Easter Eggs I just happened to like this intersection of color. These are three Easter eggs that I was getting ready to toss out. This photo was taken with Nikon S1 using the internal flash and with Vivid Color mode enabled.

I was just taking advantage of the cool evening – sitting in the hot tub and looking at stars – when I saw this incredible fireball arc across the sky. It was white-yellow, blending to a red-orange tail as it streaked. It broke into multiple heads, each glowing with a bright white light, then burned … Read More “Fireball” »
