Lunar Eclipse of Course

One of my favorite lunar eclipses I have seen yet - this picture is not total actually coming out of it but I like how it is showing several aspects of the eclipse.

These are just teasers


Getting closer to total and notice that star, bottom left about to get occulted (blocked by the Moon)

And the star is now behind the Moon...

Okay here we are in total

And coming out of the eclipse

Spending the time with Angie and the Youngs watching one of God's great beautiful shows is absolutely the best.

Okie Dokie Sunspots

 Some pretty good sunspots today

Hiking Season Extended with Cooler Mornings

Got bees you betcha...




Got Arachnophobia  - Arizona Deserts have got pretty expansive Spider condos


Not quite enough to join my crested saguaro collection but some interesting growths none the less



This one I just liked the angle and floral tip was enough for me


You thought I could do a post without some cactus flowers - shame on you...




How do you like this house with a view - the skylights are enormous


Mike I thought you would like this abandoned gold mine they pretty much pepper the Sonoran desert
