Looking great, GaliWalker! I was lying low yesterday, but the sun was out, so I headed down into the park. The salmon are in the stream, coming up to spawn. CHub and coho, according to the signs. Here’s a crappy cell phone photo: I have a video of a couple of them crossing the riffle at the mouth of the creek. They did a lot of circling and bunching up, then finally a couple led the way with immense amounts of splashing and thrashing. I can’t load that here, though.

I love the calendar GaliWalker and rebeccad that is a fascinating picture even if it is “crappy” because it feels abstract and then suddenly I see what it is. I’ve been picking pictures I like from each month for my calendar too. Not there yet but I think I got ten months chosen

To avoid yesterday evening's election coverage, I worked on my calendar for 2023: I've had an extremely productive year with my astrophotography, and started working on my year end compilations as well....36 separate targets and nearly 2 months still left in the year.

This year has been extremely good for my astrophotography. Well above normal numbers of clear nights and most of all no smoke ! The past month I was able to get 8 nights in on my most difficult target yet, CTB1/A bell 85. This is a grand total of 35.5 HOURS of exposure. It's 425, 5 minute exposures.

swimswithtrout, your astrophotography continues to blow me away. I'm going to try to pull together a calendar before the end of the year; I made one last year for my Mom and she enjoyed it. But I've got a lot going in the photo department, on top of trying to draft another novel this month.

I am grateful to be from "The Hub of the Universe." I've lived well over 80% of my life in the Rockies but the stories I could tell of The Tam and other legendary Irish Dive Bars would horrify some and incapacitate others with laughter. "May you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you're dead."

Coming home yesterday after dropping the granddaughter at school, found these three big bulls in my driveway but they soon strolled through the neighbors yard and out of sight.
