It's been a hectic but positive start to Fall here without much time for photography, but here are a few images from the past month.

We purchased our first home and moved communities, I took and thankfully passed the NCLEX RN exam, and we are now settling into our new life in the Comox Valley.

It's been a busy start to fall and my photography has had to take a backseat to more important things lately. Lots of exciting things to share soon!

In the meantime, here's a recent (ish) photo that I'm quite fond of.

Some late summer macrophotography.

This red-backed jumping spider was found hiding in the leaves of a blueberry bush and showed a great deal of curiosity towards the camera, often cocking its head in a curious manner as I took photos.

The Andromeda Galaxy sits against a backdrop of stars with M32, a second spiral galaxy visible just below it.

One of my new favourite photos: the Andromeda Galaxy (M31).

A total of 49 minutes of combined exposure time and a further 2.5 hours of processing to pull out the details. See www.aaronpengellyphotography.com/blog/ for more astrophotography!

My daughter loved her first astronomy experience so much that we decided to do another on Quadra Island, complete with her own travel telescope!

Hey everyone,

I figured it's time I introduce myself! My name is Aaron. I work as a paramedic and nurse, but I spend much of my spare time as a photographer with a focus on wildlife, macro, and astrophotography.

Feel free to introduce yourself, and follow along if you enjoy photography!
