Since the rain won't stop here in Northern California, I'm sharing a 12-second video I took of the moon last year with my Celestron 6SE.

There is definitely no tennis today

In the late afternoon yesterday, I photographed the moon using my old white Meade 1000mm f/11 telescope and a Canon T3i camera. There will be no photograph of the moon today, as it will rain all day and all week. Happy New Year.

Taken from the south of Fremont Boulevard, Fremont, CA. This photo shows Coyote Creek, the power antennas are on the Bay, and in the distance is Palo Alto with the Black Mountains behind it. #Fremont #BayArea

This image of tonight's moon was created by stacking 1,833 frames in PIPP and editing in AstroSurface. Tonight I was using the Celestron NexStar 6SE. #moon #BayArea #astrophotography #Fremont

I was mountain biking at Coyote Hills early this morning when I spotted a red-tailed hawk. #Fremont #BayArea #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #hawk

I went to Niles to play tennis, but the courts were wet. Instead, I took some pictures.

Tonight after tennis, I walked in the park and listened to the sound of crunching dry leaves on the ground.

It’s cold, but it’s time for tennis, and the sunset paints the sky with beautiful colors. #sunset #Fremont #bayarea #sky #clouds

So the heron said to the crow, "I am willing to talk, but keep your distance."

I read that a hummingbird's metabolism is so intense that even a few minutes of rest is crucial to avoid starvation. Its heart rate can slow from over 1,200 beats per minute to a more leisurely pace. #birds #photography #naturephotography
