From your vantage point on the deck of the Curiosity Rover Mount Sharp, the crater’s 5 kilometer high central mountain looms over the southern horizon. Poised in the foreground is the rover’s robotic arm with tool turret extended toward the flat veined patch of martian surface dubbed “John Klein”.
A very happy birthday to my Mom, Kate. She is 93 years young today. Click on the image to enlarge.
We stuck our heads in the retirement ranch this morning only to catch Mom playing bingo with her friends. We didn’t interrupt her since she looked like she was having fun with it. Verna snapped this photo with her new camera. Click on the image to enlarge.
This short video will explain a few of the reasons we moved to Wickenburg. Found this via our town website at Mike’s Road Trip – Wickenburg.
I highly recommend watching the video full screen by clicking the box in the lower right corner of the video area.
We dropped over to the retirement ranch this afternoon to take some roses to Mom. Earlier, we went grocery shopping and bought flowers, as usual. Verna took a couple of the roses and some baby’s breath and put them in a little vase for Mom. See the vase image here.
When we got to the ranch, we found Mom and a half-dozen other seniors playing a game of crazy eights in the lobby of the care center. Verna took a photo of them engaged in the intense battle of cards. Click on the image to enlarge.
I did a little amateur solar photography this afternoon. From SpaceWeather.com:
BIG, QUIET SUNSPOT: Ten days ago, big sunspot AR1711 was on the farside of the sun hurling CMEs at Venus. Now it is rotating over the sun’s southeastern limb where we can see it from Earth.
