Blue Dasher #dragonfly on a Red Yucca flower spike in our front #garden yesterday evening. Last year dragonfly sightings/photo ops at the house were very few and far between so I’m hoping this is a sign of better luck this year.

Jasper contemplates his #Caturday agenda - wide open and full of possibilities - as far as in which chair or bed he will spend the day sleeping. Decisions decisions.

Jasper suffering through yet another of the regular hugs he receives from my spouse. I see the silent cry for help in his eyes but I can do nothing for him. Tough it out Jasper.

Winter’s first full #moon.

December’s full moon is called the Cold Moon. With my bad leg I haven’t been able to get out and about with my big camera lately, but this view presented itself through my bedroom window earlier this week. Shot multiple images with a 600mm telephoto, handheld, while sitting in my recliner, and then created a focus stack composite.

A Gulf Fritillary #butterfly (Dione vanillae) enjoying our front garden zinnias yesterday - the last day of warm temperatures for a while, a cold front came in around sunset and we’ve dropped 40 degs F since then, woke up to cloudy, rainy weather with temps in the mid-40s (~7 C). Feels more like proper Halloween-ish weather so I don’t mind, especially after the blazing hot summer we had here.

#introduction updated - I guess I’m no longer a newcomer. I became active here after abandoning the bird place - a very positive change.
I’m a software engineer on the #Orion / #Artemis program so I follow #space & #science topics. Also of interest #photography / #travel / #nature / #environment / #art / #geology / #gardening / #politics.

All photos I post - other than boosts of others’ work - are my own © 2023 Milian Kurten.

These are from a Nov 2022 trip to Big Bend National Park, #Texas.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite I mean, I guess I should have passed up a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness an amazing celestial event in person and instead just stayed home and scrolled the photos that “everyone else on earth” was taking of the event, with an occasional break to shame-post strangers, but I guess it’s just an insurmountable character flaw of mine that I selfishly and unthinkingly went out and did a terrible thing to the planet. Someone should stop me before I do it again.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite well I drove an electric car and I live in a state that gets 40% of its electric power from non-fossil sources, does that help? And should I care what an uninformed, judgy person thinks?
