NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) recently captured this amazing Overview of Earth while orbiting around the moon. This individual image was composed from a series of shots taken on October 12 when the LRO was about 83 miles (134 kilometers) above the moon and traveling faster than 3,580 miles per hour (over 1,600 meters per second) relative to the lunar surface below.

No snow here. Very mild temps this year. I miss the way it looks, but so happy not to have to shovel it!! :) In fact, my hibiscus brought in for the winter has flowered again!

The latest puzzle. I'll admit that I did not finish this one. About 1/4 of the way into it, I offered it to the very bored looking DH (who is still nursing his new knee). He reluctantly said that he would "look" at it till the mail came. Well, I knew that once he got started, he wouldn't be able to walk away from it.

That light show would make a great crossword puzzle, casey. Moni, from that angle the statue looks almost like a live person. Cool photos, Jim. I particularly like the light switches. Jean, I love the close-up of the bells. That would make a wonderful Christmas card. There have been several photos the last few days that would be terrific cards - who needs store bought when you have photos like these?
