The Stone Angel


I went out to the side yard and set up my new telescope for looking at the sun. It has a special filter on it that only passes the line of Hydrogen alpha light. It allows me to see prominences on the sun, and all kinds of detail on our nearest star. I digress. So while setting up the telescope, I happened to glance over at the garden, and saw the stone angel sitting there. She is usually surrounded by the flowers and plants in the garden. She seems so lonely here, sitting on the bare ground with not a plant in sight. I will feel better when she begins to be surrounded by green again.

  1. You can see angels with your telescope? That might be considered voyeurism.
