One tree prominent in a sparse forest, the ground covered in snow.
Snow has melted along a hiking trail through the woods.

The light streak of a rocket launch arcs over a beach, illuminating the water. Faint, short star trails are visible in the sky.
Since @flightclub.io joined Bluesky, here’s a rocket launch photo I took back in December from New Smyrna Beach.

A hiking trail winds through the woods in late autumn, the trees bearing orange leaves.
Last autumn, hiking Fiery Gizzard. #photography

“When the enclosure of the psyche is complete, we lose the right to wander and roam and loaf about in thought, just as the enclosure of the commons restricted freedom of movement and disdained economically unproductive but life-affirming forms of leisure.”

Stumbled on this letter from Tolkien to Auden today. There's a wealth of wisdom latent in these lines—for writing and for living.

The Milky Way’s core rising vertically in the sky over a dark road, framed by the silhouettes of trees.
Finally got a Milky Way photo this summer. Just after midnight on an Alabama backroad.

The Milky Way rising behind a silhouetted ridge and pine tree.
My plans to photograph the Milky Way this summer have thus far gone awry, so here’s a shot from last year in Kings Canyon NP.

General intro: I’m a scientist working on space things and at this point mostly use social media to share photos. I care about the science/faith conversation, but try to engage sparingly with The Discourse.
