4.5 hours worth of work later and only 20 planks laid. I have most of the foredeck teak planks down. The planks along the inside gunwales are all unique cuts and sanding to fit the curve of the bow to midships section.

Held my camera as still as I could. The sensor on this thing is amazing. I cannot even see half the stars in this photo with my eyes.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY ✨ I nearly didn’t go out 2nite. The odds felt slim… but you’ve got to be in it to win it.
A quick check of the stats, alerts & cloud cover around 19:30 & I thought, if I can reach the Keswick Stone Circle by 20:30, there might just be a gap...then BINGO #Aurora #Northernlights

Yes I am COMPLETELY nerding out on my newish #Linux workstation. And I am happy to report that KVM Hypervisor is far superior to VirtualBox.

My freedom of movement has always been subject to sudden restrictions based on decisions not my own, but my mind? That is a sponge and a fortress. I keep the learning curve curving, because to think I know a thing implicitly is to restrict my truest freedom: that I *think*. #streetphotography #think

Currently on the easel. Thankful for a job that keeps me on the search for the most beautiful, moving sights I can find in nature. It’s too easy to forget we live in a world of wonders.

My daughters spent several of their summers traveling all over WY/MT/ID in a big, hot RV (our chassis AC system never worked right) hearing their father constantly yell “somebody take a photo of that sky!”
Glad I did.

At least once a day, I think about the fact that the United States is trying to buy or steal our neighbours. That is an actual thing that's happening in my lifetime.

“What are we doing again?”
“Birdwatching.”
“How does this work?”
“First, we look for a bird.”
“And we eat it.”
“No, we take a picture of it.”
“Then we eat it?”
“No, we write down the name of it.”
“And then can we finally eat it?”
“We don’t eat the bird, Gerald.”
“This is stupid.”

I've been lax with posting my usual nature pics. Winter and work has that effect on me.
I'll try to post a daily photo, even if it's out of season.
Here's a pretty little violet. I found this late bloomer in early November. 💜
