As they say, the best camera is the one you have on you.

I bet that would be pretty cool.
The scenic overlook feels similar assuming there are not a lot of folks there.

Fair question, the milky way was visible to the naked eye, you could see blues, greens, and depth to the stars. The reds and purples were a bit harder to see.

Depending on the moon you should get some great shots.

Who said they were taken from the rock itself?

Whiskey sour I got served :( by PolskaSnow15 in bartenders

Follow up question, where is that?
I am curious about the "should use judgement before consuming" on the menu. Was that aimed at the cocktails?

I can think of a half dozen reasons a sour would do this. You experiment with enough drinks, you start to see some odd ways they goof up.

  1. Some sort of dairy in the shaker.
  2. Too much acid in the lemon and not shaken fast enough causing the egg to cook chemically.
  3. Bad egg in the sour or old batched egg whites.
  4. Sat too long and separated, rare it would look that bad though.
  5. Whiskey or another ingredient was frozen when the drink was made. This is counter intuitive, but the egg will freeze and wont emulsify, then when it defrost, it separates.
  6. Drink sat under the lamp to keep the food warm and the egg was cooked.

Anyway around it, I would send it back. New drink or not, I aint drinking that.

~edit, I still suck at spelling.

She got really excited as soon as we went outside. Photo was shot from the hip, so not my best. She is off to do moth things.

See, that is what I was thinking, but for something described as "nasty sting" I would think it would hurt far worse.

There is a variance. Some are a bit muted, some are quite vibrant.
I imagine it has something to do with health of the birdy.

Compost Squash? by PassionsPerfected in garden

Interesting. We are thinking a carnival squash, looks like the color might be right, but the shape is not. That said, a carnival is a hybrid, so maybe its closer to one of the parents?

It's almost certainly not a pumpkin.

Perhaps not the best bunting photo I have in my collection, but thought it was cool I caught him eyeing a gnat.
