Comet NEOWISE over Horseshoe Pond. (Photo by Dorothy Thayer)Coment Neowise, seen from Mosher Hill Road, on July 15. Reports indicate that Neowise will be closest to earth on July 22. (Photo by Steve Muise)Comet Neowise appearing to intersect a contrail, seen from Mosher Hill Road, on July 15. See Comet Neowise in the North/Northwest sky, locate the Big Dipper just when the stars start to shine after sunset, and look down to the right. Binoculars help for a good view.

(Photo by Jane Naliboff)Unaware of the rest of the world, loons offer a look at peace. (Photo by Jane Naliboff)Loon eggs up close. (Photo by Jane Naliboff)If you’ve ever wondered how loons hold onto fish underwater look closely. They have sharp rearward facing projections on the roof of their mouths and tongues to hold the slippery fish in place. They open and close their mouths on the nest to stay cool in the heat, which is how I was able to get the shot, much like a dog pants rather than showing misinterpreted aggression.

I will surmise that the colors resulted from atmospheric dust or a plane contrail in front of or behind wispy clouds. It was one of the unexpected surprises that come with astrophotography. (Photo by Jane Naliboff)Although I didn’t see Neowise, the only reason I was out at night at the edge of a pond with bats flying ovehead, the night sky had plenty to offer with an abundance of stars. My search for Neowise continues. (Photo by Jane Naliboff)The copious moisture recently has produced some fungi the size of apples. (Photo by Jane Naliboff)
Lovely pictures once again. We certainly do enjoy them!!!
Beautiful colors this week, I look forward to seeing pictures every week. Great job .
Striking dragonfly photo. Jane N comes through again with the unique sky over Egypt Pond. Jane, looking for comet view? Come over to West Rd for one of the best NW views in Franklin County.
Amazing photos!!
You all never let me down ! These photos are wonderful, thanks to all🙂
Since we are discussing the sky., nice pics aside we should be discussing the chem-trail spraying that hides much of the night sky wonders of the world from us. And at least we need to have some discussion about the jets dumping fuel posoning our air,earth,and water. Thousands of galions of fuel is dumped by planes preparing to land in Bangor in case anyone isn’t aware of it. If a consumer spills a few gallons of heating oil it’s a big deal but these planes continually are dumping thousands of gallons,the rationale is for safety reasons thay don’t want a plane landing with much fuel left on board. Something has to be done about this or soon the wildlife will vanish.
And as for the naysayers chemtrail spraying is well documented under the name of government programs that fund their weather modification.
