Posted on November 19, 2021 by Steve Gingold

One more in the continuing study of Owens Pond tree reflections. Not as gloomy today, at least so far, although I missed the peak of the eclipse. But witnessing a partial was worth the early rise. Now, do I get … Continue reading →

Posted on November 11, 2021 by Steve Gingold

11.08.2021 Almost Monochrome Monday
