The Seattle skyline viewed from Kerry Park.

For those fans of the hit TV show "Fraiser", the backdrop used for the title character's apartment view was originally shot here!

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon.
Panel 1: A man enters an office saying "Do you have a spare minute, professor?" Panel 2: The professor says "Now's not a good time. But my door is always open." The man says "Actually, it was closed when I got here" Panel 3: The professor has gone back to her reading "I meant the other door" she says, pointing to a door marked EXIT.

Northern Lights in Hesperia, MI. Shot in 2023. Used my iPhone 13 Pro Max mounted to a tripod. This was the best I could manage as it happened to be cloudy that night.

My first attempt at astrophotography back in 2023. The only tools? My old iPhone 13 Pro Max, and a tripod.

Being in Española, NM certainly helped as there was hardly any light pollution!

May I offer you a perfectly borbalicious bird friend in these trying times? I believe this is the roundest bird I have ever photographed.
