Wesley's Tool-Box

Just after taking photos of Saturn last Thursday, I could see that Mars was right next to it, so I decided to point my camera at it, as well. This would be the first time I took photographs of Mars.

Closest approach of Mars to Earth for this year would happen in about a month (April 14), but it wouldn't be quite as close as some of the years, so it would look rather small - it would be 60% that of August 27, 2003 and 62% that of July 31, 2018. Still, I'll try to take some photos when that happens.

Just when the weather was warming up for Spring, this mini snow blizzard comes in and bury the landscape with snow. It's quite a sight to see, and Celine wants to ride the sled again.
