the sky was beautiful this morning when I looked out the window first thing…
a few minutes later I got another view…
the clouds were very interesting…
a bit later I watched geese flying low overhead as they headed out for a meal;-)… they were moving quickly and my phone was in my pocket…
but it is also great to just watch them and not worry about capturing a photo;-)…
the sky is so wonderful…

as I sat on the couch reading and occasionally looking out the front window, I spotted a large bird soaring high in the sky… at first I thought it was a pelican, but as I watched it more closely, I realized that it was a bald eagle…
got my camera out, but didn’t get a good shot, it was very fuzzy, lol…
watched it until it disappeared from view…
right behind that tree…
such a treat;-)…

woke up early, and for whatever reason, decided to look out the front window…
the moon was still up and shining brightly, and at the bottom of the bird feeders I spotted a bunny friend…
it was busy eating the seeds that had blown out of the feeders during all the strong winds over the last day or so…
I stood watching it for quite a while, before heading back to bed… it is very interesting to watch the way they move…
and I love that cute little white tail…

this morning I went out around ten and shovelled the sidewalk… it was overcast, chilly, and a bit windy…
it only takes about fifteen minutes to get the job done and then I took out my camera to get a few photos of the snow on the trees…
just before my friends arrived for our weekly gathering, the sun came out… yay…
and I got a very similar picture…
amazing what a difference a bit of sunshine makes…

last night I spent a few minutes at the front door trying to get a photo of the tiny sliver of moon and Jupiter…
I should have got out the tripod, lol…
it was fun to watch as the moon slowly was covered by clouds…

reorganized the chairs on the deck on Monday to face the sun…
then I brought out blankets for each one so we would be comfortable while we had our eyes to the sky…
everyone brought their eclipse glasses from October, when we saw nothing due to clouds…
coffee was ready, snacks were brought out and my friends arrived an hour early for our regular Monday gathering…
at first the clouds covered the activity but eventually we got to see some of the eclipse…
this was one of the two photos I took… I held the glasses over my iPhone’s lens and one of my friends pushed the button, lol…
it was fun to be together and enjoy this phenomenon…
another great experience with these wonderful women, one who was on FaceTime, lol…

the moon has been doing some odd things over the last while…
three days before the full moon the moonlight was amazing… it looked as though it was a full moon and this is very odd…
I’ve caught a few interesting photos over the last few days…
this was from the 5:30 on Tuesday morning, taken without my glasses on, lol……
this one was from 7:30 this morning…
the moon is so mesmerizing;-)…

I’ve been trying to note how long I am out in the hot tub each night, so I take a screenshot of the time as I leave the house and another once I come in…
tonight I made it out to the hot tub in time to watch the Space Station fly over… I haven’t seen it for quite a while…
this time, as it came over the house it was a bright light, but about halfway across the open space above me it started to dim and then it vanished…
it has done this before and I wonder if it is rotating a bit and then doesn’t have the sun shining on it…
it always makes me happy to see it, especially on such a beautiful evening…
