    … after I got the car serviced this afternoon I took the long way home through Page Springs and Cornville and that meant driving by Bubbling Ponds in Page Springs and that insured a stop to see what was going on. I got some nice shots of ducks and our elegant lady was back there again. I got this shot as she initiated a very hard bank to the left. Her left wing is providing almost no lift, her body is twisting left and her right wing is providing most of the lift keeping her in the air and thus assisting in the turn … magazine cover beauty!

    Next is a shot I took tonight of the alignment of Jupiter and Saturn which is speculated to be the alignment of planets that became known as the Christmas Star. To the naked eye they almost look like a single entity, but with a 200 mm lens you can see the lateral separation of the planets. Jupiter is on the left and I got it and at least two of the moons. Jupiter is approximately 4AU to 6AU depending on (4 Astronomical Units) from Earth and Saturn is approximately 7 to 11 AU from earth. An AU is equal to the distance of the Sun to the earth, or about 94million miles.

    Size wise Jupiter is about 11 times larger than earth and Saturn about 9 times larger … we would appear a abut twice as big as one of the moons orbiting Jupiter. Feeling omnipotent yet? Who knows when or if we will ever make it out that far?

    Down to the lake tomorrow and hopefully some great shooting … have a beautiful day … smile a lot and share the joy you find in life.

    Cold lies the lifeless earth, the birds are gone, and through the naked trees the shrill wind whistles. Though the world outside be chill and dead, may the world within us resound with gleeful songs, and the chambers of our hearts be warm with hope and love. And may many an evening’s merriment, beside the hearthstone’s cheerful glow, make sweet the passing time.

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
