Animal, vegetable or undiscovered alien critter? It's at least part anemone or antimony. Who the heck let those blue streaks in? Trump blasted me again on the Twittzler and decreed predominantly orange fireworks. Yassuh boss man! Right afterward, I got a heads up from Goosifrier 9.11. They must be cohorts of Putin? The meeting MUST go on. Trump HAS to report per contractual agreements. Disclaimer: no 1 percenters were injured by having to pay for this display!
This followed up my quick start and chat on my nice park bench over at Roger's Grove Park after I heard the previous double blast that pierced my reverie. OMG, it's more orange again! Boy, is Trump ever giving my evening shots a terrible name! This looks like some amount of zoom on the telephoto and of course, the usual jiggles.
According to the city's web site: "Roger's Grove Nature Area consists of 54.9 acres adjacent to the St. Vrain Greenway and includes Fairgrounds Lake, trails, a shelter, outdoor amphitheater, restrooms, native landscaping, demonstration gardens and an apple grove with fruit free for your harvest! Design and construction of the nature area was primarily funded by the Roger and Roberta Jones Foundation. Roger Jones (1915-1995), enjoyed walking along the river with his wife Roberta (1913-1992). Both educators in the St. Vrain Valley School system, the Jones' wanted to contribute an environment for children and adults to visit, learn and enjoy. Roger's Grove was developed as a nature area, arboretum and outdoor learning center. Additional funding came from the Colorado Lottery and Great Outdoors Colorado."
I am rolling out this year's Fourth of July celebration using action on the medium telephoto-zoom. This looks like nebulae many light years away and many millennia ago. It seems a star field exploded in the background. I particularly like the veils slung by bony fingers that happened over the hand-held three second exposure. I got hand-held veils that trailed during hand holding. I do like those hand-held telephoto traces. This EXIF reports 200mm but I used a long zoom range over the reddish explosions happened as I triggered the zoom.
The lower strata are the Early Oligocene Port Willunga Formation, consisting of Bryozoal limestone, silt and clays, dipping gently southwards (towards the right on the photo). About halfway up the cliff, these dipping strata are truncated by an overlying horizontal layer of strongly cemented sandstone. This is the Pliocene Hallet Cove sandstone, consiting of calcareous sandstone and sandy limestone. This angular unconformity represents a 20 myr break in deposition
Odontomyia angulata (Diptera, Stratiomyidae) female. Size: 11 mm.
Focus stacked image taken in the early morning under natural light. This work is a gift for me, regarding the weather it was made in. Stacking living insects usually requires cool and windless weather. This time it was a warm morning with 25°C! However, the fly was friendly enough and stayed still throgh the stacking sequence.

Polygonia c-album, the comma, is a food generalist (polyphagous) butterfly species belonging to the family Nymphalidae. The angular notches on the edges of the forewings are characteristic of the genus Polygonia, which is why species in the genus are commonly referred to as anglewing butterflies. Comma butterflies can be identified by their prominent orange and dark brown/black dorsal wings.
To reduce predation, both the larval and adult stages exhibit protective camouflage, mimicking bird droppings and fallen leaves, respectively. During the later stage of development, the larvae also develop strong spines along their backs. The species is commonly found in Europe, North Africa, and Asia, and contains several subspecies. Although the species is not migratory, the butterflies are strong fliers, resulting in an open population structure with high gene flow and increased genetic variation.

I will never get bored of seeing people react when learning for the first time that our closest galactic neighbour – the Andromeda Galaxy has an angular diameter in our skies of approximately 3 degrees. The Full Moon is about 0.5 degrees across , so Andromeda is about six times bigger which is amazing thing to consider given that it is 2.5 million light years away so even at that incredible distance it takes up a noticeable amount of real estate in our skies.
This image (which is far, far from perfect) is comprised of the first photons captured in my new telescope from my back garden in North West UK. With a focal length of 1000mm and a crop sensor camera, the Andromeda Galaxy is much too large to fit into a single frame. A full moon at this magnification would take up just over half of this field of view.
