Milky Way from Strawberry Pinnacles

My son's friend let me borrow his camera, and that allowed me to take a few pictures of the Milky Way from the clear skies above Strawberry Pinnacles. Thank you, Steve......

Time 8:30 PM, 10 Oct 09, settings: 60 sec exposure, f/stop=3.5, 18 mm lens, 1600 ASA, Noise reduction ON. (temperature 38 deg, brrrrrrr)

Also, notice the streak going across the left center. That was a satellite, and I hoped it would be captured in the picture.

Thanks for watching...

Shooting the Moon - Before and After the Bombing

Looks like they not only found water on the moon, but also caused a quick growth of foilage, probably Rain Forest by now. Must have shook an underground spring loose. Note "Before" to the left and "After" to the right.

Enjoy

Thanks to my wife, Jena, and my son Dan for being with me when I took this picture.

Aliens have landed------in our driveway

Normally cornfields are the favorite alien landing spot with "out-of-this-world" designs being tamped down. However, this "alien" missed the cornfield and composed a truly "out-of-this-world" design right in the middle of our driveway. Our daughter wouldn't have had anything to do with this artistic piece of work, now would she?

Geese and Sunset

Lucked out and got this picture of geese heading west. They came from nowhere.

What is this animal?

I thought it was a Coyote. But, notice the different colors and designs of fur. Notice the stripped fur on the buttocks, and that patch of gray outlined in black on the back. Got me. Any ideas? Ran in front of us near Newspaper Rock Rec Area in Southwestern Utah. And, hung around in the bushes for a picture.
