Enjoying the full moon on a cold MN night ..

What do you see?

What do you see?

Nature-made water colors …

rippled reflections

I filmed this short clip of nature sounds at the Minnesota River Valley National Wildlife Refuge on a nice walk, Oct 16  around 2PM .. enjoying the Minnesota Fall.   This was my first visit to this park.   When you stop thinking, moving, and enhance your awareness to the present moment things start to become more vivid, colors, sounds… this video attempts to share that experience

video description from youtube: Ready for a moment of enhanced awareness?  Maybe see some magic?   look around, listen, watch … Nature sounds, crickets, wind, trail, leaves, sun, valley … this video might offer you a mystical minute of enjoying some awareness to the surrounding nature, shot during a walk at the MN River Valley National Wildlife Refuge (in between the noise from airplanes taking off)

Here is another one, this one is more of a  quick 360 view

Watch the sky, clouds, sun, big waves and listen to the sounds… filmed on a pier at Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis MN, on Saturday October 4 2014. Temperature must have been about 45, windy so felt colder.

First photo shows 3 contrails,

the last 2 photos show multiple chemtrails, at least 3, these are much longer, do not disappear they dissipate into clouds instead

First photo taken about 11AM, last 3 taken about 5PM on the same day from relatively the same location.

This was my first attempt to take photos with my new telescope and DSLR camera. I’m not using an adapter, but didn’t need one.

This is a photo using the camera alone with my telephoto lens at maximum zoom:

Notice a difference?  The telescope photos are like mirror images, the telescope images need to be flipped to match what your eyes see.
