Get outside. Watch the sunrise. Watch the sunset. How does that make you feel? Does it make you feel big or tiny? Because there's something good about feeling both. Amy Grant
C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) or Comet NEOWISE is a long period comet with a near-parabolic orbit discovered on March 27, 2020, by astronomers during the NEOWISE mission of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope. At that time, it was an 18th-magnitude object, located 2 AU (300 million km; 190 million mi) away from the Sun and 1.7 AU (250 million km; 160 million mi) away from Earth.
NEOWISE is known for being the brightest comet in the northern hemisphere since Comet Hale–Bopp in 1997. It was widely photographed by professional and amateur observers and was even spotted by people living near city centers and areas with light pollution. While it was too close to the Sun to be observed at perihelion, it emerged from perihelion around magnitude 0.5 to 1, making it bright enough to be visible to the naked eye. Under dark skies, it could be seen with the naked eye and remained visible to the naked eye throughout July 2020. By July 30, the comet was about magnitude 5, but binoculars were required near urban areas to locate the comet.
For observers in the northern hemisphere, the comet could be seen on the northwestern horizon, below the Plough or Big Dipper. North of 45 degrees north, the comet was visible all night in mid-July 2020. On July 30, Comet NEOWISE entered the constellation of Coma Berenices, below the bright star Arcturus. (Wikipedia.)

“Red Rock Canyon Star Trails with a Joshua Tree in the Foreground...” From the California High Desert. Used StarStax to stack over 120 shots pointing at the North Star (Polaris). It was great to escape the city for a bit.
You might remember this tree from one of my former photographs. The tree is the same, but the weather conditions are completely different. Check out the older version as well: www.flickr.com/photos/153534027@N06/40614862283/in/datepo...

Third in a series. I went on a quick drive into the Wasatch Mountains following a storm. I hiked up a frigidly cold stream in my tennis shows and stood in the just-melted run off for 20 minutes to get this image. Strangely, I never felt the cold. A three image panorama.

Well yes that's the question
When Aiko suggests that we need a break and something nice to eat, he stops
Licks his mouth while watching me
He makes sure that I'm seeing him
Whenever he sees a picnic table like this, he jumps upon it, ready for omnoms
So mind you, all you picnic people out there, that puts your food straight on the table.....
There are dirty paws on the table
Spiders you can't see
Lots of other stuff you don't even want to think of is there too
Yup, down the hatch
So here he is on the table
I'm obviously too slow to understand him, or respond
So he is now begging for treats
And in my head he is praying too
You know that it's important that you think positive when you're looking at the stuff you are about to eat or drink?
That's the same as giving it a blessing
Your body will respond with joy and say Yippi; I'm going to have this lovely piece of food and devour it with good conscience
You are giving the food a good energy by thinking positive and we need good energy when we are eating and drinking
We need a good atmosphere both outside our body
And inside
It's pretty logic really
And you need to focus
Don't surfe too much on social media or deep dive into newspapers and books when you are eating
You eat way too much when you do that, because you aren't aware of your body's signals
We really don't need much, if you dare thinking about it
And, yes
Positive thinking works for chocolate too
I have tested this many times
lol
If you are having bad conscience because you are thinking that you don't deserve it, or it's not healty enough for you or whatever, you will add negative thoughts and negative energy to what you are about to eat
All the good stuff that is inside your food is wasted by this kind of thinking
So quit that
Think positive even here
It's so important
Call it bless the food if you want
I call it thinking positive
"This is good for me"
Enjoy your next meal with this in your mind if you want, I can guarantee that you'll feel better and maybe you don't even feel for taking more on your plate
Mouth of the Maurice River, Heislerville, New Jersey.
The East Point Light, known as the Maurice River Light before 1913, is a lighthouse located in Heislerville, New Jersey on the Delaware Bay at the mouth of the Maurice River in Maurice River Township, Cumberland County, New Jersey, United States. The lighthouse was built in 1849 and is the second oldest in New Jersey, with only the Sandy Hook Light, which was built in 1764, being older. The light was inactive from 1941 and was nearly destroyed by fire in 1971. The light was reinstated by the United States Coast Guard in 1980. Exterior restoration was completed in 1999.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 1995 for its significance in engineering, maritime history, and transportation. It became part of the Maurice River Lighthouse and East Point Archeological District on October 30, 2015. The lighthouse was just recently fully restored, both the exterior and interior work was completed in 2017. The lighthouse is now both an active navigational aid and a year-round museum open to the public for tours and special events throughout the year.
STATUS
The light is said to be critically endangered due to erosion. Although local governments routinely shore up the property's perimeter, using 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) sand bags and bulldozers, the lighthouse is a mere 40 yards (37 m) from the shore. During storms the surf is 10 yards (9.1 m) from its front steps. A rally to save the lighthouse was held in the fall of 2018. Since then more sandbags have been added, paid for by the State of New Jersey and using the sandbags available the sandbag seawall was rebuilt by coordinated efforts of both the Maurice River Township and Cumberland County Road Departments. A geotube system is planned to be installed the summer of 2019 by the State of New Jersey to help hold the point and protect the lighthouse until more lasting measures can be taken (Wikipedia.)
