Yes, it works, but it's not an official name of a body part. It's like belly, tummy, bum, etc.
Aaah...understood. Generally it describes the abdominal region as you said, but anatomically, it is an accepted term for the GI tract. "Gut" is used for the GI tract from simple invertebrates to advanced vertebrates like us. But..we can agree to disagree. This was a fun challenge this morning. Thanks, Jerry !😊

Thank you for your exceedingly kind words! I'm a rank amateur. The closest I ever got to a professional photog was a hi-school job back in the '60s carrying his equipment because he had emphyzima. Still have three Pentax K1000s from the 1980s, and got my first DSLR, a Pentax K10, but I haven't taken a photo since the '80s! Time to get my feet wet. AGAIN!
Please do! Take shots in and around your home, of friends and family. People , places and nature...you only need one eye, one finger, one camera and you qualify! So go get those feet wet...2021 is just around the corner! Be well!

Outstanding! I have to admit, I wimped out and stayed indoors. It was just too bitter cold where I am.
Notice I dont have the 2nd part of the event...wimps unite! In May, 2021 it should be warmer so I'll capture the whole thing, God willing and I'm still on the green side of the grass! Thank you!

Best creative composition I've seen. Nicely done!
Wow! Thank you! If my head gets any bigger it's gonna look like that moon! I've seen some composites of the entire event that are drop dead gorgeous! But thanks for the kudos! Much appreciated!

Very cool. Is there a simple way for you to explain how you arranged the images?
Software program?
Magic?

Magic! Lol. Nope....it was very crudely done. Lasso tool, cut and paste, chose a black background to hide all the edges and errors. I had the arrangement in my head and just resized and shifted things around till I got what I wanted. Haha like many magic tricks, the setup is simple but the trick looks good! The hard part was shooting in the cold, keeping lens from fogging, fighting the wind, etc! Thank you😊

Beautiful composition! I'm so jealous! It rained all evening, but had the audacity to clear up when the last of the eclipse was a thin sliver of shadow! Probably won't be around for the next one!
Thank you! I've missed all the lunar activity in 2018 because of cloud cover or rain! The next blood moon is May 26, 2021...don't you dare not be around!! I'm holding you to that and you better post some pics, Mr Cuckoobob!😡😊

Thank you, Bison! I wish they were sharper but I'll work on that next time! Glad you appreciate my efforts. It was a lot of fun figuring it all out and I used a great deal of info from UHH to do so! Still have lots to learn! Thanks again!

Hard to imagine a better summation of a special event.
Wow! That's a great compliment! I assure you ...there are many hoggers here who could make me look like I wasn't even trying! But I thank you!👍👍
