Happy Earth Day! We have reposted our short film celebrating last years Earth Day. With this administration destroying the environmental laws which have taken decades to help clean the environment it is imperative we stand together and fight back for the health of this planet! Not just for us but for the 10 generations which will come after us. Join an organization fighting this administration's policy's on the environment. The Great Lakes in particular and clean water are specific targets of their defunding. We all know Water is Life! See more at www.thesweetwaterseas.com

This week is National Park Week and with the cuts this administration has done we are in a place where many may be closed and let go on maintenance. Need a bathroom? Good luck. SO to celebrate these National Parks here are a few I've been to over the years. And some we've been to for the filming of The Sweetwater Seas documentary. Enjoy.

Finally got a shot of the comet Tsunchinshon ATLAS last night. Never could see in with my eyes. I had to make several exposures across the sky to find it.

After missing the unbelievable show of the Northern Lights Monday night I was still watching all the indicators to see if they might be visible last night. I debated to go down at midnight to see if they were out but knew I would regret it if I didn't and they had come out. These are the best northern lights I've been able to photograph...so far! They were not really visible to the naked eye but the camera captured them. Enjoy!

Went down to the lake once again to try and see the C2023 C3 comet, but alas, once again we never saw it before twilight overwhelmed it somewhere in the sky. But we did get these two images and a lot more which I'll post in the next few days. Enjoy.
