Alien Eyes

Alien Eyes

Yeah, okay so they aren't alien eyes.  But if you let your imagination run, doesn't it look like alien eyes hanging off the end of an antennae?  You missed seeing the base of the head because it is just below the where the base of the photo is at.  You must have been scared because you obviously jumped and jarred the camera so that you didn't get the whole head.



Street lamps?

Several jets flew over as I was coming out of the restaurant.  Their trails as they faded and blew away created an extra curiosity in the sky.


A gorgeous sunset

I was playing around with different settings on the camera to get different effects.  I have probably promised this before but one day I will explain some of the different settings on the camera.  The photo above and below are less than a minute apart.  All I did was to change the setting on the camera.  The fun thing about a digital camera is that you can see immediately if you are getting an effect that you like.


Minutes can make a difference

You know that I'm infatuated with the moon.  I can't believe with a good zoom lens that I can get a close-up like this.  In the old musicals, the lead actresses used to sit in the arch of the moon and singing romantic songs of about their dreams and their futures.  


A Moon to Swing on...

In this picture, it almost looks like the sunlit side of the moon is significantly larger than the rest of the moon.  Sort of like the top of an acorn nested onto the acorn. 

A favorite quote of mine is from the sci-fi mini series Taken. "My mother always talked to me a lot about the sky. She liked to watch the clouds in the day and the stars at night...especially the stars. We would play a game sometimes, a game called 'What's Beyond the Sky?' We would imagine darkness or a blinding light or something else that we didn't know how to name. But of course, that was just a game. There's nothing beyond the sky. The sky just is, and it goes on and on, and we play all of our games beneath it."
