During last night’s lunar eclipse, just a few minutes before totality, an airplane passed by.

Once the sky was clear of interruption, you could clearly see Saturn (left) and Regulus (above) near the moon.

Spent an excellent day at the excellent DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park with excellent friends. I arrived early, at least in part due to the end of daylight saving time, and I wandered the grounds, taking photos of the fall foliage, mostly looking straight up using the bluest of skies as a backdrop.

The sparser ones make me think of Van Gogh’s Almond Branches or Andy Brilliant’s snow haiku (they’re not on his portfolio site, a terrible omission), but I soon fell in love with richer colors and fuller, almost cartographic forms like these:
