Good morning, Bluesky. I have been getting a few new followers and felt I should reintroduce myself. I'm Scott; #husband, #father, newly #DisabledVeteran, #Nurse, #photographer living in Southern Nevada. Here are a few of my photos there are more at ScottWGonzalez.com.
A macro image of a dandelion seed parachute with a drop of water resting on its top. A dandelion flower can be seen in detail through the water drop. The background is an aqua color on the top and dandelion yellow on the bottom. The seed is being held up by resting in a medical needle. A calm pool in Baker Creek, the wavy reflections of the nearly white sky and autumn colored trees can be seen below the gray and tan boulders that are in the water. The creek disappears into the distance and is bordered by orange and yellow leafed Aspen. Comet c/2023 a3 and the Milkyway in a dark blue night sky with many stars over a mountain range. In the foreground is a Joshua Tree light painted under the Milkyway on the left and a not light painted Yucca on the right. Between the foreground plants and the mountains other vegetation is visible.

I enjoy #rainbows and have to push down the thought that this is the biblical sign from God to humans that he will now kill them all again with a flood from rain.

A rainbow under a gray cloudy sky. There are dark mountains on the left and right of the frame. The foreground and lower third or the frame is a desert scene with some low vegetation and yellow orange sand. On the right side of the frame is a 2 lane road with a variety of vehicles on it, the road snakes to the left and disappears on the horizon.

We are rewatching the last 2 episodes of Stranger Things in prep for the next season. It seems like this scene was a very long time ago. I just watched it play out and I felt a little bad for laughing at this meme.
A headline that says "the scene" then "what Mike saw" above two frames. A boy with short brown hair in a bowl cut is in the left frame. He is facing the camera and crying with a hand on his mouth. The other frame shows someone's thumb with a a thumb sized wig on it in a bowl cut looking like it is facing out the car window.

Happy #StunDay to all. Here is a #Sunset in the #Nevada #ValleyOfFire state park from 2022. Camping there was interesting.

A photo of a desert sunset. The desert mountains are in the background and are sand colored with spots of low green desert vegetation, dispersed through the scene are outcroppings of red rocks. The sky is a light blue with a white spot that is a highlight left from the sun in the left middle of the frame just over the mountains. Clouds are streaked through the sky and are various colors from slate grey to cotton candy pink on the upper middle of the frame. On the right middle going from the center the streaked clouds are yellow changing to a vibrant orange leading to a dull orange and eventually grey leading out of the frame.

I'm going to be real - publishing is hard. If you're not huge (and I'm definitely not), you can feel invisible.

Any support helps! Buying a book is one option, but you can also help by leaving a review, sharing on social media, or requesting from your library.

Absolutely No Worries. “Bright colors and whimsical details abound in this tongue-in-cheek picture book that tackles the subject of anxiety with humor and grace,” says Foreword Reviews. With an emergency parachute in her pocket and zombie self-defense skills under her belt, Emma is prepared for any catastrophe . . . so why does she still feel afraid? Written for kids with big imaginations and everyday jitters, here is a picture book that shows that with a pinch of courage, you can be ready for absolutely anything.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

If you haven't looked at Luna tonight I recommend doing so whenever you have a few minutes to admire her.
Take your time and bask in the magic that is in her Milky glow.

Happy #StunDay to all that celebrate. The first time I knowingly encountered Sacred Datura was in the #Mojave National Preserve in #California. I could smell them from 20 ft away. Orion was racing the sunrise and made a great background.

A photograph of a Sacred Datura bush that is flowering. The flowers are white look like trumpets facing towards the sky. They are coming out of green tubes that are between dark green leaves. The plant takes up the lower third of the frame with some flowers going above the distant horizon to be outlined by the brightening sky. The left middle of the frame is where the sun is lightening the sky to the point that it is white, it graduates to a cerulean blue on the top right of the frame. Just before the frame turns white out of focus stars are visible including the constellation Orion facing up and slightly to the right.

Hey #birders. My Dad who lives in Big Bear California says he saw 40ish Bald Eagles of various ages (some had white heads and some didn't) kettling over his house.
I have never heard of this and I thought they only hung out in pairs.

What the hell! The #Dodgers win! A double play and did the #BlueJay (sorry I don't know his name) break his bat?

Ouch. That had to have hurt that Blue Jay.

I am torn in this game.
I want the Dodgers to win because they are my lifelong team.
I kind of want the Blue Jay's to win because it will upset MAGA.
I just put my rally cap on.

Oh no all the defenseless billionaires and shareholders would be gone.
That is less upsetting to me than the double play the #BlueJays did against the #Dodgers in game 7 in the #WorldSeries.

I had a thought a while back and it seems more important now with the trump shutdown.
Are Republicans counting on citizens taking up the slack donating time and money to causes, so they can say that the government doesn't need to fund them and cut future funding?

AHHHHH!!!! #Dodgers win after 18 innings!

Happy #StunDay to all that celebrate. Here is a Great Horned Owl, one of my favorite photos, I saw in 2023.
If you want to see more #owls or #bird #photography, there is a bird gallery at ScottWGonzalez.com.
If you want a print for a holiday #present feel free to message me.
#EastCoastKin
A silhouette of a Great Horned Owl in a tree top. The blurred nearly full Moon is the backlight source. The owl is facing towards the viewer and its "horns" are not perked up and are drooping to the sides of its head. There are specks of light below the owl, it is moonlight being reflected off of the needles of the treetop. The sky behind is black. A watermark of my initials "SWG" is to the right of the owl and Moon.

My littlest daughter is the best.
Me: Honey it is time to wake up.
Her: mmmmmm (angrily)
M: what would you like for breakfast?
H: sleep (while pulling the blanket over her head).

It is hard to believe that it was only a year ago that I got to first process this picture taken outside Great Basin NP. This picture was taken on 12 October; I couldn't process it until I got home on the 14th. The first of many pictures I took of #Comet #c2023a3
More are at ScottWGonzalez.com
Comet c/2023 a3 at sunset just above dark mountains, the sky is graduated from a bright yellow on the lower right to a near black at the top and left. Stars are visible about halfway up the frame. In the foreground is a street sign that says "WELCOME TO NEVADA HWY 50" with a smaller sign that says "30 Years America's Loneliest Road" many sticks are on the smaller sign and there is a reflection from lights on the lower right corner. Other road signs can be seen in the distance as well as part of a starburst from a headlight on the lower right side of the frame.

I didn't have enough heavy cream to make this batch of ice cream (about 1/2 cup short) so I added some melted butter to it. OMG this buttercream frosting ice cream is so good. I am going to use butter in the next ice cream batch to see if it has the same effect.

A spoonful of cream colored ice cream seen from above. The spoon goes off to the right and is silver colored. Behind the spoonful is a stainless steel bowl with more ice cream in it.
