    First Full Moon of 2010…

    Being a “Cancer” with the Moon as my planet I was amazed at how bright it was this evening. It was almost like daylight. The trees casting shadows and all. This being the first full moon of 2010, it is also known as the wolf moon. Makes me want to howl. There are lots of sites that tell you how to photograph our closest planet. A tripod recommended. I tinkered around with the settings on my camera and this photo was taken at ISO 250, a shutterspeed…

    I love aircraft and airports. I love flying. I love watching them. Almost like watching birds just twice as noisey.  I like trucks also – but I have to tell you I have a TON of respect for anyone that can guide a 747 around a taxiway. Technology is amazing. How something that big can even fly. I sat and watched the hussle and bussle for quite awhile.   At DFW Founder’s Plaza people come to plane spot, take their kids to watch airplanes, hang out, and…
