Rolf Harris is in jail and serving time for interfering with young people.

 

Although his act was popular.

Ahhh

Lux is back.

 

I thought there was something wrong with that guy, but didn't know what it was.

Good Morning Spins,

 

Whatever that problem is, the only viable solution is to ignore .... that will probably have the desired outcome! :)

 

A long day here with #2 son. We won't be seeing him over Christmas so I did him a full Christmas lunch today. He misses my food. The highlight home made chestnut stuffing!

Very cool Mark! :)

[mysty]

J...Is that a comb-over on the Bald Eagle? :) Looks a little familiar!

 

And of course your son is missing your cooking! Chestnut stuffing..what a treat! Great that you could spend time with him!

[UKCruiseJeff]

A wet and grey night here in Blighty. We had some chestnuts baked in the airfryer .... less romantic but better tasting .... but our fire is nice tonight.

 

Not a picture up to our Tel's quality .... just an ipad piccy but at least you will get the drift .....

 

:)

That looks so warm and cozy! Great way to spend an evening!

Clear cold night here - enjoying the Supermoon! Incredible color and brightness. Didn't have time to take really good pictures but I'll go through my snapshots later and see if any are worth a post.

[mysty]

Spectacular moon here as well! No pics though. Hope you got something JP! It was awesome!

[jpalbny]

Here are a few shots. No tripod, and just snapped a few in between eating dinner, much to Chris' amusement... Did not have time to play much with exposure settings, so that's what we're stuck with!

 

The color was incredible as the moon rose through the trees. I liked how blurry the branches were in this shot, though the orb is badly overexposed. Still, that allows you to capture the color of the sky:

 

 

Here are a few more as I progressively dialed down the exposure time:

 

 

Just enough clouds to make it interesting:

 

 

And one near-perfect exposure!

 

 

Guess I'll watch a little baseball. I can't get very interested these days, but I suppose I should take a look!

[mysty]

Those are great pictures JP! Thanks for posting them! Your moon is even more spectacular than ours!

I think it's the same one. ;)

[mysty]

Mark, thanks for starting my morning off with a giggle! :) Yes, what I meant to say was the view of our shared moon from JP's location was more spectacular than our view. Although sometimes it does feel like I live on another planet. :)

[jpalbny]

I think it's the same one. ;)

 

Yes, but ours is 33% brighter! ;)

[mysty]

Nice JP! :)

[UKCruiseJeff]

Someone has nicked ours and substituted clouds. It's the Americans. They always nick our stuff. We all know that the Moon is British. And they don't have a kiddies room. And you are allowed to take your own food.

 

:D

All I'm seeing today is Patricia's leftovers ...

 

[Mark_K]

Mysty,

 

My brother emailed me a bunch of old photos today. I thought you mind find this one interesting as it demonstrates the devotion to duty policeman have in Ontario...

It is merely a Canada Undry recognising that his daily vitamins are more important than fretting about damp socks. If he was a Mounty he would of course be higher in more than one sense of the word.

 

:)

[mysty]

Thanks for thinking of me Mark! Dedication is our middle name! Although dedicated to what exactly, I am not at liberty to say. :)

 

We are expecting the remnants of Patricia to arrive here around noon. Not very excited to see her though.

[mysty]

Canada Undry to be sure J! Patricia is due to arrive soon. We are well used to soggy socks. For some reason we did not take the concept of wellies with us when we left the motherland.

 

The Mounties on horseback are only a subset of the force. :) You are right that they would be higher in more ways than one. :)

[UKCruiseJeff]

Isn't a Mounty not on horseback an Unmounty?

 

:)
