flight of the turkey vulture
My “favorite” animal in the entire world. San Simeon, California.
False Launch Sunset
This contrail looked remarkably like a launch from Vandenberg AFB at sunset.
curl
I see a constellation in the curl; Ted sees genitals.
Alight
Every year I try to catch at least one good image at the butterfly preserve. I’m hoping to get a few more over Christmas
ice crystals
22-degree halo in Santa Barbara, the night before an eclipse. A rainbow in ice.
Grey Day in the City
From the sculpture garden on top of the Met in NYC
elephant dreams
As it slept, this elephant seal seemed to be smiling and plotting at the same time. Not sure if I should be amused or afraid!
Welcome
Can you name the two landmarks in this image?

I’m hopeful that Shayna and I can get back to posting on Aperture more often. The light is certainly more favorable for it.

Manual focus. Wanted some nice bokeh. My mom made this ornament. Merry Christmas!

From Santa Barbara Solstice Parade. I’m not positive I took this one, but if I didn’t, I’m sure Shayna did, so it’s one of us.
paw prints

Today marks one month since the passing of my puppy, Chakotay. I miss him.
The Way

May has been a very busy month for us, and Aperture was not as high a priority as it should have been. That said, June is here, and I’m hoping that this picture is the beginning of a new way forward, and not just a continuation of the old path. We’ll see.
