skookumchick | March 2, 2008It is GORGEOUS outside here in West Lafayette. About 60 degrees and sunny! I'm quite losing my head.
Evidence of this is that as many of my doors and windows that I can open are indeed open. I know the weather will turn later in the week, but for now, I can turf out a little winter mustiness. And have acute delusions of gardening.
Because my doors were open, however, I also got to catch a fabulous sight. I heard the noise before I saw them, knew enough to grab my camera, and rushed outside in my socks.
Here's my evidence of spring, and I must confess in advance that I cropped the photo…
skookumchick | February 20, 2008Putting the cool back in stargazing. Although, strictly, it was moongazing.
Okay, I admit it's a little jiggly. But I had the zoom all the way out, AND I was using a tripod, and it was fricking 3 degrees outside. I think it ain't bad.
Did you see the eclipse where you were?
I also saw 3 stars in Orion's belt, plus 6 stars in the Pleiades, plus the usual suspects of the Big Dipper, and Cassiopea. And now that my fingers have warmed up a little, I'm going to have some tea - it was FREEEEZING.
