As promised in yesterday’s post, the Moon obligingly appeared at sunset last night. Tonight, it will be up above Jupiter at the top of the image. Wow, what an amazing apparition of our solar siblings! #jupiter #venus #moon #sunset

Near and Far
The Moon is less than a third of the diameter of Venus, yet it appeares much larger since it was only 224 thousand miles away while Venus was over 142 million miles away at the time of the photo. The Moon is at crescent phase since it is sunward from Earth, while Venus is atContinue reading “Near and Far”
Colorful Conundrum
The winter sun is slowly shifting northward again and in the process produces curious late afternoon light shows that vary daily. Its setting rays recently passed through the windows and through a pane of glass that painted this rainbow on the doorway. With a little effort I might have been able to identify the sourceContinue reading “Colorful Conundrum”
Silhouetted in the Setting Sun
Gray clouds jostled by cold, gusting winds blocked the sun from view for nearly all of the day. Then as we returned from our day’s errands, a momentary beam of light pierced through the clouds and between trees to cast my shadow onto the kitchen cabinet.

Then it was back to work and minutes later the scene had faded. It was nice to have noticedContinue reading “A Moment’s Notice”

Back to the Beginning
Nearly two weeks ago we spent the first night of our stay in French Polynesia in Tahiti. Now we are back on the island of Tahiti after five days in Moorea and seven days in Bora Bora. It has been a fun and eventful trip, and we still have a little more exploring to doContinue reading “Back to the Beginning”
Sunset in Bloom
Late afternoon clouds parted just in time to spotlight the flowers in the glow of the setting Sun and brighten what remained of the day. #sunset #flowers
