Stars, North by Northwest

It's a windy night in the valley, but the moon is still plump and bright and illuminating the slopes behind our home.

Hunkering down in the lea of the house, I set my trusty Nikon E series 70-210 F4 to infinity to capture a glimpse into the past through the night sky, this time facing NNW.

I'm finally up-to-date on my blips too. I'm now planning shots for the coming days that do not involve shooting from the confines of the garden now that my head is clear.

Not that there's anything wrong with shots in the garden of course, especially when you can capture a bee waking up, like on yesterdays entry...
