I was out photographing frogs and toads. I picked up a BIG western toad to photograph, and this came out of it into my hand. Not sure if the eggs are fertilized, but I figured I’d try to raise them and release them when they are big enough. What do you all think? Is it worth a try?

I went for a bike ride today, and I stopped by a pond that amphibians breed in this time of year. I saw this in the canal, and I was able to catch them. Fair warning, what they’re doing is a little suggestive. After catching them, I realized the one on the bottom, the female, was the biggest...

You’re not the idiot, I am. I failed to label what they were. Sorry about that. That was a little joke. I don’t regard myself as an idiot. I just made a mistake. M13 is a globular cluster in the constellation Hercules. Basically millions of stars bound together by gravity in a spherical shape...

Got these pictures a few nights ago through my telescope. M13 M82

According to this: https://spaceweather.com/ It’s g4 right now. You may have a chance considering that spot unleashed one of the strongest flares of Solar Cycle 25 a little while ago.

So did I!

Aurora Borealis in IDAHO!

Looking at my most recent post, I realized I made a small mistake. Somehow, a comic panel of The Far Side snuck into the batch. I guess I mis-clicked and added it. Oh well, it’s a funny panel. Anyway, let me explain two of my photos. Yeah, that’s how slow Neptune moves in the sky.

Fair warning, this is a big batch of nature photos.

I’m not upset, but it looks like you’ve surpassed me when it comes to astrophotography. You did a magnificent job, congratulations! Here are all of my eclipse photos. One was taken with just a phone, the others were through a telescope. August 21, 2017. Weiser, Idaho October 14, 2023...

Now that was funny!

I found out the sunspot number in my picture. The sunspot you see in my picture is AR3628.

Fascinating. I’ve heard of that phenomenon, but never seen it myself.

What a great picture!

Still, it’s amazing to see. This makes two partial eclipses and one total eclipse that I have seen total. This photo is by far the best, because you can make out a sunspot.

It was partial where I was at. I couldn’t make it to the path of totality.

If you think that’s interesting, listen to this interesting true story. I’m going to warn you all, the details are a tad graphic, but no graphic photos. On July 12, 2022, I had a very big lump in my armpit. I was getting ready to go to the doctor, because it just kept getting bigger. One day...

Lately, I’ve been getting into a different type of nature photography. Normally, I use my telescope. This time, I’m using my microscope. Lilium Mitosis What I think is a Monocyte. What I think is a Basophil This was interesting. What are all the neutrophils doing in one spot? I...

I already put in my entries!

You didn’t tell me you were into space weather!
