Today’s thought


“And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.” ―Khaled Hosseini


I took my super-duper camera with me this morning and photographed the moon in the western sky.

Also taken this morning...
Looks almost real!

Oranges are real! and this was taken this week (2/23/2024)

Mars? YES, MARS.

 I came upon this photo of Mars. It is a NASA photo taken by Mariner 9 easily found on the Internet. It is the clearest photo ever taken of Mars. This was on Facebook. Being an amateur photographer, it caught my eye. I have a Nikon P900 camera and I have taken many close up pictures of the moon.


Below are photos I have taken of the moon with my Nikon P900...Read on...It is worth a click for the moon pic. At least I think so!


I took those pictures myself with my own camera. What is your point, you might say.  I started reading the comments under the Facebook photos of Mars and was shocked to see the number of posts claiming those photos were fake! Now I know you can't fix stupid but this got under my skin and I contemplated posting facts myself on Facebook trying to educate the uneducated but an old saying comes to mind.  "You do not have to show up to every fight you are invited to."  However, I do own a blog and I can post as much truth as I want. Thanks for your patience. Barb Brooker
