Thoughts and comments about the start of 2023, mostly focused on my inability to see anything in the night sky, including comet C/2022 E3. Includes a look-ahead to upcoming activities and content.
Nature Photography
Capturing Cloud Shadows

Some days are too opportune to pass on taking them in, and today was one of them. Here are a couple of pictures from my walk.
My First Lightning Capture

Still-Early Fall Bicycling
Weather has been steadily cooling but still very pleasant, pleasant enough to continuing biking on my local trails.
