Crow
Moony sky
Two crows
Some shroom
Less stand-offish as winter gets nearer maybe?
Building a dome in 1977
Juniper losings its needles
Long Pond on a November afternoon
Hops making a statement
Red fly
My shadow and its reflection
Robins
Family that scowls together
November afternoon walk
Beer for people who don't like beer
Downy woodpecker getting something to eat
Moon shining through a little dwy of snow
Mundy Pond
The purps are back so it really must be winter. He…
If all you saw were female or younger birds so-cal…
I haven't tired of watching crows yet.
Mr Wilson's warbler visits
A new wahbluh for us
Jupiter's back around
Not quite right
Some kind of crow gift
One of the pleasant things about dark, wet weather…
At Luke's Brook
Linaria still blooming
Leaf
Where they take the peanuts we give them
Raising the bar
Late but still good, maybe better for being late
Dickcissel a long way from home
Tuna's jumpin' and the gull is amused
Something from the cushion fell
About a minute and a half of the south-facing sky…
The carrot harvest begins
Picnic at Tinker's Point
Self portrait with garlic
Bluejay's turn for a portrait.
Whiskeyjack poses
Perhaps the culprit
Ain't no farmer
Me -- ha! -- by the road in 1972

Jupiter from the back door


Jupiter from our back door a few minutes ago. There's blue in the sky because it was a fairly long exposure, with my elbow and the back of my head jammed up against the doorframe. The long exposure is why most things that should be round or pinpoints are actually smears, and why Jupiter appears as a starburst.
It looks like there are only three Jovian moons, all on the left side of Jupiter. But the "one" closest to the starburst effect of Jupiter is actually two moons. If it weren't as bright, you could see that one is partially behind the other. In order from the left, they are Callisto and Europa, and then together, Io and Ganymede, with Io just above Ganymede.
Don't ask me what the three stars are to the right of Jove. I don't know. But I know that right now there is a dim galaxy between Jupiter and these three stars. Its name is IC1821. If I had a much better lens (or maybe just an ordinary telescope . . . I dunno) I might see it. But it isn't in my picture.
