A seemingly innocuous city scene ...

uhh... the cat?

[Sableagle]

Indeed.

It was supposed to be "When you see it you'll go Awwwww!" ...

but the cat was giving me such an evil look that it was closer to "When you see it you'll freak" than to being a parody thereof.

Some photos that turned out pretty well:

Well, I just finished going through those albums and uploading the cropped and scaled images. Cheers, everyone!



That was such a tedious pita I'm considering not taking the camera on my next trip at all.

[Sableagle]

These turned out better than I realised at the time.

Waxing gibbous, so the left edge ought to be dark. 3 got the red colour but 1 and 4 got the surface detail.

A science facility, 953.74 km away. Not bad for a bridge camera.

In case people don't understand just how big Redwoods are.

Four-second exposures:

20x zoom:

40x zoom:

It is a beautifully clear night and my fingertips hurt from handling the bare aluminium tripod.

I was hoping to see the Andromeda galaxy in some pictures, but it's not easy to aim the camera nearly straight up on a tripod.

[Sableagle]

Well, this just happened:

[Giant Speck]

Couldn't find my good tripod and there was too much cirrostratus to get a really good photo of the moon, so fuck it.

[Sableagle]

It started out cloudy here, but thin enough cloud to be able to see the curve of the shadow's edge, then that cleared and it became a beautiful night.

A beautiful, cloudless, January 4am. I'm not convinced I've warmed up yet.

Two sets of batteries down and the third wouldn't supply the power to take stills, so I have a series of video clips instead. Gave them an hour of charge and went back out to get the curved shadow edge on the other side too.

The Pleiades:

120mm is best i can do...i think i need something better for the sky one of these days...the non smushed shows the stars around it but this upload looks rather dark unless you click on it. This was during the full eclipse i just left it exposed longer to get the red and the highlight on the edge

Those are some great pics, Sableagle!

Been taking lots of pics of the gorgeous places I hike everyday lately, and sharing with various internet communities. Figure I should share some here too. These are from my two hikes today; I should post some more from the even more gorgeous sets I've taken earlier this week and last, some time soon, maybe.

The Ventura River on my lunch break:









Gridley and Fuelbreak Road trails behind the foothills of Ojai, after work this evening (first time I've ever been up Fuelbreak, too):





I particularly like how this one shows the scars of the Thomas Fire amidst the new life of spring:




There is a house hidden amidst the distant house-sized boulders in this photo. Can you find it?



I think this is the high point of Fuelbreak Road trail; I came from the right and it continues down to the left:

An assortment of flowers from around my neighborhood today:

And a selection of my favorite pics from the past week:

From Fox Canyon to Pratt Trail on Wednesday:








From Pratt Trail on Tuesday:
















From the Ventura River bed on Tuesday:






From Cozy Dell Trail on Monday:
















From Seaside Gardens in Carpinteria on Sunday:




There's a whole lot more from Sunday that I might dig through and post some other time too.

Some pics from across this weekend:

Saturday:

Poppies and lupins blooming along Highway 33:

Looking from the top of highway 33 west out to Santa Cruz Island:

Looking from the top of highway 33 east out across the central valley:



Sunday:

Just some tree flowers at Daly Park, and a bee:


Flowers along the bike path in Oak View, and a squirrel:



Animals around Besant Meadows:


Including a flock of turkey vultures and a few snowy egrets all perched together on a dead tree:



Monday:

Krotona:

Flowers at Libbey Park:



Today:

More flowers at Krotona:


And tonight's hike up Cozy Dell Trail:

[Pfhorrest]

today was an awful gloomy day so i don't have a lot of beauty to share
but here it is anyway

from beyond Pratt Trail:







I'm jealous of this guy's house:

[Sableagle]

[Pfhorrest]

is that scotland?







I like how those flowers bring a little tiny bit of sunshine to an otherwise gloomy day.

[Sableagle]

First one is this view:

Others are all in this area:

I loved the flowers among the ash. It was almost as if they were celebrating having had a fire and cleared away the brush.
