Whatever Weds. The Milky Way

I woke up really early last week and the sky was cloudless so I thought I’d go out back and photograph the Milky Way. The light-pollution is worse than I remember! This was at 3:49 A M!

Jupiter and Saturn are still shining brightly over the Pinenut Mountains. Mars has marched so far East it’s out of the frame.

Whatever Weds. Daybreak on the Pond

We had 7 inches of snow last Thursday all over Carson Valley! On Friday a friend and I got up and out really early to catch the sunrise and do some birding. Before we even made it out of our gate we had to stop at the pond to catch the wonderful color and scene at the pond.

The storm blew through really fast, but oh what it left behind is so pretty!

Whatever Weds. Snowbird

The Sparrows have arrived for winter! I’ve topped up all my feeders so they’ll have plenty to eat, but they seem to love the new block of seed and millworms I added.

Here’s I believe a Female White-crowned Sparrow waiting for her turn at the feeder.

I hope you’re all having a great week!

Whatever Weds. Carson Valley Fall Morning

This image is one I made last week. It was a gorgeous morning so, my next-door neighbor and I headed out to look for Fall colors earlier than planned. The morning did not disappoint.

This is my favorite image from the morning. I had it printed. It’s now hanging in my living room. Do you print any of your images? If not, why not?
