Longwood Gardens dressed up for Christmas 2025.

Another (almost) full moon tonight (11/04/2025). This time, it's a stack from a Meade 1000mm f/10 SCT lens and the OM-5 camera.

Full Harvest Moon taken on Oct 6th. OM-5 camera with Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens and 2x teleconverter. A beautiful, clear night.

A large crowd came out for the No-Kings march in Newark, DE. Many more behind me than appear in the photo. Filled the courtyard and were out on the street.

So I see that we're now outsourcing our US government concentration camps to San Salvador. I'm surprised we didn't check to see if there are vacancies in Siberia, they have much more space. (BTW, this is sarcasm. We need to exercise our critical thinking skills before the next election.)

Hope is important.
