Amazing concert with Hunter Noack, and Maude (a 1912 Steinway Grand Piano) at Silver Falls State Park. The audience has headphones and you wander... #hunternoack #inalandscape

Milky Way last night. Red lights are the Astronomers' loos. There is a person lying and looking at the stars in one of them! Stub Stewart State Park, Oregon #milkyway #pdx #stubstewart

Last night, at about 12:20, some coyotes came by! #coyote #portland

I worry for the cats that we also see on this camera.

Amazing how some light came from so far while other light was so near

Camera: Sony Alpha a6700
Lens: Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 CS
Stacking: 20 images of 20 seconds each

Someone knocked the camera down but the angle is quite beautiful, and I think we have a prime suspect #babyraccoon #raccoon #nestcam #portlandoregon

This is a bucked of invasive Spanish bluebell bulbs we found when digging that hole. They have been composted. #invasive #spanishbluebells

No, that's not a body under the tarp, it's earth! We dug out the rocks next to this drain, will replace without the earth and wrapped in cloth to prevent silting again. We had some drainage issues last winter... the pipes were a surprise #shallowgrave #timeteam #hole #drainage #drain #dig

Strange fungus at Tryon Creek - probably a Red-Belted Conk undergoing "guttation" the droplets are excess moisture and metabolic byproducts the fungus exudes. They grow on dead conifers. #redbeltedconk #fungus

Milky Way over Sunriver. Finally got my first attempt at a Milky Way shot (single shot, 25s exposure, 12mm Rokinon Lens, Sony Alpha a6700). I learned a lot for next time!

The Milky Way looks a bit purple thru some trees with a roof of a building in the bottom left corner.
