My son and I took a quick trip to Costa Rica last week. We were delivering a dog to a family member there and thought it would be a good excuse to do some sight seeing!
Didn’t want to do the usual pictures that people always do there, crocodiles, birds, rain forest, etc. I wanted to do a more down to earth street photography thing.
Well, couldn’t resist a selfie! Me, my son, and daughter-in-law’s daughter and her boyfriend, walking around San Jose at night.
Photographed the “Blood Moon” on March 14. It was sure nicer than the last time I did this a few years ago. It was -15 degrees then! This time it was in the 50’s. This is actually called a Total Eclipse of the Moon, when the earth gets between the sun and the moon. The sun’s light goes through the earth’s atmosphere on its way to the moon, turning a reddish color.
An interesting way to do photography is to produce purposely blurry images. It’s the opposite to what most photographers are taught! But there is more than one way to do things. The “rules” don’t have to be followed.
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!”But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
And Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no husband?” And the angel said to her,
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.” And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
