Just playing this afternoon.

I had an exciting idea to capture the lunar eclipse over the majestic Teton Mountain range. I set off from home at 2:00 am, determined to arrive at the Snake River Overlook in Grand Teton National Park by 4:30 am, just in time for the eclipse’s totality. However, my calculations of the elevation were off, and the moon was too high in the sky to include the mountains in my shot. To make matters worse, the temperature plummeted to a chilly 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and I struggled with shaky hands and a lack of motivation to stay out of the car and capture a stable image. This experience taught me the importance of being well-prepared for the changing conditions of the sky and the unpredictable weather.

 

In processing this image I did learn that the small bright spot to the left (west) of the Sea of Tranquility is Dionysius crater. This small (11 mile) crater is particularly bright because of it's lighter colored impact ejecta and it is near the Apollo 11 landing site which is just to the southeast in the Sea of Tranquility.

It was one of the last days of the Republic when inside the Galaxies Opera House on Coruscant, during a conversation that would change the course of history, Palpatine defined the Dark Side as a “pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.”

 

Despite all the things that have been said about the Prequel Trilogy, that line is spot on because it perfectly shows the point of view of someone who uses the Dark Side for his own agenda.

 

Many years have been passed since that fateful day and many things are different now.

If we look at current followers of the Dark Side we realize the classic line needs to be updated.

 

As I observe Kylo with his immature rage outbursts and personality disorders I’m sure the updated version of the Palpatine’s line is:

 

“The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some…will never learn”

 

For if the Tantrum Knight is the best among the current Dark Side followers the word “ability” will never be part of their vocabulary.

 

Just look at him: crying for Vader, smashing things with his Lightsaber, that he wasn’t even able to properly build, at the first difficulty. How can he actually learn any those abilities?

 

Once there were the Sith. They were evil but they had charisma.

Now there are the Knights of Ren. They are evil and nothing more.

 

A little parody about Kylo :)

 

I hope you like it :)

 

May the Brick be with You :)

We could learn a lot from dogs.

Not the kind of things that make up a curriculum-

nothing that could be graded, or pass an exam,

but useful things.

How to be happy for no reason,

how to love without diffidence.

How to grab life and squeeze out all the best bits,

of whatever scrap you’ve been flung.

Kassanndra adopted Marnie (named for several horror characters), and Penny (named for Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the cool Tim Curry version), both older dogs, from a Chihuahua rescue.

Unlike the growling, nipping stereotype of this breed, Kassanndra's dogs have been sweet and loving, never yappy or aggressive, always, to everyone.

Kassanndra made me promise, more than once, that if anything happened to her, I would take good care of her dogs.

Marnie used to march around the yard like a big patrol dog making security rounds, but she was moving a little slowly for a couple of days. Still, she was eating, drinking, and irking Penny so I chalked it up to old age finally catching up with her.

She passed away sometime during the night, after she and Penny went to bed.

I'm sure Kassanndra is looking after her again, and has introduced her to her first Chihuahua, Ruby (also a rescue).

R.I.P. Marnie. You're a good girl.

Learn from the past,

set vivid, detailed goals for the future,

and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

This is a cool thing to do ... The Hill Garden & Pergola is a fading-away masterpiece created by the founder of Lever Bros.

 

Thomas Mawson, a then world famous landscape architect, designed it all between 1904 & 1906 when it was completed.

 

Located in the West Heath, parklands west of Hampstead Heath in an area also called Golders Hill Park.

Cochin (zu deutsch Kotschin, von Kotschinchina, frz. Cochinchine, vietnamesisch Nam Kỳ) ist eine alte Haushuhnrasse aus China, die in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts nach Europa gebracht wurde und wegen ihrer Befiederung und ihres Körperbaus, die sich beide stark von traditionellen europäischen Rassen unterschied, schnell auf Begeisterung stieß. Die britische Königin Victoria war in der westlichen Welt einer der ersten Halter von Cochins und hat wesentlich zum Bekanntwerden dieser Rasse beigetragen.

"The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial in Budapest, Hungary. Conceived by film director Can Togay, he created it on the east bank of the Danube River with sculptor Gyula Pauer to give remembrance to the 3,500 people (800 of them Jews) who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen in Budapest during World War II. They were ordered to take off their shoes, and were shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away. It represents their shoes left behind on the bank."

Last winter, we visited Grand Teton NP, for our usual images of wildlife in the snow ... and some winter landscapes as well. We hit various types of weather from blowing blizzard-like snow to gorgeous atypically warmer sunny days. This image was from one of those. See I came across some swans that were taking a leisurely swim in the river. Alongside them were the often overlooked mallards. After some time, my eyes kept returning to the mallards, which were becoming increasingly beautiful to me. This particular one captivated my lens. I just loved the way its head would glisten in the sunrise as it would bob in and out of the water as it foraged for food. Made me realize the power of observation in that as I watched, it became more predictable as to its actions and more intriguing to me. Such a beautiful bird.

 

Happy Weekend everyone. Hope that you have some fun things planned.

This one reminds me of something my friend Krista would do. :) She's so good at light, pastel images.

 

The weather is BEYOND gorgeous here in NJ this week. I don't want it to get humid and hot again but it's coming!! It's been so nice to have the windows open.

Learn from my mistake!

 

This one if from the archives, it was taken at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire in 2007. I posted this photo to demonstrate that it's sometimes necessary to switch over to manual focus from time to time. The lens/camera choose the easy thing to focus, which was the band-aid, but the Newt's head is out of focus. Had I just flipped the switch to manual and moved up 1", I would have gotten a better shot.

 

Any Comments or Critiques are welcome. What else could I have done differently?

 

Edit: This isn't a "Newt" per se, but a lizard known as a Anole. More info here:

First time forgot my camera bag for moon shot due to hurry to beat traffic to the city, so borrowed a backup camera to shoot this. No remote release so blurry. Good thing full moon rise is monthly and much like life there is always another chance called tomorrow. Sometimes you win, sometimes you...learn!
