M88

This is my first astro image in some time taken with Sheldon's 10 inch telescope. I'm still recovering from the removal of a renal cancer tumor in my spine which also had to be fused together with a metal clamp. It was the most difficult of my three surgeries, but once everything is done, I should be able to walk with less pain.
The taking of this image sure helps the healing process and would not be possible without the help of my friend Sheldon. Thanks also to Sean for a great job processing the image.
With everything that has happened in the past months, seeing this galaxy reminds me just how small we are in the whole universe.

Jasmine

Trevor's cat, Jasmine, is the alpha female cat in our house. She can be incredibly cute one minute and a sneak thief the next. Jazzy, as we call her, has the softest fur of all of our cats.

Snow Trees

This winter was not as bad as last year and produced beautiful scenes after a big storm. It sure looked nice until you had to go out and shovel it.

Casio and the sun

Our only male cat Casio loves to follow patches of sunlight that come through the windows in the family room. The sunlight makes his fur look a little different, but you can tell from his look that he loves the warmth of the sun. Taken at 24mm and F/2.0 with the Leica lens of the LX3.
