Another Milepost - Schools are in Session

Hup! Kids are back to school. Grand daughter is in the first grade and has lost her first two teeth (another milepost!)
Took the MoHo in for service - Slide out has defective hydraulic - so It will be ready for some more 'excursions'.
Since 2016 is the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service, I am looking at a tour of the National Parks. Like many, I have been to many of them, but I would like to truly visit them and get some photos over a length of time. There are many, some 400 of them, and I am in my early research. Time to get some good reference books.
Eclipse of the Moon this weekend, so get out there. Astro-photos are high on my list of subjects and there are four NPs that are 'dark sky' preserves.
Here's my last experiment with night skies:

Straight up and some glow on the clouds from Ventura lights.

Getting there??

Summer's Over

I imagine that everyone had a happy, safe and relaxing Labor Day Holiday. Saw all the parades to celebrate the history of the working men and women in our country - What you didn't!! Perhaps it was because there were NO parades!! Curious to know if there were any in your area. There was one in a small town just North of here, but by the time I discovered it (searched all the online events calendars) it was starting. I remember when I was a kid there were three major parade Holidays. Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. Now it seems that the later has been generally co-oped by the businesses that Labor Day was started for - in the form of Sales.
It has been all family and catching up on chores around here and not much time for photos and Arcanum. I did get a chance to 'play' with a couple of shots of my grand daughter when we walked the streets of Ventura on Monday. What do you Think??

Just making adjustments in most of the sliders in Lightroom and watching the images change.

Stay healthy
