Got a shot of the Pleiades tonight. Luthien and I were hoping to see an aurora. I'd seen a few reports they were visible last night on the Dunedin Causeway, so we went there hoping for a repeat performance. It may still happen. But I've got work in the morning. #nightsky #pleiades #stars

This book arrived today. The second edition of the Poetic Edda by Dr Jackson Crawford. I've been a fan of his YouTube channel for awhile and I'm excited to delve into this book. #poeticeddas #jacksoncrawford #books

Finished painting and assembling this diorama of the first meeting of Beren & Luthien. The trees are from twigs from my own Luthien and I's home, the sand is from where we got engaged.

"Gandalf was shorter in stature than the other two; but his long white hair, his sweeping silver beard, and his broad shoulders, made him look like some wise king of ancient legend."

Got to paint something from Reaper Miniatures that I'd been sitting on for awhile. Decided on a grey cloak, green tunic. The sheathes & quiver are blues because I'm partial to the way blue and green goes together.

My wife and I went out to Clearwater Beach today to watch the sunset. A seagull bit my hand trying to dive and snatch my sandwich, but I got a great photo. #sunset #clearwater #beach #sunsetphotography #naturephotography

Today is a milestone in a journey that started in 2020. I completed the Battle of Pelennor Fields in Lord of the Rings Online.
This cements the game's place as the best adaptation of the book to date, surpassing even Jackson's films for me. #lotro #lotr #pelennorfields

My wife and I visited the park we got engaged at tonight. Had a nice picnic beneath a sprawling oak tree, then went on a photo walk. Captured this shot of a Great Horned Owl. He and his mate were scrounging up dinner. #owl #greathornedowl #birdphotography
