Jupiter and the Gallilean moons

Jupiter
My first shot of Jupiter and its four visible moons with the Canon G3X. Impressively clear given the shot is handheld – the IS in the G3X never ceases to amaze. From left to right the moons are Ganymede, Europa, Io(appearing to be touching Jupiter at about nine o’clock) and Callisto.

ISO400 1/30 at f/5.6 on full zoom and cropped/tweaked in LR. Exact timing at GMT+2: 21:30.13

Chirpy chappy

chiffchaff or willow warbler

This is either a chiffchaff or a willow warbler – advice needed! Whichever, he was enjoying the early morning sun in the garden at Kirklington, Notts. UK

Cone circle

pine cones

The secret of a successful garden is to train the trees and plants to do exactly what you want them to do. This pine ticks all the boxes on where to drop its cones.
