Some Fun Pictures

I had a couple of interesting photo opportunities recently and I thought I would share them.

The first one is when Jupiter and the moon were really close together one night.  Thankfully, the night was clear.

 The problem with the moon is it's so darn bright.  The moon looks great, but you can barely see Jupiter.

 This is probably the best middle ground without photoshopping.

To make Jupiter brighter makes the moon way too bright and the camera a little shaky.  Still, it was fun to catch these pictures.

The next photo opportunity came when we had all that snow and then on top of that, we had freezing rain.  I was picking up Nathaniel from the fitness center when I noticed how shiny all the snow was because of the rain and that it looked really neat under the street lights.  I decided it would be awesome to take some pictures.

 Everything just looked really cool.

 Here is our lamppost and our funny little Christmas Tree decoration.

I can't decided if I like the horizontal one or the vertical one.

Winter was long, but it gave me a lot of fun things to take pictures of.
