Blood Moon and star Spica early this morning during lunar eclipse
The star to the right of the moon is in the Constellation Virgo. The photo was taken at 1:16:30 a.m. at my house in Los Angeles.

It’s so great to remember back to that great exhibition, and appearing in the museum catalogue. Now, I think this adds to the value of this unique print, which will be seen at the Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville, Vermont this year.
This one is the Hooded Oriole. Thanks to Luis Diaz, my printer, for taking the photo of me as we analyzed the images.
The moon is rising here, between the contrails. Mars is above the highest contrail. First photo taken at 9:01 p.m., about two hours before the eclipse took its first bite out of the moon. You can see Los Angeles in the distance. I like the wind blowing the bushes to the left in the bottom photo, and the lights in the house to the right. Then, I became intrigued by this house and made it more of a highlight in the next photo, taken at 9:16 p.m. Photography is like painting with light.
Here I am in my garden on May 24, 2008, holding the 15 x 22.5-inch Willow Flycatcher print before I delivered it to the Wildling Art Museum’s ENDANGERED SPECIES exhibition. Note in the lower right, the Anna’s Hummingbird is hovering above the feeder as if nothing is happening. I could hear his wings humming from where I was. I stayed still to allow him to drink and then fly off. Now for the second photo here, taken yesterday, the Willow Flycatcher framed print is still in the package that Penny Knowles, the Executive Director of the Wildling Art Museum, sent back to me. Now it’s off to Mickey Myers and Jim Gallugi at the Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville, Vermont, to be shown in their 2014 Legacy Collection exhibition, running from May 2 until December 28, 2014. Thanks to photographer Thomas Howard for taking the picture of me yesterday.
When you mount an exhibition, you have to test your prints. These small ones are looking good. My printer The Icon does a great job, and my printer Luis Diaz really helps a lot with his advice, and by taking a few photos of me, like this one with a Blue Jay from Vermont. The show will have larger prints than these, 10 x 15-inches in frames of 17 x 22-inches. The exhibit will have 30 photos in it. Should be nice.
