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.



OK… this is the actual full moon (the Full Beaver Moon actually). I thought it was yesterday and thanks to other posts on the web, I realized I’m not good at details like reading calendars correctly. Why so many moon photos? Why not… what else I gotta do during lock down except work on my moontan?

Edit: I need better glasses to read my calendar.


We had a storm move through around midnight and these shots are the aftermath. First shot shows a moon rainbow, the first time I’ve seen one of these.


Nice sunset view of the moon on a clear chilly evening.
