Black-tailed Jack Rabbit
Petroglyphs National Park, NM

These critters usually run away quickly before I can get even remotely close. Here I got a view through the brush with my long lens. Love how the light illuminates the eye and shines through the ear.

Total Eclipse of the Sun
August 21, 2017

There will be a total solar eclipse across a great swath of North America next April.

I met with friends to camp in the middle of Wyoming to capture this photo using my long lens with special filtering film covering the objective. Look carefully at this color photo and you can see a couple solar prominences. I was amazed I was able capture the corona this well.

New tulip 🌷 in the garden this year called Tulip Queensday brought from UK online shop Dobies. #tulip #tulips #gardeningmastodon #springflowers #springbulbs
My first view of the aurora borealis. I could see faint purple hues and pillars of light with the naked eye. Long camera exposures brought out the rich colours.

Seems like a good time to post a couple of photos of brittlebush (Encelia farinosa - daisy family). This is a characteristic species of the sage scrub communities. Very common across SoCal. It has quite a strong, herbaceous scent. Lakeview Mountains, today.
