Zenith moon...

The moon and the clouds...

...and then there are times you just have to go sit down under a tripod at 0100 and go for it.

Moonrise...

Moonrise this evening...

Granted, I don't have quite enough camera for this shot, but you get the idea...

We have to start thinking about Christmas, already???

I'm such a guy... But hey, we were just talking about keepsakes on the Thursday Threesome below, so I guess this little guy fits right in:

My ornament from Emily

Yep, he's still on the the little half shelf in front of me where he's been since he showed up as part of last year's Ornament Exchange. ...and the ladies are at it again:

Ornament Exchange 2003 is ready to launch!

This year Miz Jenna has been joined by Miz Michelle and Miz Danielle to help "exchange" some Christmas cheer. That should make for some fun! Go ahead; take a look!

The Thursday Threesome...

Onesome: Keep- What’s your favourite keepsake? Do you have something that has so much sentiment attached you’ll keep it forever? Tell us! Yep, I do have a couple of things; but hey, let's just mention my wedding band and we'll leave it there...

Twosome: The Back Porch- We’re named for Deb’s back porch, a place where people go to relax and wind down. Where’s your relax and unwind spot? The back yard. ...especially the Japanese garden. There's either a relaxing view or some leaves to be moved off the 'stream'.

Threesome: Donate! Got a cause you donate to regularly? Church (-doh), Surreally hosting (hosting for the blog impaired), the Back Porch (new!)... That's the money side of things; I donate time to several causes; I mention them from time to time on my Daynotes pages...

How about you? Drop by and let us know (and maybe even donate?), over on The Back Porch...

Come on over and chat!

Here you go!

Lori and Barbara and Ken all nailed things pretty well. Here's the raw shot:

Through the window in early morning...

Really, I was just minding my own business, getting out of my car at work...

...but then the colors caught my eye and it was all over. Okay, the details as promised in email: the morning sun is coming through the passenger side window from the right and is lighting up the lei and gold beads hanging from the rear view mirror of the car. My shot is through the driver's window. The sunlight on the chain link fence seen though the windshield is a bonus...

Yes, I have been told I'm not normal <g>...
