We had a big rain here two days ago and got about two inches and an electric display. The rain helps with the, hopefully, resolving drought. Since the rain, we have had lovely weather with temps in the sixties, a little too warm for late November. I don’t think there has been a frost here yet.
It was clear for the super moon. I tweaked the camera settings and got a nice hand-held shot.
We heard Aida Tuesday night at the Met. It’s a gorgeous production with great, carved deities, stone temples and live horses in the triumphal march, my favorite scene. Liudmyla Monastyrska, a Ukrainian soprano, sang the title role. She has pipes powerful enough to wake the pharaohs and rock the opera house. There were some empty seats, but the audience loved it, there were ‘bravas’ and a standing O.
Before the opera we had dinner with Richard and Elaine at Café Fiorello. Last night we had diner with Bill in Chatham, and today I go back to Lincoln Center to meet old friend Dr. Donald for lunch.
Fiery burning bush.
Red burning bush and orange chokecherry.
More burning bushes. [I know they're a non-native, but they feed a lot of birds.]
My shot of the super moon. [Hand held, BTW.]
Curtain call with standing O for the cast and conductor of Aida. Liudmyla Monastyrka is in blue.
