Sunset behind a thicket of thistle in bloom...
...and here backed by ochre clouds

ImageQuest Family Camping - Memorial Day Weekend 2005 at Montana de Oro State Park
I joined Dave Wyman's family camping trip, bringing along my 8" Meade telescope and solar filter to show the kids the sky. Good company, great kids, dark skies, excellent meals, and lots of fun all around.
