As a good friend continues to state, “GO CREATE!” Here is a snapshot of our daylily in the front yard converted to a watercolor painting using the power of Photoshop.

Took a drive in the jeep on this gorgeous Labor Day to explore South Jersey back roads. Came across this yellow bike standing next to Old Glory. What an amazing find.
WANING GIBBOUS
WANING GIBBOUS
1/13s f/16 ISO100. EOS R5 w. 800m and 1.4x converter (1,120mm). Waning Gibbous. Illumination: 90%.
The Moon in its Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with a illumination of 50%.
YET ANOTHER MOON
YET ANOTHER MOON
Can’t get enough of the EOS R5. Another clear night to capture this 99% illuminated satellite (not quite a full moon). Next will be testing the RF 800mm with the EF to RF ring and EF 2x converter. How backwards compatiable will it be?
WAXING GIBBOUS
WAXING GIBBOUS
Last night’s moon. 1/30s f/16 ISO100. New EOS R5 w. 800m and 1.4x converter (1120mm). Waxing Gibbous. Illumination: 93%.
During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

MERCHANTS’ EXCHANGE
MERCHANTS' EXCHANGE
Black and White signature series. The Merchant’s Exchange Building in Philadelphia’s Olde City.
The Merchants’ Exchange Building is a historic building located on the triangular site bounded by Dock Street, Third Street, and Walnut Street in the Olde City neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was designed by architect William Strickland, in the Greek Revival style, the first national American architectural style and built between 1832 and 1834. It operated as a brokerage house in the nineteenth century, but by 1875 the Philadelphia Stock Exchange had taken the place of the Merchants’ Exchange.
The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2001. It is the oldest existing stock exchange building in the United States, but is now used as the headquarters of the Independence National Historical Park.
