Spring tradition

I tried 2 different times to get wild flower pictures this spring. The first time was a little cold and pretty windy. The second time, it was warmer, but the bluebonnets were a little spent, and...it was windy...again. So now I have 300 pictures of windblown hair and a lot of messing around. It's going to take me a while to go through them. Here's one that I like to tide you over. (because I know you're perched on the edge of your seat waiting:)

The Moon's Friend--Part 2

A while back I posted about Venus being close to the moon in the nighttime sky (Hazel had commented that "the moon has a friend."). This morning the moon and Venus were hanging out again, this time in the early morning. This time I got a photo using my telescope. If you look closely at Venus, you will see that it is crescent-shaped, just like the moon.

Visiting the relatives

We trekked to San Antonio for baby Austin's blessing. We also got a special treat: a visit with charlie and jeanette too! It was a fun, relaxing afternoon. Austin is sooo cute! And Alex is too cute for his own good. I took some pictures while we were down there. These were my favorites.
