A bighorn sheep — a younger ram from a mini-herd that dropped by to eat the yard when I was staying in New Mexico a month ago — walking behind a cholla cactus in the middle of a spring snowstorm. #NaturePhotography #NewMexico #Photography #Snow #Sheep #Wild

pocketpixels,

@stshank That is a wild image! Such a strange, almost unsettling blend of cactus and sheep!

    @jaztrophysicist the small arc of sunlight in the bottom left is perfect.

    The 11yo had a Calvin and Hobbes book out, and I made the mistake of reading the one she dog-eared.

    Yes yes, it's another ordinary day in San Francisco. Whatever.
    Christ, I have a massive hangover. I'm going back to bed.

    pocketpixels,

    @BobHorowitz Around 2014? I had jury duty on Feb 14. I figured they'd cancel it, but nope. So I wore heart socks, a heart tie, and pinned floppy felt Valentines to my overcoat as I showed up at SF Superior Court. I figured they'd take one look at my outfit and dismiss me.

    I forgot what city I lived in. I was one of the more conservatively dressed people in the courthouse.

    Managed to get the light about right for this one, Prob my fave photo from today (not for the bird, though I love Bluetits) but because I managed to capture it without the direct sunlight of my other shots today.

    pocketpixels,

    @JimsPhotos that lighting is pretty special. Nice photo.

    Another photo of El Faro de la Punta del Hidalgo, a modern in , Spain. I took several shots of this severe yet serene white tower during my holiday there.

    This lighthouse on (Spain) is like something out of a sci-fi LEGO movie. El Faro de la Punta del Hidalgo seems almost a rebuttal to all other lighthouses in terms of how stark it appears.

    Photographed in December 2023 with a K-S2 camera, smc DA 21mm Limited lens, ƒ/16, .8sec @ISO 100.
