This path appears to ascend heavenward. Next time I will take it and see where I end up.

A postcard from Phoenix
to all my suffering friends and relations in the midwest and east coast:
A drop of sun to get you through the day!

Howling at the Moon
Last Friday's full moon was the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. It was also known as the wolf moon since it was the first full moon of the year. As a bonus in the first picture, Mars was just to the left of the moon; look for the reddish, star-like object. According to Spaceweather.com this full moon was about 14 percent wider and 30 percent brighter than the full Moons of the previous year. The brightness of this moon made shooting directly at it very difficult and it turns out looking like the sun in the photograph. in order to catch the detail of the full moon, had to narrow the aperture and decrease the shutter speed, which made everything else in the photo (including Mars) black.

Cracklin' Fire
We had a truly Arizona winter tradition of marshmallows over the fire pit tonight. I built up a fun size fire and the kids gorged on fat white marshmallows until they were quite ill. After they ran off to expend the sugar energy, I got some peaceful time by the fire to enjoy it's warmth and beauty. I miss fireplaces, but I do not miss cold and snow!

Capturing Cats
These are some picture of my sister Lucy's kitties. They were patient enough to let me shove a big black camera in their faces and try to capture a bit of their souls. Mine won't let me near them with the camera!
Smurf was all into having his picture taken
Socks was a bit hesitant and shy
Catching those wide eyes without a flash on a moving kitty was tricky business
After a couple of shots, she was shooting daggers at me!
