Family Pictures



For the first time, I mean, EVER, we took pictures of our whole family! We finally got down and found the tripod, and set the camera to a 10-second delay, and took advantage of the photogenic trees in our backyard, and took a picture! I'm trying to make it a new family tradition. We did it on Thanksgiving Day, right before the big meal. I'm hoping that timing will remind us to do it again next year! :-)

I call this one: The Evil Power Twins.


Brooke and her boys. I love this one!


The crazy picture. :-)




Brothers.

Sky Triangle

This is the Astrophysics Lab, after all, isn't it? I probably should list some sort of astronomical phonenoma every once in a while. Thanks to my computer program, Stellarium, which is available free online, I found out that two nights ago was a great night to take this picture.

This is a crescent moon, of course, with Venus (the brighter one), and Jupiter (more dim). Beautiful, isn't it? :-) We had fun taking pictures out there. I should do that more often!
