Mapping the Galaxy is an old revision of an old photo that I just came across today wandering among other pictures of rain wet flora. We've been having some rain (which we need) so I'm not surprised to have found myself drawn unconsciously to its folder.

And here's a new version of the same photo made this morning, Orbiting the Moon:

I spent a lot of time working on some of the other photos in that folder of flora wearing rain gems, but didn't feel happy with any of the results. Even these above don't really send me into orbit. But they are mildly evocative of spaces far beyond and for that brief respite from too much introspection I am grateful.
