Clouds crawl in western sky
Spot the sun, orange and black
Trees try on gold, like grasses
Watch contrail over crescent moon
Watermelon colored mountains
Spot The Sun

Burned
My Canon sun filter got burned by the sun.
I had not tested my Canon sun filter for the Bazooka before the eclipse. I should have. Since it fits at the back of the lens, the sun simply burned through it. I used an old iPhone 6 with a single lens to photograph the eclipse through the eyepiece of my telescope. I didn’t have time to mess with putting a camera on the telescope, plus people wanted to look through the telescope because the clarity was amazing.

Since I had to move the iPhone around on the eyepiece for each photo, the GIF is a bit jumpy.

The color of the sun becomes whiter as the eclipse advances because the phone’s camera overexposed the sun because of the dark side of the moon.
Hound Dog
“You ain’t nothing but a hound dog!” “Very observant, Your High-n-Ass!”
Sun Spots
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta starts tomorrow. A few balloons flew this morning.
Black spots on the sun
Rogue amebas worship them
Offerings well done

A Morning Song & Moutain Chickadee
Resa’s Tree was having a wild hair day at dawn.
Towhee singing a morning song.
A Mountain Chickadee made a quick stop on the garden cart. I barely got in two shots edgewise.
Butterfly on Brian’s favorite flower.
Lady Banks. Our first rose to bloom.
Contrails at dusk disturbed the ghosts, who went plasmatic on me.
Venus and Sliver Moon in western sky. Clouds, contrails, and stars in southern sky. Stars over luminous cottonwoods in northern sky.
Resa’s Tree blowing off steam after having wild hair at dawn.
Hmmm! Temperatures aligned.
Like A Virgin In The Night
Tulip shines in white
Like a virgin in the night
She blooms and she waits

Puddle ducks in the ditch
Flying saucer or cloud?
Owlets looking at Laurie and me.

A Bunch Of Photos
Dawn @ 25º F
Geoff bitched at me last night for commenting on his photos rather quickly. I did make a quick pass through them. I can take in images rather quickly. However, I did not read anything he wrote. As I explained to him, my eyes are really messed up, so I can’t see very well to read right now. You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting the images I normally post this time of year, i.e., cranes, owls, other critters, the bosque, and the Rio Grande. With my bad eyes, I don’t feel like going out and looking for things to photograph. I’ve been working on music more than photography lately. As far as other bloggers’ posts, I can read short pieces, but I have to skim longer pieces if I read them at all. As far as a lot of bloggers’ posts I would normally comment on, I don’t comment if the posts require a lot of reading.
Anyway, took a bunch of photos today between working on music videos, watering, playing guitar, doing laundry and dishes, and hearing cats.

Spunk in the rags. Marble under a hoodie over the heater vent.
Beaker. He doesn’t like his picture taken. He keeps moving so it’s hard to get a clear shot using effects.
