I always seem to get really bad jet lag. This trip home has been no exception. The jet lag seems to get worse before it gets better. It’s 4 in the morning on night 3 after returning, and I’ve been wide awake since 2 so I decided to take this pic from the back deck instead of lay in bed any longer. The photo didn’t come out very well. Things looked far more magical in person. With my natural eyes I could see the Milky Way, and the moon is a beautiful crescent. I guess I need a tripod, less moisture in the air, and/or a better camera to make this shot really work.

Can you see the Seven Sisters (Pleiads)?

A few weeks ago, on my way home, I notice what looked like a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion in the southeast portion of the sky. It wasn’t quite as pronounced by the time I got home and took this picture, but it still looked a bit out of the ordinary.

I was reading a book in my Adirondack chair on the deck the other day with this view. It was cloudy and overcast but still nice out.
