Thanks ruralartist, backwardguy, gatorgal, gilg72, Kennebunker and SunsetSailor! I'm joyful to live in a place of such beauty and to be able to share it. Some days I'm a little manic with my camera, up late and up again early. This is another one of those days :) I appreciate everyone's appreciation very much and my goal is to share something not everyone can see and appreciate seeing other people's work very much. When I'm not manic with the camera I try to get around and appreciate the other work here. So much to see and do, I love this world!

Love your galaxy and moonrise shots, and especially the video, Mike! Love the "ghosts" caused by the reflection of the moon, and the trails left by planes flying by. Congratulations on your new AC and glad you can still see the stars where you live. We can here too, if the weather cooperates.
