Went to the local astro club meeting last night to see a #WomanAstro share her knowledge, passion, and gorgeous photos of aurora in the northern hemisphere. 🔭

Sarah McIntyre, "Turn on the (Northern) Lights! The Science of the Aurora Borealis"

The statement, "Into the Thermosphere... Where the Quantum Mechanics Happens" appears in the top left corner of the slide.

Went naturing in the Bosque yesterday. Immensely grateful to live in such beauty. So good for the soul.

Went naturing yesterday at the BioPark.
Japanese garden. Pond in the foreground with trees in the background with shades of green, yellow, and red. The blue sky is mostly filled with cotton candy clouds, with the sun shining from the left.

When you're sitting on the couch doomscrolling with your morning coffee and hear the distinct sound of propane whooshing overhead, so you rush outside...

I want to give a shout-out to the staff at Albuquerque Museum. The guards in the main exhibit were so helpful and friendly, from sharing exhibit features to taking my photo. Thank you for the enhanced experience.

Light shining through acrylic plate suspended from the ceiling and reflecting on the wall the name of the "Light, Space, and the Shape of Time" exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum. I'm standing under a sculpture suspended from the ceiling at the "Light, Space, and the Shape of Time," exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum. The sculpture is made of chain link fencing with plexiglass tiles attached, reflecting various colors of the spectrum. A carved wood sculpture is not what it appears until a strategically located light source is placed on the floor. The shadow reflected on the wall is that of a woman sitting in a chair, legs crossed, hands in her lap. Exhibit at the "Light, Space, and the Shape of Time" exhibition at the Albuquerque Museum.

To celebrate today's momentous milestone, I'm going to the local art museum to see this exhibit before it leaves. Why? Because SPACE! I know. Different kind of space. But there's also LIGHT! So, yeah, gotta go.

Roses at the ABQ BioPark a couple of weeks ago. They're a popular landscaping choice. I'm always amazed at how well they grow here in the high desert. 🌹

Received an email about a recall on eggs and, darn it, I don't have a Julian calendar, so I don't know what dates. Is this a US vs. metric type of thing? 😆

Another Monday, and time to work at my “real” job. I’d rather work on WomanAstro. One is a paycheck, the other a passion.

Taking some time off this week. I have several things to get accomplished. Not only will I work on WomanAstro, but I need to finish planting my garden...
