Evening walk thru the garden behind the cabin. This is where most of my photos are taken! Solar panels charge a battery that gives us a couple cozy lights inside πŸ₯° Thanks for visiting. #PhotographyOnX #FlowersOfX #NaturePhotography #Today

Lets play a game.... Take one aspect of this image and post your version of it. Then the next person follow.... For example, you could do purple, or flower, or bee... How many times can this go around? Mine is: a type of thistle!

People who have not followed Elon, Tesla, &/or SpaceX from the beginning have absolutely no idea how hard he and the teams worked to be where they are today.
Whenever I feel demotivated i rewatch this... Elon Musk in a living room in 2008, 12 days from bankruptcy, pitching a $109,000 car to people...

The core of this nebula is crazy This object is also deceptively easy to take a photo of. I’ve caught it with just my cell phone, no telescope (although this was taken with my biggest scope)
I'm pleased to reveal my 150 megapixel photo of the Lagoon nebula, captured with a 17' telescope over several weeks this past summer. Presented here in 4k- Load the full image to see thousands of stars! The fine art print is also now available here: cosmicbackground.io/pages/nu…

One of the most beautiful timelaspes I’ve ever ever seen! Watch this from @michi81895253
Morning light slowly paints the ridgelines. Quiet time flows through the autumn valley. (Time-lapse)

Put this in my shop today, available as a card, small print, or journal! It feels like it sums up my summer- the peach color, softness vs clarity, front vs side views, all my garden wrapped into one photo. Link to my site is in bio. Could make a nice garden journal gift for the gardener or dahlia lover in your life! 24 other prints on there as well (lol such a salesperson 🫣🀭) Many blessings!

Nosey Darner! I think this is a Southern Hawker which was flying in quite a dark background over some still water. Canon R5 and Sigma 500mm f4 sport (great lens) SS1/1600 F6.3 ISO2000 #dragonfly #insect #macro #entomology #bugs

Can you spot the moth on our dishwater jar? In high school my friends made fun of me (with me?) for noticing details like light thru water and the patterns it made… Today these were pretty cool to me even without the moth but the moth is also so beautiful!

These were ALL from today! It was the most unbelievable day of skies I’ve seen- all the way to sunset and moonrise and including a sun dog! β˜€οΈπŸŒˆπŸ€―

Good morning and happy new week! Oak leaves are turning now at our place in VT and many of the black birch and hickory leaves have fallen or are starting to drop. On to the deep rich colors! #NaturePhotography #sunrise

First frost ❄️ Bittersweet. Just some phone shots as the sun was coming up, before I came in to add a few layers of clothing! So so grateful for this garden and this spot on earth. And so excited to see what next summer brings!
