Cranky Cloud
Do you see the cranky cloud? Saturn rose with the moon last night. You can see Saturn to the left of the moon. The moon is in the clutches of Gigi’s tree.

Dawn
If you remember the post October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month where I told the story about the office baby shower for a guy, the baby was born yesterday, October 26th, on my birthday. The baby weighed in at 6 lbs 14 Oz. Congratulations, new Dad and new Mom!
Sunset. Dusk with Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter through the trees.
Jupiter In Opposition
Jupiter (lower left) is in opposition to the sun tonight. The earth is between the sun and Jupiter, and Jupiter is closer to the earth tonight. The last time Jupiter made an approach this close to the earth was in 1963 (59 years ago). There might be a conspiracy in the 1963 approach and apposition. Saturn (upper right) looked on.

Services In A TUFF SHED®
White Oaks, New Mexico doesn’t need no stinking cathedral or post-bank-style building for worship services. A TUFF SHED® with a steeple does just fine.
A colorful cacti in the churchyard, and a second TUFF SHED® used for fellowship hall.
The Harvest Moon rising last night with Saturn peeking through the clouds on the right. Saturn in the center photo. The Harvest Moon shining through the clouds.
There was lightning to the north last night. Saturn and its moons in plaid. The Harvest moon finally rose above the clouds.

Jupiter and three of its moons at 1:30 am this morning. I woke up and 1:30 am and remembered I had left the drip systems on, so I got up and turned off the drip system and photographed Jupiter. I forgot my iPhone, so I didn’t get any wide-angle photos of the sky at 1:30 am.

Jupiter with three of its moons at 5:30 am this morning. It’s interesting how the moons change positions through the night.

Saturn At Opposition
What is Saturn opposed to? The sun, of course. On August 14th Saturn will be at its brightest. I’m hoping for a clear night.
Gray Matters
I walked out to the river at dusk to see if I could get the moonrise. Only gray clouds from the approaching storm.
Demons and dragons closing in on Resa’s tree.
I woke up a 3:30 am, walked outside, and shot the moon as it slipped through the clouds before disappearing behind the trees.
A tree held onto the moon after it slipped through the clouds.
Mars, Jupiter, and Venus at 3:48 am.
