Can you see the "hummer"?

For a "point & shoot" camera, I was lucky to get this fella as fast as he was going. The light was just right, you can even see his eyes, but his little wings were going too fast for my little camera!

Echinacea as far as the eye can see!

NASA - What's Next For NASA?

NASA - What's Next For NASA?

To the Moon and Beyond

Exploration
NASA is designing and building the capabilities to send humans to explore the solar system, working toward a goal of landing humans on Mars. We will build the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, based on the design for the Orion capsule, with a capacity to take four astronauts on 21-day missions.

We will soon announce the design for the heavy-lift Space Launch System that will carry us out of low Earth orbit. We are developing the technologies we will need for human exploration of the solar system, including solar electric propulsion, refueling depots in orbit, radiation protection and high-reliability life support systems. 

***************************************************************************************************************************************
 I am so excited about this! Finally NASA thumbed its nose at Washington and said to hell with you politicians, it was meant for man to explore the universe and we're going to do it with or without you!! Thank you NASA for showing America what patriotism truly is and the spirit of America!! I'm so excited I think I'm going to try and get a job with NASA!
At last my 40 something niece and nephew will get to witness with their own eyes, a rocket going into SPACE and to the moon, again! At last 40 years generations, will once again see man going to the moon and walking on it and to Mars and beyond and I thank God I'm still alive to witness this fruition of the American spirit. It is alive and well at NASA!!

I was playing a tape of Mockingbird calls when this curious Catbird landed in the tree above me and looked at me. I was able to get a quick shot of this elusive fella!

About Me

My photo
I can be very social, but then a recluse. I like my privacy when I'm working in my flower garden. I like to meditate there with God and the birds and the flowers. I love animals, all God's creatures and I can't stand people that abuse them! I strongly urge anyone that wants a pet to adopt from your local animal shelter. There are many loving animals that are at shelters waiting for a loving home. You can find me most of the time on Flickr where I have a photostream!
