The endeavor to capture the milky way is complicated and challenging.
Staying up later than usual is one of the challenges (not real late, 9:30-10:30).
Finding the milky way is another issue. Light is a “pollution” for this goal. There are some places where you can readily see the milky way. Where I live is not one of them.
Scope brings its own problems. Even at 24mm, it takes a minimum fifteen exposures to stitch and fiddle with. LOTS of fiddling.
Still, I love the challenge.

Some of it fit
Then maybe it didn’t
The scrub jay wasn’t bothered
Or concerned

Protected age
Safety behind bars
Still gets eaten

It has become apparent that my gardening skills are lacking. Lucky for me, tomatoes will grow in even some of the worst conditions. Last season, squirrels, birds, rodents, woodlice and a variety of fungi ruined our efforts. So, I caged in the raised beds to keep out the larger offenders.

The fruit near the edges did not fare so well. (Imagine a little rat poking his nose in there for a treat)

Thank you WordPress for fixing the unbroken yet again. For changing it up and wasting my time. If an app/software feels the need to stay relevant by “fixing” all that is broken about it, you have revealed your insecurity of value in the product you have produced.
Providing AI options reveals where this is all headed. Fake. Moving stuff around to validate your job is stupid. Get it right and just stop already.
Here are some time-tested words that work: courteous, thoughtful, sensitive. Next time, every time, changes should be optional.
Sorry ’bout the rant.

One key light
Casts shadow and tone
Adjusted for taste

The joy of simply hunting for emotive light never wanes.

Walking morphs into discovery
