    The instructor was great, she taught me exactly what I needed to know. On the other hand it was a bit hard to focus with the cold wind and rain. When I signed up, I did not know it was going to be an outside learning experience, I was picturing a classroom!

    I originally uploaded this with the text description "exomalopsis", which is a genus of bees that includes the Eucerni tribe known as longhorns bees. Boy bee slumber party describes what is going on in the photo. The longhorn bees are known for the males engaging in "aggregate sleeping", which is what is seen in this photo. We planted native cup plants on our property a few years ago. They have been terrific hosts for various native insects. These longhorn bees just chose the cup plant flowe

    Visiting the John Bell Zoo for the first time while visiting my parents. Enjoyed the zoo so much I can back the very next day. The highlight of my visit was seeing the Lynx kits running and playing in their outdoor habitat. I spend half the day watching and photography of them. In the photo, you see one of the kits finally taking a moment to rest but at the same time sees the size of my camera - Fuji GFX100.

    Was lucky to have a meteor fly across the sky as I was taking this photo. I've always wondered at the night sky. Even now, anytime I see a meteor or even a satellite it still fills me with excitement. Astrophotography allows me to share that wonder and excitement with others.
