The constellation Crux with the splendid open star cluster Jewel Box and a hint of the Coalsack. A softener filter was used in this picture to enhance the colors of the stars. * The planet Jupiter along with the open star cluster Praesepe (also known as Beehive cluster).* Orion setting in the Southern sky (he is plunging downwards head first).

Horseback Riding
My first horseback riding tour on the estate. Sophia's horse is called Milamores and my horse is aptly named Sirius.
