Snow Moon.
Here's a picture that David took on 2 February 2007 of the full moon, this one known as the Snow Moon because it is the first full moon in February. The photo was taken with a new Pentax K100D DSLR, attached at the prime focus of a Celestron C-8 telescope via an f/6.3 focal reducer, effectively making it a 1270 mm telephoto lens for the camera. Some mild post-processing. Click image for a truly huge view in its own window.

As long as you send images to me (and I hope it will be for forever), I shall continue to share them with my readership. My purpose for posting these images is to remind all of us of the grandeur of the natural world and that there is a world out there that is populated by millions of unique species. We are a part of this world whether we like it or not: we have a choice to either preserve these species or to destroy them in search of short-term monetary gains. But if we decide to destroy these other life forms, the least we can do is to know what we are destroying by learning that they exist. If you have a high-resolution digitized nature image (I prefer JPG format) that you'd like to share with your fellow readers, feel free to email it to me, along with information about the image and how you'd like it to be credited.

Thanks, to both you and Dave: my laptop has a new background.
