David's Images of the Day Photoblog
After checking into our hotel, a few of us walked down to the beach for sunset. I hoped to see the “Green Flash” like I did the last time I was in Hawaii. The conditions were not right, but I did get some good sunset images. I processed these images using newer, current tools. You can see earlier versions here.
Gingerbread Loaf Recipe: Sprouted Wheat Flour (3 cups); Rolled Oatmeal (1 cup); Flax Seed (1/4 cup); Ginger Powder (1 tbs); Crystallized Ginger (1 tbs); Cinnamon Powder (1 tbs); Clove Powder (1 tsp); Nutmeg Powder (1 tsp); dry milk (1/4 cup); salt (1 tsp); egg (1 large); walnut oil (2 tbs); water (1 cup); Maple syrup (1/3 cup). Above ingredients added to Panasonic Bread Bakery. Yeast (2 tsp) added to yeast hopper and the unit set for Whole Wheat Bread (Rapid) and started. Three hours later, I removed the loaf of bread. It rose to within 2 inches from the top of the pan — and the house smelled of gingerbread. I only let it cool a few minutes before slicing a piece. It was good, but next time I will add even more ginger.
I set up a Garmin VIRB-360 camera to record the bread making process for a time-lapse video. Three versions, a 360 degree panorama, a little planet and a tunnel view. The tunnel view makes my waist look 3 times as large.

Earlier in the evening it didn’t look promising for a clear sky. I checked again after midnight, and did see Orion and some other stars. I set up two cameras same as the previous clear nights to take images for star trails, and if lucky catch a launch of a rocket from Virginia at 04:01. Unfortunately, I only got 15 minutes of clear skies before the clouds rolled back in. I did check again at 04:00 for 5 minutes, but it was still overcast and I didn’t see the launch.
I spotted several Big Horn Rams along Colorado 14 while driving back to Boulder from Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge. One day later I was on the Big Island of Hawaii attending a workshop run by Thom Hogan.

Snow from the previous day melted quickly, and the birds were back at the bird feeder. American Goldfinch, Tufted-Titmouse, Blue Jay, and House Finch.
