A little over a month ago, Ashland looked like this from the trail that switches back and forth in Hald Strawberry Park. The scene isn’t as pretty now, but the landmarks of the Ashland Springs Hotel and the Elizabethan Theater in the OSF complex are still there of course. I should try this shot again the next time it snows in town.
Last week there was a full moon and Jupiter (the bright point below and to the left of the moon) was close to the moon. With a few wispy clouds buzzing across the sky it was all too much for me to resist so I headed out into the cold darkness for this photo.
Nikon has just lowered the price of the camera that I have used for most of the images on this blog for the past year and a half. Perhaps the next version of the D7000 (the rumored Nikon D7100) will be coming out soon. Or maybe Nikon just wants to sell a bunch of D7000s for Christmas. In any event, it’s a great deal right now at under $900. In addition, shipping is free, you get a free DSLR backpack, a 16 GB SD card, and 2% back from Amazon.com (in the form of a credit to be used at Amazon.com on a subsequent purchase).

Now that we’ve begun the wettest and coldest time of the year, I really miss the other seasons. Today’s photo, from the Japanese maple tree in my backyard, is from less than a month ago.
