Born to two humans, I have two prodigies who are also (coincidentally) human. I am the missing link. Look under "Sausage" and you'll find me. Not a good writer. But I love to laugh. So I read more than I write. I drink a fair bit too but that is irrelevant.

A tribute to Spotted_Mind's Nigel

Rate: 12 Flag

I find this such a huge coincidence. Last night I was flying over northern Saskatchewan and this full moon started to creep above the horizon. My first thought was of the post that Spotted_Mind had done with the picture of the moon so I snapped a few photos. Now you have to remember this picture was taken at 37,000 feet through heated windows that are about 1" thick, so the quality is horrible. But it just seemed so fitting that as Spotted_Mind was spending her last evening with Nigel that the moon that Spotted loves so much, chose to present itself... in it's fullness.

And as a tribute to Nigel too, I'd like to post a picture I took in Florida this past summer.

Our thoughts are with you, Spotted_Mind.

Chris you're so sweet. I just hung up the phone with my Mom and stopped at the pc to see...this.
It's funny how people here on OS invade our thoughts and touch our lives...in a good way. :-)
I barely slept last night and spent most of it petting Nigel, watching him sleep and periodically going outside to smoke and gaze off at the sky...
Thank you for this.
To Nigel *raises glass with JK*
*spotted... words are so inadequate at times like this. Hopefully a couple of pictures can help convey how we feel.
*WSFTC and Nick... thanks. It was an amazing coincidence that the full moon was last night.
*JK and Owl... >
I must say, I've come back several times to view...
If you look at enough photos of the Moon you will see its "face." In your photo--see in the upper right side, the round circle/spot???
Fascinating. I've always wanted to see a series taken from the same spot progressively...
btw...great photos--especially the Moon from the airplane!
awesome picture of the moon -- I'm going to try that next time I fly.

beautiful moon to remember Nigel by.
*Spotted... I actually took about 6 pictures. I think this one's about the best. One of them looks like it might be an alien. I'll be in the air quite a bit over the next few days. I'll see if I can get some progressive ones as it fades away.
*skeletnwmn... Timing is everything. Or at least that's what my kids keep telling me.
Beautiful moon! Same one hanging over the crest of Crested Butte! Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
The moon and the sun... What more could a cat ask? =o)

Nice tribute! I hope Nigel is curled up in a sunny window in the afterlife right now, having a pleasant nap with my Isadora.
Sigh. Cry. God Bless you Nigel.
This is just lovely. More than that, it shows incredibly kindness and sensitivity on your part.
*Joan... nothing beats a full moon over snow covered mountains. Well... except looking at it from the hot tub with my Bubba Mug of rum.
*Chicago guy... thanks. One of life's little coincidences.
*Shiral... That's all a kitty needs, huh? Oh... and maybe a bit of milk.
*Deborah... I think (s)he is.
*O'Really?... See? I keep telling everyone that the whole Brianna episode is so... passe. Is my halo tilting?
Glad I found this post and sorry i missed it Chris.
So lovely.
