The series comprises still images of them in different colors, seen from different viewpoints.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

First moon pic with inexpensive telescope and handheld cellphone.
Going to get some filters (the physical object kind) and sort out a better camera thing.

Bonus - a woman at the lake(lady of?!?) helped me find and focus on Saturn at x60 magnification! Could just make out the rings.
