Another image from Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) -- this time using the zoom lens at 500mm. Focus is just a bit soft -- operator error, of course.

Bonus: gibbous waxing Moon.

Last bits of brilliant yellow and orange foliage along the Rose River in Shenandoah Natl park. Water flows around the large rocks in the shallow river bed.

A dark mountain ridge is silhouetted against a soft, layered sunset sky with shades of orange, yellow, and deep purple clouds. The scene feels calm and atmospheric, capturing the quiet end of the day.
Itโs a new dawn, itโs a new day, itโs a new life for me-
and Iโm feeling good. ๐

Wait until you hear about postal blue, which coincidentally I was discussing in class this past week.
Yeah, there's a specific blue just for the PO which is very close to SkyDome blue.
One more view of this morningโs sunrise, with me walking the beach as I do most mornings.

How happy I was if I could forget
To remember how sad I am
Would be an easy adversity
But the recollecting of Bloom
Keeps making November difficult
Till I who was almost bold
Lose my way like a little Child
And perish of the cold.
Emily Dickinson

Though the male Red-bellied Woodpeckers visit daily, she has been hard to find this summer. Hopefully, now that nesting season is over, sheโll be around a lot more. (Donโt tell the others sheโs my favorite.)

I found a very friendly Keel-billed Motmot just a few minutes away at Heliconias Rainforest Lodge. These birds are typically very elusive, but I hung out with this one for an hour or so. It was so comfortable with me, it flew behind me to catch insects to eat and then went back to its perch.
