Quiz 28

This is a piece of a bigger picture. I welcome one and all to guess at what it is. In one week I’ll give the answer, and post a new one. Good luck and may the guessing begin.

Esta es una parte de la foto grande. Hay que adivinar lo que es. En una semana regreso con la respuesta y otra foto. ¡Suerte!

Standing in Nowhere, Illinois

It is amazing that we can stand in our small town and see details in the night sky.  Tonight we went out with Erin and Keri to our favorite cemetery  (yes, the same one where we visited with the Police Officer) with the telescope.  We saw the galaxy Andromeda, Jupiter and his moons, our own moon, and the Milky way was incredible.  With my camera on my tripod, this is what I captured.

And, looking through the telescope this is what we saw.

The way the telescope works with the mirrors, it places the image upside down and reversed.

It is just amazing to see all that detail, even most of it is visible through binoculars.

We had a great time, and I just wanted to share it.

It is a Bug

Specifically an ant carrying a silk worm.

Una hormiga.
When I was little I used to think it was only a myth that ants carried a lot of stuff.  Last Wednesday when I was hanging out watching the band that Jacob works with, I saw a bunch of ants carrying the silk worms around.  I thought it was cool, so I am sharing it here.

Head cold

Runny noseApparently this weekend is the time for my annual summer head cold. The human body is an amazing thing, and today I am particularly amazed at the incredible amount of SNOT the human head can manufacture in a short period of time.

Fortunately, this is just the summer sickness going around (at church today fully half of the guys I talked to were in various stages of the same thing), and from all accounts, I’m at the peak of it and it should subside within another 24-48 hours. Thank goodness?
