Done Flying
After a long day buzzing the tree tops, we got in just in time to catch this most beautiful sunset.

Comets in Helix Nebula in Constellation Aquarius
"This infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Helix nebula, a cosmic starlet often photographed by amateur astronomers for its vivid colors and eerie resemblance to a giant eye. The nebula, located about 700 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius, belongs to a class of objects called planetary nebulae. Discovered in the 18th century, these colorful beauties were named for their resemblance to gas-giant planets like Jupiter. Planetary nebulae are the remains of stars that once looked a lot like our sun. When sun-like stars die, they puff out their outer gaseous layers. These layers are heated by the hot core of the dead star, called a white dwarf, and shine with infrared and visible colors. Our own sun will blossom into a planetary nebula when it dies in about five billion years. In Spitzer's infrared view of the Helix nebula, the eye looks more like that of a green monster's. Infrared light from the outer gaseous layers is represented in blues and greens. The white dwarf is visible as a tiny white dot in the center of the picture. The red color in the middle of the eye denotes the final layers of gas blown out when the star died. The brighter red circle in the very center is the glow of a dusty disk circling the white dwarf (the disk itself is too small to be resolved). This dust, discovered by Spitzer's infrared heat-seeking vision, was most likely kicked up by comets that survived the death of their star. Before the star died, its comets and possibly planets would have orbited the star in an orderly fashion. But when the star blew off its outer layers, the icy bodies and outer planets would have been tossed about and into each other, resulting in an ongoing cosmic dust storm. Any inner planets in the system would have burned up or been swallowed as their dying star expanded." - NASA Official Site. This photo was taken by NASA. Highly recommended for framed images.

Tree Silhouette Sunrise
I parked on the side of Farmerville Hwy in Louisiana to take this beautiful picture of a Ruston sunrise. The February winter barren tree silhouette is accentuated by the blue shades of the sky and the tan, brown, orange, and yellow shades in the clouds surrounding the gorgeous sunrise.

Bay City Sunset 3
This was taken in Bay City, Michigan - where I grew up. It was that time of year where you can't deny that winter is on the cusp of reality. More leaves lay on the ground than attached to limbs, some still retain color. Some flowers are still in bloom, holding out until the snowy blanket lays upon them gently, telling them it is time to sleep.
