Never gets old seeing them either! Massive solar flare today, and cludy now with rain in the forecast for days .

the clouds pretty much crushed my soul last night, knowing what was above them. Boo, rainy weather, boo

Small Correction.
I posted the Turks & Caicos Ikelite Sunset photo, but then after posting I yanked it and replaced it with the crappy substitute.
This is the Photo I meant to post, but held off till now to get my Daughter's ok.

My thoughts are with the people in Turks after the Hurricane just hit the Beautiful Island. The Super Friendly Hotel Staff after a week, felt like Family.

Tonight, well today was actually where it was at. CME hit today around mid day AK time. It was fairly cloudy last week when I took these. I'm just stupid or something setting my alarm for every 2-3 hours so I can peek outside just to make sure it's still cloudy. Most mornings I curse myself for giving up the sleep, not this time though.

What are those Jesse???

They look like some sort of columbine to me but I've never seen blue ones like that. I'd like to add them to the other varieties in our garden!

Bill hit it in a sense. I just grabbed that one out of a couple hundred on a shoot at Phipps Conservatory. I'm going over things and will put out the good stuff later.

Picture of my kid playing for Team USA in China. This was taken during the national anthem.

Not entirely sure why, but this is my favorite pic of anything from my tank.

Yesterday as the sun was going down in the west, the moon was rising in the east and the sky was still very blue. Nikon P900 with zoom at about 1400mm.

I agree. Beautiful and creepy!

I love astronomy pics. We were going to go to the Dry Tortugas at the next new moon so I could try for a good Milky Way photo, but Hurricane Irma screwed that up. All the state and national parks in the Keys are closed. I may try going down to a spot in the Everglades to get away from the light.
