A wide field of Bodes and the Cigar Galaxy surrounded by other galaxies, dust and stars from our own Milky Way. Captured from my light polluted backyard Bortle 5-6.
I apologize for my lack of posts lately my CGX mount was hampering my clear nights of imaging with poor guiding and tracking which makes capturing the details of the night sky rather challenging. The new mount will be arriving soon and I look forward to seeing what it can do.

Went out to take some pictures of my sister's blooming garlic she has growing on our deck.
While I was there this Silver-spotted Skipper flew up and visited multiple blooms, providing multiple closeups from as many angles.
Best when viewed large. Just click on the image.
She has a den and 4 pups (which I have yet to see). Sits on the side of the road watching people and cars. Will let me get to within 8 feet of her.
The colors and lines of nature .... amaze me on a daily basis....these are cana lilies from our backyard....shot from above on a sunny afternoon.....

This male Rufous Hummingbird has ruled the backyard all summer chasing birds of all sizes on their way. Some take heed while others just ignore him! He is gorgeous out in the sun but rarely do we see him as when we are outside as he retreats to sit in the shade of one of the big spruce trees guarding his prized feeder. So it was time to set up the flash and take pictures which he didn't seem to mind at all! Eventually I will get him out in out in the sun............. maybe?
The Grackles seemed even more agitated today than usual after the rain stopped. All that posturing made for some tense moments at the Goodie Bowl, even though the contents had to be a little soggy.
All that drama also made for some interesting bird watching and made me grab my camera, too.

Die Süßkirschen blühen schon bei uns. Das ist sehr früh.
Ich hoffe, dass es euch allen gut geht und drücke die Daumen, dass es so bleibt. Die Nachrichten machen mir Angst.

The sweet cherries are already blooming with us. This is very early.
I hope that all of you are well and keep my fingers crossed that it will stay in that way. The news makes me fear.

Very large eagle feasting on a rabbit, or what's left of a rabbit, on a tornado damaged pine tree in our backyard.
From last autumn; my point-and-shoot's in the shop, so having to dig deep to keep the stream alive! Maybe something soon from my dusty Canon 35mm SLR, depending on when I can get off the island to get film (yes) developed.
This is my backyard buddy, peeking out to say hello. This groundhog has been living on our property for at least twelve years and is like an old friend. Backyard wildlife..
Our backyard Christmas Decorations this year, The Wife put new led lites on the Old Retired Angel and brought her back to life. Very Bright , Tough exposing for some of these leds.
I was working breakfast when I took a look out and saw this scene unfolding. So, I grabbed my iPhone and stepped out to take a shot of those clouds picking up the reds of the sun beginning to peak over the Chugach mountains in the distance. Although the mountains in the scene are the Talkeetna's, the sun rises over the Chugach range. The snow remnant at the end of the yard was a snow drift created by the strong winter winds that blow on occasion.
Taken 5 May 2024 near Wasilla, Alaska.
dude had a concrete micro-bowl in his backyard; ultra janky / ultra fun. check the video of him shredding it.
