Here is the latest addition to our family. He is roughly 4-5 months old and his name is Apollo.
A week ago, he was found shivering inside the guts of my friend's car, looking for warmth. After many unsuccessful attempts to find his rightful owners, he came home with us to his new home last night.
He is the most affectionate little critter I have seen in my days. I barely slept last night with him running his little motor non-stop right by my head.
You are going to see a lot more of this little guy. He was a total champ in front of the camera as well. I wasn't sure how he would feel having a couple speedlights being triggered in his face but he didn't seem to mind.
To light this, it's actually only one speedlight through a white umbrella at low power just off camera-right. Tashia behind giving him a rub in his face to keep him calm.
the girls put on a play about apollo and artemis for me today. it was only 80 degrees. bliss.

This is the first photograph taken of Earthrise taken by a human as he watched the event unfold. Interestingly, it is not the image that has become iconic over the years by virtue of the fact it is monochrome. Two colour photographs taken in a minute or so will become the images that are favourite of photo editors around the world. Note how close the Earth is to the lunar horizon. We are looking across the middle of Pasteur, a large degraded mini-basin at 224-km diameter. The lighting renders its rim invisible but the distinct crater in the central foreground is Pasteur G. A cluster of craters at the top of the frame are centred around Pasteur U.]
[We have presented this photograph in an unconventional orientation with the Moon's horizon vertical. On Earth, the convention for a sunrise or moonrise shot is to have the horizon running left to right. Bill Anders has said that this is how he see this image. They were orbiting around the Moon's equator and with north being to the top, Earth came out from behind a vertical horizon. ]
The first of these two images is likely the photograph that has become an icon for environmental groups around the world. It manages to contrast the rugged, hostile, barren landscape of the Moon with the dynamic, colourful life-giving sphere of the Earth.]
[So who took the famous Earthrise photograph? Bill Anders had always been sure he had taken it, and strictly speaking he had, as it is quite clear he did take the two colour images. Yet, in his book, Countdown, Frank Borman claims that the famous colour image was taken by him.]
[There are competing theories to explain this difference which were laid out in an article and subsequent letters in The Sciences magazine on the thirtieth anniversary of the flight by Robert Zimmerman, author of Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, and Andrew Chaikin, author of A Man on the Moon. Both of these historians agree that Bill took the two colour images and can take credit for the famous image. But who took the first black and white image? The controversy hinges on the identity of the speaker at 075:47:30 who expresses astonishment at the sight of the rising Earth. If the transcripts are correct and it is Frank, then it seems likely that he actually took the early B+W image by grabbing the camera Bill had been using and firing off a shot while Bill jokingly admonishes him for carrying out unscheduled photography. If, on the other hand, the utterance at 075:47:30 is made by Bill then it seems likely that he had kept the camera as Frank was rotating the spacecraft, spotted the rising Earth and fired off a shot before getting Jim to help him.]
[The unfortunate fact about this controversey is that Frank and Bill have very similar voices and it can often be difficult to distinguish between them. When possible, we will make a recording of the moment available to readers so they can judge for themselves.]
[As the crew are enjoy an historic view of their home planet, the other Hasselblad in its mounting is still photographing the landscape below.

This was what drew me to Titusville and Space View Park, last night, July 16, 2019, the 50th anniversary of the #Apollo11 launch.
Meet the Apollo monument. According to the American Space Museum & Space Walk of Fame website, "the monument groundbreaking was held on July 16, 1999, at precisely 9:32 a.m., exactly 30 years after 'Lift Off' of Apollo XI."
So, this was where I decided I would capture the rise of the Full Moon, exactly 50 years (plus 11 hours) after "Lift Off" of Apollo XI.
I arrived a few minutes before moonrise, but I failed to account for how dense the trees were in the background, which meant I needed to wait until the Moon was higher in the sky. This is 35 minutes after moonrise and 40 minutes after sunset, and the monument isn't lit, which meant the scene was quite dark. Solution: My rarely used speedlight. But, there were also powerlines and tree branches in the way, so really didn't like anything I was getting.
After a 24-hour cooling off period (I was rather frustrated with the scene last night; the gazillion mosquitoes weren't helping my mood, either) I revisited the images and found this one. The monument isn't in focus (I had to shoot closer than I intended), and the Moon is partially obscured (by a tree and aforementioned monument), but here it is.
Aside from the mosquitos, it was a pretty terrific being there, and I was able to hang around to catch the ISS flying overhead a few minutes later.
TL;DR: #Apollo50!
On the precinct of the Temple of Apollo, this replica of the bronze statue of Apollo, bow missing, stands where the original was found when the site was excavated. In the background, Vesuvius looms. Lots of red poppies and alyssum were in bloom.
The Apollo is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals. It's rare and endangered in Norway, so I feel so lucky having the opportunity to photographed it.

Photo prise par William Anders au cours de la mission Apollo 8 le 24 décembre 1968. Cette photo iconique a été baptisée "Lever de Terre".

Beneath delicately arched ridged brows the Piraeus Apollo has horizontal eyes, the upper lid curving above the iris. Both iris and pupil are incised, a feature that is occasionally found on marble works where paint was used to point up the details. The large plastic ears are naturalistic, with both tragus and antitragus shown. The ears are rendered as if they are being pushed out by the bulging mass of thick hair pulled behind them.
