Tomorrow night, January 13, 2025, Mars, the brightest object on the lower part of the photo, will appear to be eaten by the Moon. In a rare event that occurs about once every 14 years, the Moon will pass in front of Mars, hiding it from view for a few hours. The event will beContinue reading “Moon Eats Mars Tomorrow Night”

Saturday Travelogue
Florida Snow
While the central and northeastern U.S. is battling frigid temperatures and snow, our only snow is fake and is indoors. I like it that way. #snow #indoors #floridawinter #cold
Living the Dream

Crosswind
The orange windsock on the lower right of the photo is nearly straight out with 15 knot winds gusting to 25 directly across to the runway. Good time for light aircraft to remain on the ground. I did successfully challenge similar winds once in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in a Piper Clipper but the runway was muchContinue reading “Crosswind”

Its original shoots were damaged and dropped off, but new ones have arisen so, perhaps this one may eventually bloom as well.Continue reading “Little Red Rising Bulb”
Sun Near and Far
It’s winter here in the northern hemisphere, so the sun must be farther away, right? Wrong! As can be seen in the photo composite above, the sun looks smaller in the sky in July than it does in January because of the change of distance. Earth is over a million miles closer to the sunContinue reading “Sun Near and Far”
Frosty the Frog

It was too cold to leap away as I took this up-close photo but rather, remained motionless. Though mostly out of harms way, I certainly hope heContinue reading “Frosty the Frog”
