Juppiter is the bigger planer, but Venus appears brighter (and therefore visually "larger") because it's closer and its atmosphere is more reflective. The conjunction Moon-Venus-Jupiter will last for another couple of days, so you might want to look at it in the sky between 7 and 9 pm.
My god, please tell me you have these in high def. *puppy eyes* I took a similar pic once, but i use analog cameras. So no wallpaper...
last night's moon:
Cool!
Did you catch that without the use of a tripod, boco? If so, you must have the world's steadiest hands!I can only dream of night shots that clear taken free hand!
I used a tripod. But the other moon pic i posted last year was without one. I have quite steady hands
More brand-new STAR WARS acquisitions, courtesy of cooleddie Nerdland.
A couple of these are duplicates of ones I already have, but I wanted extras. Three of them are ones I didn't own. I really like the Deleted Scene Luke. They really nailed Mark Hamill's face on this one.

Seems I mislabeled my shot then(!), I was hoping it was Jupiter as soon as I read ZR's comment! Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for the kind words.
I do, and you can download the full original size from Flickr if you have a pro account, if not, I am happy to email those to you. Mucho appreciated!

I have tried many times, it's not my forte or something! I've tried to take up the proper stance, feet shoulder width, arms pulled back to my body and resting against it, and even leaning the camera on my face to steady it further, and going for the trigger between breaths... not perfect yet! Will keep at it though! You'll have to give me a few tips!
Love the colours in this, and the funky hairdo. Such a beautiful little baby... well, not so little now(!), astonishing to me how fast they grow. Bless!
Somehow I still have room. Believe it or not. I'm really stingy with my spare space so I can cram a whole lot into a small area. About 90% of my stuff is in just one room.

Tell me about it! She turns 2 in three weeks!
My answer to this? TREES. I don't know why they keep plowing under acres of trees whenever they build a new housing development. They keep the sun off the house in the summer, and helps block the wind in the winter, therefore keeping your AC costs down. Ugh. Probably one of several reasons I'll never own a house in a brand new development.
I get pissed off when they cut down all the trees like that, too, for that reason and many others. They cut down the entire forest behind my house and made it into a senior community. They have perfect homes and perfectly manicured lawns... and no trees. It makes all the "pretty" lawns look ugly. Trees are some of the most beautiful things a person can have on their property.
As a civil engineer licesened in 5 states and working in land development, my professional opinion is...knock it down and make way for progress.
Much of the planting work falls under the scope of the landscape architect, and I like to see large, mature trees preserved. I've taken great effort on several projects to preserve features of interest. But if my only physical or economic alternative to get drinking water to a development is by knocking down a 200 year old tree, then bye bye tree.

Where I live it's very hard to cut down a tree without getting in a whole lot of trouble. This includes cutting down trees on a block of land you bought to build a house on. You can lop the top off of trees and you can uproot stumps so some people will sneakily lop slowly over a year until it is a stump and then remove the stump, if it's a tree they know the won't be allowed to cut down. It's a complete pain in the ass since trees are regularly falling on houses. We do have gazillions of parrots though, and other wildlife.
Well, I guess I can sort of see how they could be a pain if they are always falling on houses. O_o
It's just that... I'm seeing nature disappear all around me. There are certain species of birds that I just don't see anymore since the big trees have gone, and we used to have deer back there and everything. Just makes me sad.

Were you smuggling alcohol across state lines? Because I've found that the police don't appreciate that. Not that I know.
