For all those naughty folks who didn’t get one, Happy Holidays!

For all those naughty folks who didn’t get one, Happy Holidays!
This evening’s sunset, a lunar close-up and a coyote close by.
Hanging out in the lights in our portal, keepin’ warm and pooping up a storm on our stoop.
Jupiter is the larger, brighter object. Next conjunction this close will be in about 375 years. Can’t wait!
Nice sunset brings nature’s Christmas lights to the Sangre de Cristos. And an almost quarter moon up in the pink clouds.
Saturn, Jupiter and the waxing crescent moon (in descending order). The two planets will be the closest to each other (called a conjunction) on the Winter solstice, December 21st. It will be another 60 years before they are this near to each other. So get out and look up!
Nice altocumulus clouds at sunset on a very frigid day (didn’t get much above freezing).
Quick moving storm clouds over the Sange de Cristos today. Each segment represents about 10 and a half minutes. Looks like the mountains got some snow, yay!
4.5 inches this morning and cooooold temps. It’s very welcome moisture during this drought. The mountains were roiling with clouds and that made for some interesting timelapses.
