat' but I haven't opened it yet.... I need a new watch, you reminded me.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a "timepiece." Taking it to the shop and have the repair order figured out and then picking it up weeks later and more paperwork and then repeating in a few years. Didn't work for me.
ReplyDeleteFab foto!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite 'time piece' is a gold watch which belonged to my mother. I had to have it fixed just one and it works perfectly. :)
ReplyDeleteGood thing you never leave home without the iPhone Daryl, this is exactly how our moon looks right now...almost full!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like shattered moon fragments are lighting up the tree.
ReplyDeletethe moon along with the sparkly tree make for a beautiful sight
ReplyDeleteSince I got my new iPhone, I am taking lots more "on the fly" photos and really enjoying it. Videos too! In spite of it being very cold, it looks like a beautiful night.
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteDaryl, you amaze me with your iPhone photos! I really like this one!
ReplyDeleteThat really IS a good iPhone pic. Love the ghost tree too on your other channel :). Your stories are lovely. I picked up that it is officially cold there. Get those layers back on!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNIce! thank goodness for the iphone!
ReplyDeleteI was out and about a few days ago and had to peel off some layers too. Good thing I had my HUMONGO purse with me to stuff my discarded wardrobe into.
ReplyDeleteLove this shot!
LOL I got the stock certificate joke. Nice capture to save the evening.
ReplyDeleteI so wish I had been there...I would have prompted you to blurt out the 'stock cert' comment and I would have roared all the way down the block. In fact, I'm still laughing! Great post, cool photo!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to imagine the guys who were paid to install all of those lights on that tree. Unless you grow them that way in the Big Apple? Just me again, missing the point but certainly not missing the beauty. :)
ReplyDeleteWell done! This is gorgeous! This full moon has been leaving me breathless each time I see it!
