Camera: Olympus OMD EM10 Mark IV

Lens: Olympus lens 100--400mm

I also used an internal zoom: the 2X extender, which behaves like a zoom, while being electronic. And it works; you can't even see how. It's amazing.

How about that?

Glad you like it.

Heck, I'm only 24 hours early!

The black background gives a much sharper and clearer photo. I always want all of that.

Then, to share it, all across the world. Then we can all (well not all, but many) go outside and see that same moon shining back at us. And then, think of you. 💙

That is a lovely train of events that you describe. I hope that many people are doing just that.

We can all share that moment together.

That is when I can use the spell to bind tRump. I did it every month for 4 years (missing only 3 months). It is a spell to keep tRump from harming everything. I kept all of my supplies since "ya never know". It's a pagan thing.

I love shooting the waxing or waning crescents too, but too often we're clouded out! It's frustrating.

Good luck with Nov. 11th.

Maybe one of my various activist efforts will be successful. At least I feel like I'm doing something/anything besides getting an ulcer and continued insomnia.

My great, great, great...grandmother (late 1600's) was the only person to be tried as a witch in PA. William Penn was even there. The neighbors blamed missing livestock and other things on her. She was found not guilty. I'm hoping that if she were a witch she may have passed that DNA down to me.
