My second #astrophotography target of the season… The Pac-Man #nebula. About 16 hours of total exposure time over 3 nights from my driveway. #astronomy

One of the views along the trail this week… Up at about 9,500’ … A few hours away from all the madness of this world.

Just finished making a cherry table top for this little elk antler table my dad gave me years ago. The little “rivets” I put in around the edge are actually the heads of these old nails I found at the remains of a cabin up in the mountains… They would date back from the 1800s sometime…

A rare selfie on yesterday’s hike… I don’t know when my beard got that gray, but at least it was keeping my cheeks warm 😉

Hiking by an old #mine entrance yesterday… It’s locked/gated off inside so you couldn’t go very far even if you wanted to…. #abandoned #photography

Finished up another little cutting board the other day… A kind of ornery-looking little maple #owl inlay into some cherry and walnut 🦉
