Thank you! It's just starting to ramp up here now. Hope your sister and her family stay safe!

Here's a video of what I saw this evening in NY. Sorry the quality isn't great. I was zoomed in with my cell phone. Any thoughts? Rocket launch? #photography #space #nightsky #astronomy

Photo of an unknown object in the sky over NY tonight.

Ok. Wtf is this? I saw this just after 6 pm heading north in the lower hudson valley, NY. Does anyone know if there were any rocket launches over the area? It doesn't look like starlink. #photography #space #nightsky #astronomy

Dude, my black and white cat friend sitting in my seat by a fire.

Ok, now Dude stole my drink too. If he steals my pot I'll have a talk with him. 😁 Happy #Caturday #catsofbsky

Another night with Dude by a fire. I wish he'd stop stealing my seat. Happy #Caturday #catsofbsky #cats #mybestfriendforlife #photography

It looks like an infection. Possibly bumblefoot that has spread to the leg.

Dude, a black and white cat and best friend, enjoying sitting by the fire.

Dude is an old man with a lot of ailments. Recently diagnosed with heart disease. I hope he defies the odds but it's probably his last summer. We've been making the most of our time left together. All life is precious. #Caturday #catsofbsky #internationalcatday #photography #bestfriendsforever

Dude just loves hanging out with me by a fire. Thankfully he's also unfazed by fireworks. Happy #caturday #catsofbluesky

View of a high desert region while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.

Last week I managed to get in a quick two mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. I don't like heat, but love hiking the high desert regions. If I had known I'd have the chance, I would have been prepared and put in more miles. #photography #Pacificcresttrail #PCT

Wild black raspberries draining in a colander.

Today's harvest of wild black raspberries. Only a third are ripe so far and I left over a third for the birds. Still I managed to pick over a pint. #wildrasperries #foraging

I just find it ironic that the secretary of homeland security was robbed.

Dude, my tuxedo buddy. Standing guard and wondering why that white s#!t is back.

Check with your local vet or animal hospital. I've seen advertisements for financial assistance for pet owners who can't afford pet care.

Photo of my best friend, Dude. He's a blank and white sweetheart wearing a red plaid bandana on his neck.

I missed caturday. This is Dude. He is the best friend a person could have. He absolutely lives up to his name. I Hope to hang out with him by the fire again soon. #catsofbluesky #photography

Thank you! Hope all is well with you!

How's it going? No break for me. Today will be 20 days straight of work. A snow/ice storm is starting here in an hour or two. Another on the way Thursday. At least I'll have Monday off.. maybe
