This older (2014) camera body needed a lens to reach out with.

At least, that's what I thought it said...

Hi Jeff. You are not alone with this arctic blast that has frozen most of the United States this week. Even here in Sunny Florida, this is our birdbath this morning:

I agree, they look like gazanias, a "pest" species (at least here in Oz) from South Africa. They can grow nearly anywhere and take over...
See: https://cdn.environment.sa.gov.au/lands ... -sheet.pdf
Telescopes: 12" f5 dob, Celestron CPC800, 150mmf5 Celestron achro, Tak TSA102, TV76, ETX125...
Binos: Steiner Wildlife XP 10x26, Swarovski 8x30 Habicht, Zeiss SFL 8x40, Vanguard Endeavour 10.5x45, Fuji FMTR-SX 10x50, Tak 22x60, Orion Resolux 15x70
Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE

Gazanias they are, apparently. They are used as common area groundcover in some neighborhoods. My small patch of five flowers, growing in an otherwise grassy yard has survived the mower for about a year, now.

Taking out the trash this morning, this scene prompted me to grab my camera from the front seat of my pickup.

Hi all. Well, we had a few nice days recently but starting today it is all going downhill. Temperatures from 39 to upper 40's this weekend and rain. Here is a photo of a rainbar I caught early this morning just after sunrise. I call it a rainbar instead of a rainbow because it is just a straight line:

Astrophotographer Thierry Ligault started it. He posted a picture on Facebook of Licancancabur, an iconic volcanic cone in the Atacama desert in Chile, with a tongue in cheek comment for his friends. Soon, everybody else started pasting their pictures of Licanbur on his timeline.

Ironically, all of us visited either the week before or the week after the July 2, 2019 total eclipse yet none of us crossed paths.

This is my effort:
