The skinny Waxing Crescent Moon, January 23,2023 at about 6:15 this evening. The sun was just far enough below the horizon that the sky was a deep purple for the exposure values I had set. Two shot composite so I could get the moon and the tree in focus at the same time.
Waxing Gibbous Moon with craters, one of which is called the Copernicus crater which you can see prominently on my photo Copernicus H crater with subtle dark-halo.

We bought Yuki a rubber frisbee to play with and she loves it. When she picks it up and runs it looks like the wax lips we used to buy when I was a kid.

Of the 51 species of wax cap growing in the UK 25 have been found growing at Llanerchaeron (NT), Ceredigion, West Wales. This might be a Scarlet Wax Cap (Hygrocybe coccinea) but it might not be - I am not an expert!

Peafowl wander freely at the Brookfield Zoo, seemingly unconcerned with the various admirers. Such amazing colors!
I know peacock colors are kind of cliche, but I really like the lines that the peacock's head/neck make with the spectacular feathers.

A bonus on this sunset was enjoying the moon rise over the mountains. I had not planned to shoot but turned my camera for a quick shot.
In the foreground are seafoam and traces of salt, but mostly seafoam from the previous days' winds.
The moon was 95.28% visible - to get a more dramatic shot, a much longer lens would be needed. Visually the moon is only half a degree; a 400-600mm would give a much larger and more dramatic moon.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
No comments today – just enjoy :-)
Wax seals were used to ensure the security and secrecy of important documents. Throughout the ages, they were used by governments and royalty, and each had their own characteristic designs to confirm the identity of the sender.

Stepped out after sunset and was surprised at the coolness in the air after a warm humid day. Then saw my favorite model in crescent form, in the growth, Waxing Crescent....summer has begun. Love the two dots of light off the bottom crescent!
Malvaviscus is distinguished by having auriculate petals and red, fleshy fruits. The generic name is referring to the mucilaginous sap produced by members of the genus. The fruit can be used to make jelly or syrup. Both the fruit and flowers are used to make herbal teas.
