Another seasonally appropriate moment

It was dark and I was very surprised any of the pictures came out at all.

 

Spiders getting ready for the 31st!

I love that these spiders are more visible this time of year, though I think these are Shamrock Orbweavers so maybe they have their season mixed up?

 

Owl or Tree Troll?!

 

Angry Halloween Stares!

No one wanted their pictures taken today.

The owl gave me a full on exorcist head spin stare on my Halloween owl walk!

Our Halloween themed cat was not excited to have his picture taken either.

Happy Halloween!

 

Halloween Cat's Halloween Cat Toy

Inky enjoying the rubber cockroach that came with the candies wort sent to the team. Apparently I missed him bringing it to me while I was in VR playing Beat Saber. Thanks Mister Inky.

Spooky Spot

Sun is wishing everyone a happy Halloween -:]

Sun spot AR2192 is about to go away but is looking a bit like a skull right? Trying eye-piece projection with my little 81mm refactor scope. Worked out okay. Hope to try again in a few weeks when it comes back around or if there are any new semi big or interesting sunspots now that I have my solar filters.

P.S. Here are some maybe halloweeny sounds to listen to while viewing the astrophotography https://soundcloud.com/t1t4/sets/astrophoto-sound-track

Brains!

This is what happens after late nights of astrophotography, early morings surfing and long days making animated films. I was turned into a Surf Zombie!


Kitties are wary of the Surf Zombie!


Inky makes for a super good Halloween Kitty while hiding from the Surf Zombie!


But his brains are irresistible and I must feed!


Surf Zombies Poo Too! Especially after a large helping of Kitty Brains! EErrr, EEERRRrrrr, Ahhhh...

Last of the Abominable Snow Unicorns

Once thought only to exist at the end of the rare double Himalayan rainbow now captured on camera for the first time ever in Redwood "Climate Best by Government Test" City, CA USA.

Pumpkin Stuff

We haven't carved pumpkins in a long time, maybe 6+ years. We went a little pumpkin crazy this year.


In addition to carving pumpkins we did some fun pumpkin cooking. Don't they look good?


Taking the top off to reveal the delicious pumpkin innards.


Yum!


Linda digging in to her pumpkin. We made WAY to much. One small pumpkin would have been enough for both of us. We have leftovers for days.


Here are all of our pumpkins, 3 carved, two to be eaten and one yet to be carved.


Here is the super cute one Linda carved while we waited for our pumpkins to cook. Who likes cats?


Pistol decided she didn't want to be a ghost or skelliton. She wanted to be the headless cat -:]


Inky just sticking with the black cat look.

Happy Halloween!

Inky was made for Halloween! Spooky!

Pistol is just plain old cute snuggling the pumpkin. We are trying to decide if she is a ghost or a skeleton for Halloween.
