Barely crescent moon, tonight . . .



I've waited all week to capture this moon, but every night has been clouded out. Tonight it was finally clear and I was ready.

Quincy Jones and Frank Sinatra sure had a great venue to perform in!

I was lucky in that there was practically no air stirring tonight. That makes for clear photos! I really enjoy what I do.

And you know I'm glad to be back.

I am feeling pretty good; not quite up to my normal energy, but getting there. Waiting for the biopsy reports.
