Secret Corners: Hiding in Plain Sight
The Enchanted Forest. In the hidden corners of the world, sweet mysteries abound. NOTE: I created this piece quite a while ago, using a rubbing technique (a block of concrete) to get the texture of the tree bark. :-)

Almost hidden within a pile of maple leaves and tucked into the roots of a tree, stands a solitary, spiky haired creature of unknown origin. Arms outstretched, with a slight scowl on its face, it appears to be thinking of something important - perhaps what it would like to eat for lunch. Far back, lurking behind a tree, a young girl is watching. Drawn in black, white and gray graphite/pencil. NOTE: This description is created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Whoa: The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft got a spectacular view of Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) as it passed close to the Sun. Look at that enormous, splintered tail!

This comet won't be seen again for another 600,000 years.

ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter caught an incredible view of a comet! Newly processed data from this January shows comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) in full glory as it flew by the Sun.

Custom Art Framing, a 🧵

Since I'm fully retiring from my semi-retired part-time job (2 - 6hr days/wk) at the end of the month I thought I'd frame several items for myself while I can still get an employee discount.

I invite you to join me for the ride!

This is the chop room where we chop the molding legs to size. I'm chopping in-stock molding. Black looks best with B&W photos & is also inexpensive. 1/12

Color landscape photo showing a narrow white workbench attached to a wall. On the bench are five stacks of cut to length black (between 8-12 inches) molding used to frame picture. In the upper right corner of the bench is a stack of three wood planks the top one has metal knife blades attached to it and a plastic card that reads, "Apex Saw Works, Dull." A sign on the wall reads, "Do not leave molding on the counter! Pit it back in the correct spot or cut it down for a ready made. See sign for length needed for ready mades." Below and somewhat tucked under the bench top is a green colored metal machine that is a foot operated chopper for chopping the forty-five degree angles on the end of the picture frame molding. There's a trashcan to the right under the bench and a white bucket on the left with blocks of wood in it.

Here it is: The first clear image of an eclipse of the Sun by the Earth, taken from the surface of the Moon.

This is what last night's lunar eclipse looked like from the Blue Ghost lander's perspective on the Moon. Amazing!

Blue Ghost got her first diamond ring -- light from the Sun streaming from behind the Earth. Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth.
