Fall is here and winter is coming. Snow on the mountains is such a wonderful omen for this winter. We need all the snow.
Snow capped 14er with dramatic fog wafting off the peak and down the drainage.In the fore a green leafed tree and a gold leafed tree. In the background, high snow capped and fog covered mountains with gray clouds.

This is a photo of our home planet taken only a few hours ago! So what? We have photos of Earth taken from space every day. Ah, but *this* photo was taken by a spacecraft ON ITS WAY TO JUPITER.
From the source: "Mostly black space, most of Earth visible at the top right of the image. Part of a spacecraft visible on the left."

Two coyote teens run around and have fun - from when our pond had more water. Those are some big, moss-covered logs. #mammals #nature #dogs #love #trailcam #Seattle #wildanimals #goodmorning #PNW #nokings #coyotes #outdoors #BeKind

I had at least 4 separate coyote encounters, two in person and two on timelapse yesterday. We also had a rare hawk visit and rare Steller's jay visit.
A coyote in profile view walks through a field of Chamisa, head down slightly as if following a scent.The coyote is turned now and almost facing the camera, head still down as if following a scent.A coyote in profile view walks through a clearing in a field of Chamisa, this time the head is raised and eyes appear closed. The tail is nice and bushy with a black tip. The coat is reddish around ears, scruff, snout and along legs.

The Triangulum Galaxy (M 33). This is a 9 hour 18 minute total capture from seven sessions over this month. I don't know what compelled me to start this when it was still very low in the sky and it was still extremely humid, but it still worked. #astrophotography #dwarf3 #pixinsight #space
A spiral galaxy with bright silver/white arms flecked with purple, pink, red, and light yellow highlights. It is in the middle of a dark sky surrounded by stars with varying brightness. Processed in PixInsight with adjustments using the lighthouse suite.

Two hours of stars over Mount Rainier, compressed into one minute. 🌌 I photographed this from the White River area as the Milky Way moved across Little Tahoma Peak toward Mount Rainier. Airplanes, satellites, and even a searchlight crossed the frame.

Lots of birds have great camouflage. The Sunbittern looks like the boulders they traverse. You have to watch the river until you spot a boulder that is moving. And if you get lucky they will show you what they are hiding under their wings. #birdsseenin2026 #CostaRica #hummingbirds #nikon #z8
A Sunbittern steps out to stand balanced on a gray rock in the middle of a shallow, flowing stream. The bird is captured from the side, showcasing its slender neck, long legs, and intricate brown, gray, and black patterned plumage that blends into the natural environment. Closer view of the Sunbittern as it walks across rocks to cross the river. The birds overall body is round gray with black and white markings to match the rocks of its environment. It has a long slender neck that is rust in color. Its head is gray with two white stripes that are above and below the eye. Its beak is long and black on top and orange below. An adult sunbittern viewed from behind spreads its wings wide to reveal a dramatic, symmetrical pattern resembling giant eyes. The upper plumage of the back and wings features intricate, horizontal barred stripes of black, gray, and brown. When fully extended, each wing displays a large, vivid eyespot with a dark central circle rimmed in crisp white, surrounded by a broad band of rich chestnut-orange and bright yellow. The sunbittern's small head is looking straight ahead., and its long, slender tail is closed and mirrors the black and gray banding of the wings.

“At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care.” H/t @ameshaa.bsky.social

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Tonight I went to get some crow in front of moon footage, which I've gotten 2 decent videos of in my over a year attempting. Instead of Moon-in-focus I focused on the tree they normally come by - that didn't work, but I did get 49 frames of this small group of some other bird, and stacked them. 🪶
a dozen or so birds flying around the moon, but their movements tracked over 49 stills, merged into one

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

A moondog hangs like a gem on the left side of the frame. Stretching out and across over halfway to the right side is the arc of a parhelic circle. There are clouds partially obscuring the view in places. Stars shine through in the upper right quadrant of this photo. A house with lights is visible right of center frame on the horizon.
