another HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This time to Dad. Long suffering (?) Roger is 64 today, and must admit he doesn't look a day over 65!! When I think about how young my parents were when we (3 boys!) were born, it scares me a little to think that at that age I wasn't even half as mature enough to begin to start a family. Enjoyed my life and freedoms far too much.... all that said, wouldn't swap the boys and CJ for anything, at any age.

We had a partial lunar eclipse on Wednesday. Even though the sky was clear, and visibility was excellent, it was pretty damn cold!! However, I managed to stay outside long enough to 'snap' a few pictures. It took a while to get the correct camera settings, and locate the tripod in the snow, but I think it was worth it.



The only manipulation was to crop and zoom (hence the pixelation), and to adjust the brightness / contrast (to lose some of the moon's 'halo'), all within iPhoto.

(for the kids: try clicking on the pictures. the dark areas on the moon pictures are the Earth's shadow, as the moon passes behind our planet.)
