• Did you see the Persied Meteors last weekend? I saw some Friday Night and Saturday morning. I stayed up to watch them peak Sunday morning, but the marine layer rolled in around midnight and wiped out the view. I saw a few more on Sunday night.

  I’ve been out looking at the stars a lot lately. I just bought a telescope and I’ve been having a lot of fun checking out the moon and the planets. I tried looking at the Orion nebula, but it certainly didn’t look like the pictures I’ve seen. It just looked like a bluish fuzzy spot in the sky.

  I was a little bit disappointed. Perhaps the moon was interfering with my view? I went up to my computer and set about making my own nebula.

  The result, “Starbirth” is now up for your review. I’ve only been working on it for a couple of days now, and I might have more to add. Any feedback you might have would be helpful.

• I was going to put this one in the Pickle Jar, but Jessie saw it, liked it, and told me I should put it in the gallery. I was a little hesitant, but she’s usually right about these things. Anyway, I’ve added “Tropical Moon of Thetis” to the gallery. As you can guess from the title, it is a melding of “Tropical Moon” and “Thetis”. It’s on the New Images page and I hope you like it. I’m going to move onto something different now.
• I recently did an interview for Jerry Compansano over at Digital Artworks. It’s up now if you are interested.

• I’ve added “White Magic“, “Singularity“, and my latest work “Thetis” to my poster collection.

• Just added “Thetis” to the gallery. I’d been working on a World Builder landscape but a few days ago I decided it wasn’t going where I wanted it to. I shifted gears and took another path.

  I still haven’t decided if I’m going to leave this one alone or add more elements. I like how the planet looks by itself on my desktop, which is why I’m posting it today. If you have any feedback, don’t hesitate to send it over.

• The people over at Zazzle offered me a free poster and I picked “Haiku“. It arrived yesterday in the mail and I have to say that I’m very impressed. I’m having it framed and it should be up on in my house before the weekend. This was the first time I’ve ever gotten a print in the mail that hadn’t been wrinkled or otherwise damaged. They do great work.
