I've not been posting here much, been too busy road tripping around Oz. Tomorrow I'll be visiting a full size replica of Stone Henge in Esperance, Western Australia. :)

Follow me on my camping road trip around Australia in my 2022 BYD Atto3. If I complete the journey I'm pretty sure I'll be the first person to have driven a fully electric BYD vehicle around Australia. #EV #BYD #ElectricCar #Atto3 www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

I thought it was The Onion at first. The USA is going to find itself in all sorts of strife if, in 180 days, they follow through with this nonsense. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

An oldie but a goodies. The spectacular Eta Carina Nebula. #astronomy #astrophotography

Comet Atlas. Feb 7th The Moon has washed out the sky making the comet very difficult to image. This is 17x10sec images, stacked then inverted to make it more visible. Canon 700D @ ISO 1600 Canon Nifty 50 @ F3.5 #comet #astronomy #astrophotography

3 Starlink Satellites 2 Sporadic meteors and 1 comet almost too faint to see. #comet #astronomy #astrophotography

A very short timelapse of Comet ATLAS. Captured last night, 29th Jan 2025. Shot through a sucker hole. Check out all those blasted satellites. :( #comet #astronomy #astrophotography

Photos taken 2 hours apart. Putricia is opening! The chatters in the YT live stream are beyond excited. #Putricia #WWTF

It seems that Putricia is opening tonight! There's been noticeable movement with the petals over the past 3 hours. The chat is a hoot too. Not at all cult like. LOL. If you have the next 5 or so hours to spare, why not check in and join the cult, I mean crowd. #WWTF www.youtube.com/watch?v=mryl...

Comet C/2024 G3 ATLAS Imaged 20/1/2024 from Queensland Australia Sadly during the past 24 hours it's nucleus seems to have disintegrated making it appear much fainter. Still visible to the naked eye though. Canon 700D, Canon 50mm, F2.8, ISO800, 13 seconds. #comet #astronomy #astrophotography

Comet 2024 G3 ATLAS It's a shame I couldn't get all of it's magnificent tail, but beggars can't be choosers, I'm grateful to see this much . Fingers crossed for clear skies tomorrow evening. It was very bright to the naked eye too. No need to search for it. #comet #astronomy #astrophotography

My morning so far. The rest of the day will be spent laying on the couch playing Moraff's Dungeons of the Unforgiven on the big screen.

Negative Moonage. It's different, it's unusual, I like it. :) #Moon #astronomy #KathandKim

No need to chase this storm, it came to me. Photos taken from my front yard of a quite spectacular light show over the town of Monto, QLD, Australia. #storm #lightning #stormchasing #weather

Look at my rock! A stunning specimen of Cassiterite (tin ore) in matrix. The matrix itself is studded with small quartz crystals. I dug this one up myself at Elsmore, NSW, Australia. #rocks #fossicking #minerals #cassiterite youtu.be/RKkZTYM0Ilo?...

It was always a childhood dream to walk up to my own apple tree to pick and eat my own yummy crisp apple. :) The early fruit on this Coastal Cropper are only good for cooking but the ones pollinated late are great for eating. Best of both worlds. #gardening #homegrown

Oh my! Surprisingly smutty classical music. youtu.be/wxZmTESrLrY?...

Scott and Jenny Morrison suck up to a rapist, convicted felon and successful conman. This is every single LNP member's wet dream and should have come as a surprise to absolutely no-one. #auspol

I gotta give it to the USGS. This is a really good timelapse of the beginning of the eruption at Kilauea today.

Hot off the hook. A double sided cushion made in cotton using mosaic crochet. I just need to find my fringe maker to finish it off. #crochet

Finally we know the origins of this interjection. :)

The very first fruit from my young Custard Apple tree has finally ripened. It tasted so good. She has 3 new fruit this season. They'll be ready by Autumn. #gardening
