These two photos were taken from a nearly identical location on my deck. The photos are of housing vacant lots immediately south of my house. The "winter" photo was taken February 22 and the "summer" photo was taken July 22 -- five months apart. It's currently 90° outside with high humidity and the "winter" photo looks oddly refreshing to me.
Wow!!
Amazing photo taken by Cassini of Saturn's moon Rhea. The smaller moon below it is Epimetheus. It appears smaller because the distance between each other is the approximate distance between Earth and our moon. Cassini was about 750,000 miles from Rhea when the photo was taken -- and Epimetheus was 990,000 miles away from Cassini.
Photo of Sam, our Papillon, taken Sunday afternoon.
Update: Sadly, two weeks after this picture was taken, we had to put Sam to sleep. For over a year, Sam had a collapsed trachea which meant that breathing became more and more difficult for him. His trachea must have collapsed even further as his condition deteriorated very quickly and we were forced to make a difficult and heart-wrenching decision. I know Sam is in a better place.
Goodbye old friend...
I like to take sunflower photos, but mine are mainly of flowers we grow in the backyard. Here's a real nice picture I found on Flickr. It looks like it might be HDR, but none of the tags associated with the photo indicate that it is HDR.
