“Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies.” — Diane Arbus

Thank you for all the new views and likes from last week, it helps keep me inspired.

Art Bradish Snack Bar is in North Grafton, MA. The Bradish family were campers at the campground that my in-laws owned. My wife’s family goes there often, and my wife worked there during the summers her family ran the campground. We went there on one of the last weekends they were opened.

During my hike today I was going to take photos of the sunset. Looking off into the west, I saw rain. I like the look of rain in the distance.

A seasonal Blue Moon is the traditional definition of a Blue Moon and refers to the third full moon in a season that has four full moons according to NASA. Whilst the second definition — borne out of a misunderstanding of the first — is a monthly Blue Moon which refers to the second full moon within a single calendar month.

The Super Blue Moon — one of the biggest and brightest moons of the year — rose tonight; inspiring skywatchers around the world to reach for their cameras and capture some incredible photographs. This was the last Super Blue Moon for 14 years.

It has been a while since I took a good photo of the moon. I like the way this one came out.

Driving down the road the other day, we saw a rainbow. I was in the back seat of the car, took out my phone and took this camera.

Saturday, 09/02/2023: Post photo — Field of Goldenrod.

Saw this field this morning as I was verifying the coordinates for a map and compass course I will be teaching soon.

That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
