Thank goodness for LIVE PHOTOGRAPHY LV mode to sneak photos in a public place.

With autumn almost ending and winter is coming, not much subjects that can be used to photograph in our garden.

She was shooting EVERYTHING, and it reminded me of when I got my SLR in December, because I did the same thing (I just liked the sound of the shutter...wait, I still do!)

Cane Colvert (Female Mallard) au plumage isabelle (plus clair que la moyenne), fugueuse ou hybride!?! Chose certaine, il est plus que probable qu'il y ait du canard domestique là-dedans.

De tout temps, les humains se sont nourris des œufs et de la chair du Canard colvert. Il existe aussi depuis longtemps une variété domestique de cet oiseau, lequel est aussi à l’origine de nombreuses autres races de canards domestiques, dont le plumage brillant trahit la descendance. Le Colvert n’est pas seulement utile : ce magnifique oiseau fait aussi la joie de nombreux amateurs de plein air. L’ornithologue amateur connaît peu de spectacles aussi fascinants que celui des Colverts qui, les pattes tendues, cherchent à se poser au printemps sur les premières eaux libres.

My very QRV "end times" radio. Works great on CW! When this radio was first introduced Lyndon Johnson was President and I was 3 years old. This is how radio amateurs keep it real old skool!

Best viewed LARGE.

Click on the image to Zoom In & Out on the Bubble Nebula. The "Bubble" is tagged in the image.

A widefield LRGB and SHO (SII+Ha+OIII) Narrowband image of the Bubble and Lobster Claw Nebula. The Bubble Nebula is also know as NGC 7635, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11 (a H II region emission nebula) in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the open star cluster Messier 52.

Also take a look at a closer view of the Bubble Nebula.

The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575 (BD+60°2522). The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.

The Lobster Claw Nebula (Sharpless 157), is a bright emission nebula, and is clearly visible at the bottom right.

Today marks the 39th anniversary of my first contact in this incredible hobby.

It was made on 40 meters cw.

I guess I'm becoming what is known as an OT or an old timer.

It simply doesn't seem possible this amount of time has flown by but it has.

I will try to stay up long enough to duplicate it tonite as I do each year, same time, same frequency or thereabouts.

My Gear For The First Contact Was:

Rig: Ten Tec Century 21 25W Output

Key: J38 Straight Key

Antenna: 40m Dipole up ~25 Feet

Have a great weekend!
