Each morning I walk through my garden and then eat breakfast on my terrace. Today I liked:
 |
| Shooting directly at the moon & cropping for this position. |
 |
| Pointing camera away from moon I get the earth too? Magic? Reflection? And you can even see a star in the distance. I don’t know how I did it! Cool! Bazaar! Weird! Fun! |
Here’s a better full moon shot I made in Nashville a few years ago.

Read article on Montezuma Oropendola on Wikipedia & click for sound of their bubbly song and see photo of their cool, long nests that prevent monkeys from stealing eggs.

| Overlooking my house on a cloudy sunset around 5:15. “And all is well on the western front!” 🙂 Yep, the sun shines from between 5 & 5:30 AM to the same in PM Every day, year around – 12 hours of dark & 12 hours of light! Nice! That’s because we are close to the equator. Same sunrise/sunset daily. |
And to my fellow Americans, forgive me for saying I was ashamed last night. The election did not go the way I thought was best, but God just may have something much better in store for us! So today I posted on Facebook the following quote and Scripture verse that better reflects my faith:
 |
| “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea.” Psalm 41:1 |

| My neighbor Anthony gets up earlier than me. This morning about 5:20 he shot my house with a rainbow. Photo by Anthony Jeroski |

The other day I told about missing a photo of a motmot, well at breakfast today I got one. Not my best shot with the cool tail partially hidden, but okay to be behind some leaves.
