nebula

You know the saying if life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Well, I took some artistic liberty and made a pastel drawing of some pink lemonade with a twist of blueberry and a splash of cherry.

Clouds—  They hid the sky, so I made my own Orion Nebula.

If it’s clear tonight I will make a “bona fide” shot of Orion.

Update:  My first telescope test drive was cancelled due to weather.  Two more to try for.  One in the morning at 4 AM.  Wish me luck!
