Chevy Glow

I'm not a car guy but this Chevy looked so hot it glowed.

The Purple Grill of Ford

Another fine grill. This one from the Ford Motor Company.

I think I'm grillin' today

After seeing all those grills at the Route 66 Street Rod Nationals, I think I am grilling today.

What I saw...spooky

This is part of the museum at the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum just outside of Saguaro National Park, outside of Tucson. Visited there in January. Do you see what I saw? Look closely. 

People, be careful in the heat

If you listen to the local weatherperson, you will get all kinds of very useless and obvious advice, like suggestions not to go outdoors or to stay in the shade and drink lots of water, etc. Yes, thank you. We have never been hot before. Anyway, thought I would do my annual winter in summer shot to remind us what will be here before you know it. I will also let you know that the local weather forecaster will say 6 months from now that it will be cold out, likely snow and you should dress in your winter best, in case you weren't aware of that either.

I got sunshine on a...sunny day

Just a bit of morning sunshine. (Well, I'm posting this in the morning, it was a setting sun). At Lisle Arboretum.

Big Moon and Tiny Jupiter

Can you see tiny Jupiter in the right of this handheld shot? Of course, if this were to scale, the differences would be enormous the other way around. But, perspective is relative, so Jupiter appeared as a tiny bright dot just below and to the right of the moon last night. They will be increasing their separation every night this week so make sure you check them out soon.  If you have binoculars, here is a trick. Put on a baseball hat and go outside. Grab the brim of the hat along with the binos and find Jupiter (the hat helps steady the binoculars to your head). You will see some faint color bands on the planet and a couple of moons. As many as 4 (the same four that Gallieo saw) depending on if any are behind the planet. If you go back in a couple of hours (I now, unlikely) you will see that they have moved relative to the planet. That is how you know they are a moon and not a star in the distant background.)

A little weekend color

Just a little color to spark your weekend.

Catching a little sunshine

Thought I would catch a little sunshine to throw your way.
