Frederick Foto Friday

I am not much a star gazer, but I do enjoy looking at the beauty up there. Wednesday night was the Full Lunar Eclipse. This only happens every so often. The next one will be visible from the United States in 2010 (seems like a long way off, it’s not.) I figure I would seize the moment, freeze my butt off and take some pictures. I set up the tripod and pointed it toward the clears freezing skies. About every fifteen minutes I would go out and take a series of shots. The whole process took about three hours. The first shot was about 9 PM and the last one was about midnight. Sorry about the one that in portrait view, I wanted try something different.

Hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed taken them.

Have a great weekend

Friday Foto in Frederick

We had some serious ice this week that caused school cancellations. The ice coated the branches. Mother nature always has a way to amaze us. The first foto is right after the freezing rain started. The bottom pictures were from Thursday after the rain. All the ice melted except for the tops of the mountains. When I came home on Thursday the sun was shining through the trees and it look like crystals.

Have a great weekend.

Friday Foto – Move that House – Move that house

Wait, isn’t it “Move that Bus?”  No, we aren’t watching the Extreme Makeover.  These guys are serious.  They are actually moving this house.  Not only are they going to move one…they are going to move another.  As part of Illiano Properties new plaza going in behind Bank of America in Mt Airy, they are shifting around a couple houses.  This was the first I had seen this, so obviously more pictures will come as they actually move the house.  I keep my eye on it.

I had noticed about a half dozen Cardinals frolicking in the back yard the other day.  This isn’t anything new it seems like my back yard is the garden of eden for most of the local wild life.  I had my camera, of course, and thought I would try to get a good picture of the bright red birds. (technical term)

When I went through my pictures, I thought this picture was pretty good.   But the point of today’s picture isn’t the fact I shot a Cardinal…THE TREES ARE BUDDING!!!  We are not even half way through “winter.”  Click the picture to see a larger view.
Mother Nature…what’s going on here?
