Amazing concert with Hunter Noack, and Maude (a 1912 Steinway Grand Piano) at Silver Falls State Park. The audience has headphones and you wander... #hunternoack #inalandscape

Shot with Sony Alpha a6700 with Rokinon 12mm wide angle lens. Each shot is 20s; some are "stacked" to reduce noise (several shots overlayed)...

Milky Way last night. Red lights are the Astronomers' loos. There is a person lying and looking at the stars in one of them! Stub Stewart State Park, Oregon #milkyway #pdx #stubstewart

Last night, at about 12:20, some coyotes came by! #coyote #portland

I worry for the cats that we also see on this camera.

Baby raccoon holding onto a Google Nest camera

Here's what I saw

I was trying to read a book on photography in the garden and the family with 5 baby raccoons came by, you can see me at the top of the video... I saw the a baby knock down the nest camera. #raccoon #babyraccoon #nestcamera #nestcamerainperil #videoselfie

Someone knocked the camera down but the angle is quite beautiful, and I think we have a prime suspect #babyraccoon #raccoon #nestcam #portlandoregon

An orange bucket full of plant bulbs

This is a bucked of invasive Spanish bluebell bulbs we found when digging that hole. They have been composted. #invasive #spanishbluebells

No, that's not a body under the tarp, it's earth! We dug out the rocks next to this drain, will replace without the earth and wrapped in cloth to prevent silting again. We had some drainage issues last winter... the pipes were a surprise #shallowgrave #timeteam #hole #drainage #drain #dig

Fungus growing on wood with strange droplets on it.

Strange fungus at Tryon Creek - probably a Red-Belted Conk undergoing "guttation" the droplets are excess moisture and metabolic byproducts the fungus exudes. They grow on dead conifers. #redbeltedconk #fungus

4 Brown Pelicans floating in the sea with feathers visible

Interesting feathers on the Brown Pelicans at Cannon Beach

Earlier this week - first time at Smith Rock State Park. What an amazing place. Those are Cliff Swallows

The Milky Way looks a bit purple thru some trees with a roof of a building in the bottom left corner.

Milky Way over Sunriver. Finally got my first attempt at a Milky Way shot (single shot, 25s exposure, 12mm Rokinon Lens, Sony Alpha a6700). I learned a lot for next time!

Black cat is face to face with a raccoon through a window

A raccoon looks through a window at two cats one is grey, the other is on a small table

When there is a cat outside there is hissing... here there was just silent curiosity

You know you've had your car a long time when the every-other-year-tax-tags form a stack that sticks out more than the numbers on the plate... #1999 #newbeetle

First ever attempt at star trails, amazed by the colors. This took 131 images, 90s exposures over 3 hours. Light pollution is Bortle Class 7... classes from Kristine Rose Photography #startrails #sonyalpha6700 #rokinon12mmf2
