Since he's trending, I thought it'd be interesting to note: I stood in line, waited over 90 minutes, to cast my vote for a candidate I knew had absolutely ZERO chance to win- Ross Perot.
It was my way of telling traditional politicians to "Fuck off!".
I still feel this way.

The only shame here is that these laws weren't already in place. Any doctor attempting to manipulate the gender of a child should be jailed for child abuse. And if you don't believe adults should be allowed to protect themselves, than you really shouldn't live in America.
@CraigSJ
Many people think the word "spoiled" means one that gets everything.
I argue that spoiled means you can't handle "no", regardless of how much you get/have.
#LunarEclipse
#皆既月食
Was such a beautiful morning! There was a thin cloud veil during the beginning stages of the event, then mostly to completely cloudy during the full eclipse onward from my location.
Yet, so outstanding to enjoy!
4:17 4:59 5:22 5:23
At just 22 hours, the skinniest crescent
#Moon
I've ever captured 🌙 !!
Many factors assisted the effort, including how "high"
#Luna
is above the ecliptic, the severe slope of the evening
#ecliptic
, and (of course) pretty clear skies tonight.
Very thrilling! 😄
#月
#Mond
The
#Moon
was spectacular, rising slowly "out of the lake". With hazy yet cloud-free skies, a wonderful halo appeared as Luna crept up the ecliptic, providing a fantastic sight! Enjoyed a freighter cruise down St. Clair, splitting the Moon and it's beautiful reflected light!
Felt so blessed to enjoy such incredible vistas tonite!
#Moon
,
#Venus
were spectacular together! And along with
#Mars
formed a wonderful conjunction (3rd pic, with Regulus). It was the best night of the year for fireflies (not pictured), which is special to me.

Across the canal. (The second one a "You drop your phone, you lose your phone" type of shot!)
Then sitting on the edge of treetops.
And yet another
#Venus
#Jupiter
look.
The morning crescent
#Moon
(with
#Jupiter
,
#Venus
) about four days before
#NewMoon
. And tonite's evening
#Luna
crescent, about four days after it shadowed the Earth.
Good morning!
The pre-dawn sky was mostly clear this morning, offering wonderful views of this slender crescent
#Moon
,
#Venus
, Spica, and other Virgo stars! ☆
Wishing a
#HappyNewYear
to everyone ❗
🍾🎆😄💙⭐
May you all be blessed with a wonderful 2024, have quality time with loved ones, and make many beautiful memories!
*Old photo I took of myself "next to" Venus + Jupiter in 2017. One of my favorites!
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! ☉
Was cold and windy yet beautiful this morning.

-Watched Swan couple enter the marsh from the lake for the first time this year. They built a nest there last year, but for some reason no cygnets. Remnants of their nest remain, idk if they'll use the same spot.

-Twilight geese
-Look at that southern horn!
#Venus
rising relatively high over
#Jupiter
now, from some of my familiar spots.
And did my best to catch Eta Leonis with the (nearly full)
#Moon
. But a difficult capture(!), given my skills, the dramatic light differences, and the equipment.
Back out in the field this morning. (20°F) Attempted AM planets in the East, but only Venus was visible. The low
#Moon
in the West, however, quite beautiful! So too was
#Sunrise
☀️ and these
#CobraChickens
, not too far from Canada! 🍁
Happy Sunday everyone! 😄
Every day is a blessing!
And with all the incredible views I enjoyed today, it was very easy to feel thankful and blessed!

A cooler evening tonite, as early hints of Autumn tease the senses. The waxing
#Moon
, bright and pleasant in the sky. 🌙
Through the binoculars, it appeared wonderfully just underneath the fantastic double star Zubenelgenubi. (Not pictured.)
A very humid, hazy August night. The young
#Moon
(4.5 days) looking glorious in the evening sky! But no sign of Spica (or any other ☆ across the lower skyline).
Tonight was incredible, special to me! Was able to observe and shoot such beautiful sights in
#Nature
! Fantastic look at the conjunction between
#Jupiter
and
#Venus
.
It was remarkably cold this morning, well below 0° and steady 22-30 mph winds.
But the crescent
#Moon
looked fantastic, and
#Sunrise
☉ was colorful and spectacular on the quickly freezing, wind whipped lakeshore.
It was a lovely few days, watching the crescent
#Moon
and
#Venus
drift together in Gemini!
Honestly, I was a bit disappointed that the prevailing smoke veil blocked my ability to see them properly in Gemini. Nevertheless, it's been some gorgeous skywatching!
Views of the
#FullMoon
tonight.
Wanted to share a "companion set" of the views I enjoyed last night, highlighted by a look across the Swan couple and their nest in the Moonlight.

and

looking spectacular, about a fist length apart now!
No shot at a very young crescent Moon, but a fun look at Orion and Sirius over the lake.

During a wonderful evening walk that started with some

skies, offered me some lovely Swan 🦢 observations (not pictured), and concluded with a stop at a beautiful local church this

week!
#FullMoon
#満月
Was fantastic to enjoy the beauty of the sky tonite!
There were high clouds, but it was mostly clear. Major stars, (including our own ☉ during
#Sunset
), were shining through beautifully.
Also, the crescent
#Moon
looked fantastic next to some
#Aquarius
stars!

Felt wonderfully connected, inspired by the incredible photographers and community I share here as I enjoyed some fantastic views through the glass tonite!

Enjoyed some wonderful Nature experiences today! Caught a beautiful

Strong mix of clouds tonite, both high and low. But a few of the evenings brightest objects managed to shine partially through, including this 12 day old

Moonlight reflection (00:29)
Just before I took this first pic, a woman walked up to me and said, "Aren't we lucky?"
We walked our separate ways, but I feel blessed I received this message tonite. Was needed, and appreciated. ✝️
Went out to try shooting the old crescent
#Moon
with
#Venus
and Regulus ☆. But the clouds (and fog and humidity) were making it difficult. But also, they made it beautiful!
Really wanted to shoot Jupiter/Uranus tonite, but some haziness prevented my attempts. But I enjoyed some wonderful looks at the skies and the wild bird activity around the lake! Was a beautiful evening!

If I stay out long enough, I may get a shot at Nishimura or morning Venus, or maybe even a cygnet during its "first flight" age.
But already some wonderful vistas!
