Hey, Tony Pann ... What the name for the currently almost full moon when it hits on a couple of days? I would suggest the "cactus Moon," or maybe the "it's probably not gonna snow any more" moon. Tucson AZ

"180 Degrees Apart" Two shots of this evening's sky taken just a second or two apart. But I turned the camera 180 degrees. Moonrise and Sunset.

Just looking for a show of hands here. How many people out there are planning to build a submarine this spring? From all the ads in Baltimore Orioles and other baseball games on TV so far this season it is apparently more than I imagined.

Raise your hand if you’re a birder. Or would like to be. May is the perfect month for bird watching. My latest article in Baltimore magazine features photos and advice from the very talented Bill Vanko.

"It finally happened!" Not great pictures, but still.... These were taken less than a minute apart. Kind of fulfilled a childhood fantasy. Seconds later I narrowly avoided being crushed by a falling anvil! #beepbeep #LooneyTunes

"Cactus Cardinal" Alternate title: RGB Nothing but primary colors in this one of a Northern Cardinal perched among the soon-to-be open buds on a giant saguaro cactus. Ava Marie Tucson AZ #wildlifephotography

"Cactus Cow" File this under the category of "things I did not expect to run into while wandering a very remote patch of desert in Southwest Arizona...." Now I know what all those "Open Range" signs meant! Tony Pann Ava Marie

"Side by Side" File this under the category of things I DID expect to run into while wandering a remote patch of desert. But they are extremely well camouflaged and it took hours of searching to find one. The desert sidewinder is one of the smaller types of rattlesnakes in AZ.

"This is not Jupiter" It's the full moon sliding behind some conveniently placed clouds. This months full moon is known as the "Buck Moon" Tony Pann #FullBuckMoon #Astrophotography

Continuing the never-ending process of decluttering and found this blast from Baltimore's shopping past. Raise your hand if you remember shopping at Stewart's with your parents! There was one on York Rd. near WMAR. Where else were they? #baltimorehistory
