Here's my Harvest Moon shot. Just coming up over the bluff across the PCH from me.
The moons of Jupiter move fast. Io takes less than 2 days to make a complete orbit, Europa about 3.5 days. Back before they had accurate clocks to determine their longitude sailors could use the observations of Jupiter's moons to find the time. Of course it was nearly impossible to observe the moons from the deck of a pitching ship but Capt. Cook did use the method to map the locations of islands that he found.
Back in my younger days I would try to spot the moons just wearing my glasses. I would guess where I thought I could see them and then confirm with binos. I would be right about half the time.
I can still differentiate Mizar and Alcor.....after about 20 minutes of darkness and non-city skies.
I've been hearing and seeing this little guy up in the neighborhood telephone poles off and on over the last year but have never been able to get a decent picture of him. I heard him this morning knocking away as I was out watering and then I saw him in one of my orange trees. My daughter has been calling him Wendel, the neighborhood Nuttall's woodpecker.
Got the season's first White-Crowned Sparrow last weekend in Laguna Canyon.
The neighborhood coyotes from this weekend in the little park at the end of the street. As soon as I stopped to take a photo, they got up and walked off:

My parents & their friends always had an ab ashtray around. I forgot all about them being used as ashtrays.Man. I remember when you could "pop them off the rocks" in Palos Verdes, cook em up and later have a smoke and use the shell as an ash tray .....
It always amazes me the colors and pearl like effects you can find in shells. Even lowly clam shells can have some incredible colors.Piece of an abalone shell I found in the rocks this morning post surf.
