Upon reviewing the last crop of self-portraits I've posted, it appears there's a rather a melancholy tone about them all - so here's one which I think (hope?) is more representative of my usually optimistic nature.....
Last night I felt quite optimistic and ventured out to find Comet c/2022 E3 (ZTF). While I knew that the comet would pass close to Mars, I was quite surprised it had moved from the north to the south. That meant I could photograph the much sought after winter constellation, Orion. According to Stellarium, the comet and Mars would appear to the top right of Orion, and then according to PlanIt pro I should see the comet, Mars, and Orion cross over Quechee Gorge.
I really wanted to use my Move Shoot Move tracker to either freeze Orion in the sky for a long exposure (more than 30 seconds), or get a long exposure of the comet. However with my Rokinon 14mm lens sticking through the eyehole in the fence, I didn't feel comfortable setting up the tracker while it moved the camera and lens on its own through that small space. I couldn't find comet ZTF in the sky, but I was quite pleased with how nicely Orion came out over the the gorge with Pleiades in the top right. I zoomed in on Mars in post, but there's not enough detail to see comet ZTF.

Original collaged notecard, all proceeds to Feed the Beast, a non-profit animal rescue group my sister and I started.
A less optimistic attempt this time, 3 shots (from memory) to make up this one. Taken on a 5 odd hour hike we did, taking us over a snowy saddle range. By the end of this day I was getting very worried about memory card space (7GB). I can't describe how stunning the scenery was/is, and no matter where you go, you're just continuously impressed. We've decided to stay here for few extra days, but I could spend months here... if only somebody would pay me
