I find myself in the same position I was in during the early days of the birdsite, wondering what to post. Don’t want to be political or polemical in these early days, but mustn’t be too bland either. Not going to show you the scones I baked, share my latte art or describe my sourdough starter. Nor should I plug my current productions just yet. Easy enough to know what we don’t want Mastodon to be …

… anyway, that’s my current thinking

Painted this little fella a few years ago for my wife - he's one of our rescues.

Meet Mr. Wadeson...
Found as a pup in a barn with 200 other dogs. We think he's around 13 now 😊

From AstroFalls in New South Wales, Australia:

The November 8 eclipse in the Earth’s shadow.

If you take pictures throughout the duration of a lunar eclipse, you can use them to reconstruct an image of the shadow of our own planet, projected out into space.

This dark region of shadow is called the umbra, and as the moon passes into the umbra it is cast in a red/orange light from the sunrises and sunsets on our planet.
