Watch: Chris Hadfield's Snapshots from Space

My favourite line: "I have one velcroed to the wall."

Grapefruit (colour)

The colour version of my black and white Grapefruit image. I consulted with my spouse who said the colours worked well together. What do I know? :)

Grapefruit (ii)

When I couldn't find a complementary colour for the background (unlike my previous citrus captures), I converted the image to black and white on a whim. I liked the result, so here it is:

"Papa, these are so cool!" comes a shout from the living room. It's a sick day for me, so I kept the Sprouts home today, too. Jo is sitting on the couch, watching an episode of Planet Earth. Earlier this morning I listened to my son share the "fascinating" details of what he learned about deep seas from yesterday's viewing.

"May I watch some more, today?" he asked. "I want to watch Fresh Water so I can see the difference." We talked about how important fresh water is for us as humans. For a moment I forgot Jo was five years old. The discussion was so mature.

I love that my kids are so excited about learning about the Creator's handiwork.
