Weekender 15/16th March.

Thanks for starting a Weekender, MFI.

That's a nice photo. I like that the large cloud at top left is balanced by the clump of trees at bottom right balance each other. And the photo is quite instructive in that it illustrates how a blue sky is darker at the top and lighter near the horizon, which is in the distance.

I apologize for not participating much lately. It has been a challenging and busy 3 months. Both my wife and I have been dealing with the loss of close family members. And more recently we all have spent many hours cleaning up the house and converting a room into an enclosed and extremely clean space dedicated to home dialysis.

Next on my growing To Do list is working on our taxes.

So it will probably be several weeks before I can get out much for photos worth sharing here. But I did take a few shots yesterday of the hard pastels we rediscovered during our home cleanup.

I bought them around 1965; a 36-color set at a cost of $4.50. (Today they'd cost $40 to $55)...

   

And after these 60 years they are still as vibrant and usable as ever...

   

I had planned to take photos of last night's total lunar eclipse, but fell asleep. RATS!

I wish us all a good weekend.
