I’m incredibly grateful for the life I live. Tonight I got to see something that won’t happen again until 2117. If it wasn’t for my son and his interest in celestial objects, I would have never tried.
Ralph made such a fuss about not standing in the line of the eyepiece that my eight year old Nels was very concerned he might get burnt, or go blind. He didn’t want to stand anywhere near that eyepiece, and was frightened when I took this photo.
Ten year old Phoenix has ice cream on her face, from the ice cream truck that came by. She is relaxed and smiling. She’s also mere days away from losing the one little cap on her teeth I allowed a crumbly dentist to install. She’s reassuring her brother in this picture.
Life is a lovely gift.

Wow- what a significant and super rad little dot!
Pretty flowers!
Pretty Ralph!
These pictures are all beautiful!
So jealous! It was too cloudy here for us to see Venus passing in front of the sun. 🙁 What a great photo to have taken, too. Lucky ducks! 🙂
I’m so happy you guys are enjoying the telescope! I see there is a new Field Guide to the Stars & Planets being published this month. Should I get one for you guys or just quietly put it on the shelf & see how long it takes for Nels to talk you into it?
Thanks, ladies!
@Tammy, if you buy a book and leave it on the shelf I’d love to bring Nels in and see what he thinks. Who knows, his interests may change! I hope not though…
