Started the day at -10F. Thankfully the polar vortex is retreating from this area. Definitely a strange February. It would just start snowing at random. Sometimes we’d have blue skies and snow. I dunno, but I might be wearing shorts when it hits 30 later this week.
Candy store in Windsor, Sonoma County, California. The owner/worker had a heart attack when I took the photo. Proprietary layout?
Shot at 1400 iso with my D80 and 18-200 VR zoom.
One I shot a couple of weeks or so ago:
Odd Man Out
Odd Man Out
Butterfly 🦋 garden from this past November.
Debated alternate choice for weekly contest "Study" as it is studied in many ways - both cultural and the historical context as the first book created with movable type. Gutenberg Bible on public display at the Beinecke Rare Books and Manuscripts Library at Yale University.

Flipping the bird..... Actually, the bird was flipping himself, as to my astonishment, a Canada goose was out in the lake doing somersaults! It was funny to see as he literally went head-over-heels and was clearly enjoying himself as the other geese just kept on swimming as usual. I think he was happy that they could swim freely in the water again, no ice getting in their way.
Hmm back to my original Olympus and 2004. That camera had some issues with close-up stuff, but did just fine with this tiny Viola flower.
I have a small flock of geese that fly over my house every day. They spend the night at a pond at the waste disposal plant just North of me then they leave every morning. At 6:15 PM they return again for the night, honking all they way.
We had a 20c swing this week. From snowshoeing to rock climbing maybe if it doesn't rain.
On a chilly walk today; it's about 24F and breezy. All around the trees are covered with ice, which is quite magical, but hard to capture in afternoon light (when it's warmest to be outside).
Been sorting out my photo libraries lately, a bit laborious but some great memories. Heres one from a very warm November 2018 taken on a sony rx100.

Thanks for tagging me: This is perfectly true. I do love them - actually, daffodils bring a genuine smile to my face any time I lay my bespectacled eyes on them.
The Orion Nebula
A departure from the norm for me, this image is the Orion Nebula, shot with a Canon 100D DSLR attached to my 8" Newtonian Reflector Telescope on a motorised tracking equatorial mount - from my back garden in SW Scotland.
209 subs @ 10s / ISO 1600 along with 30 Dark frames, 30 Flat frames and 42 Bias frames.
To the knowledgable and experienced deep space astrophotographers, there is a lot "wrong" with this image - and it would probably get critiqued to pieces - but I'm delighted with it - and that's what matters to me. I'm not an expert and saw it more as a fun experiment that has turned out to be rewarding beyond words.
