I am several minutes late. Happy #StunDay! Here is a picture from #Sequoia National Forest. I look forward to going back and spending weeks. One of the many rapids and waterfalls that I saw. More #Waterfall pictures are ScottWGonzalez.com

I hope everyone Women in STEM had a day free of men trying to take credit for their work or ideas. Ideally that should be the standard sadly it is not.

I saw somewhere that the #BirdoftheDay post was supposed to be #blue. Here is the first and only time I photographed a Mountain Blue Bird. bsky.app/profile/scot...

Running late on #StunDay which just happened to be #Superb_Owl day. Here is one of the Great Horned Owletts that I came across in Sunset Park in #LasVegas Looks like it caught and scored a #touchdown to me. Marked sensitive for the catch. More Superb Owl #photos at ScottWGonzalez.com

Exactly 20 years ago right now I was on a first date with Jennifer. It changed my life for the better.

It has been a while since I have been sick on my birthday. The flu kicked my ass for the last 2 days, I am currently on the mend. I got useful gifts (a theater projector and new comfy slippers) and one thoughtful one (pictured).

🗣️🗣️🗣️ SUPPORT SMALL BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES TODAY, TOMORROW AND EVERYDAY IN THE FUTURE. Your support makes an immense difference!!

The buns and bread we have in the house are stale so this was my #dinner. I didn't realize until after I started cooking the #hamburger patty. It looks like a keto diet* to me. *Never been on a keto diet so I could be wrong.

"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now." cmarmitage.substack.com/p/my-first-7...

Happy #StunDay! Here is a #photo that will be in an #exhibition called #LoveLettersToVegas this Saturday. I will post a link for the event in the comments. If you are or plan on being in #Vegas next weekend RSVP. "Khonsu in Vegas" More photos @ ScottWGonzalez.com #EastCoastKin #Artist #photography

Had a late night shower thought. I'm more likely to be killed by a cop than I am a shark, a wolf, a crocodile is comparable worldwide vs US cop. One of the only things that kills more than cops is the Christian God. Between 14 and 100 mil people in the flood. Should I be scared of God?

ICE has absolute immunity according to JD Vance. Does that mean if an ICE agent went after Melania and her husband for harboring her, killing them both would that act be protected?

Happy #StunDay! Here is the Red Tailed Hawk that greeted me on my way home from #birding at a local park. I could see it from my front door which was a first. If you want to see more bird #photography visit ScottWGonzalez.com and if you want a print DM me. #EastCoastKin

We did the last #Christmas get together last night. Gemma decided to put this gift tag from my Mom to my Wife on my back. It is definitely fitting. Is it just me or does my back look huge?

We are gathering peacefully in Winnemucca to call on Congress to do its job. The Constitution gives Congress, not the President, the power to authorize war and foreign military action. This is about accountability, the rule of law, and standing up for democracy. Peaceful. Lawful. Constitutional.

Well according to @merriam-webster.com picturesque is my word. Of all the words I saw people have screen shots of I feel this one fits me pretty well.

Dialogue around a white lady saying she told her kids if they get lost to “find a Black woman because she will help/protect you” I got some thoughts on why that’s a bad idea..

There were some great things that happened this year; An airboat ride in the Everglades Hang Gliding Camping in Sequoia NF Seeing 31 lifers Here my fav pictures of these events. More pictures of my adventures are at ScottWGonzalez.com. Happy New Year everyone. I hope it is a pleasant adventure!

It is still there. My friends if you mask up regularly it might be worth looking into.

So I almost never shop at Walmart. Literally 2 times in 10+ years. I saw something that said they had inexpensive n95 masks. 240 3m 1870+ masks for $9.99. Not sure if it is a mess up or what. #nurses #healthcare #medicine #doctors #immunosuppressed

Here is another possible shot. My Luxor Moon is a definite, so I just need one more. Again, I am mixing nature and the city, no bird this time and many more lights. Taken from the Las Vegas Wash which gets a crazy amount of vegetation/critters big and small. #photography #EastCoastKin #Art #LasVegas

First time hearing about them. Anything that is not amazon or another company that is owned by a billionaire is a better choice.

Happy #Stunday! I am going to be in an exhibit next month about #Vegas. I don't often take pics of cities. I have a few they want portrait though, so I am even more limited. So this is a potential image. I enjoy nature vs city. Does it look like a Love Letter to LV? #EastCoastKin #Photography #ART

All of the bird art I made is in this blog post, but also I'm going to share them all separately on here over the next few days (because who goes on someone's personal blog). I made birds that I shared with each of my family members this year-- a fiery American Redstart for my sister:

#Merry #Christmas to all that celebrate. It was exhausting. Had a fun thing and if you have a chance get edible eyeballs for your future cookie making. For those that celebrate other #holidays I wish you the best on this commercialized holiday night.

Bringing back traditions from childhood. Sugar cookies for #Christmas. We found an old #shark cookie cutter and a kid decided to make a hat for it and now we have Santa Shark. @bruceshark.bsky.social you are a cookie.

I have seen multiple ads for the FRIENDS experience in Vegas. Is it weird that all of the ads have more diversity than the show did?

Two reviews (so far!) of my homemade ice cream recipes! The first is for Pistachio and the second for Rocky Road and Lemon Bar! With the internet full of free recipes, I hope you give mine a chance. They really are so good! 😊 payhip.com/SweetLosIceC... #icecream #food #foodie #foodreview #yum

Has anyone had luck with digital scales? I stepped on Jen's scale and it read 223.2lbs which I thought was too much. So I stepped on again 217.4. Which is correct? I stepped on and off it a few more times and the readings were from 217.0 to 218.2 This isn't the first digital scale to do this to me

I never watched all of the X Files. I am currently on season 8 episode 9 called Salvage with Robert Patrick who played a metal humanoid or man in T2. He is currently commenting in the episode about a metal man only being in movies. I can only imagine they are intentional references.

A new idea to show how a billion is a crazy amount of money and makes it more personal. Take the largest check you ever got. For example mine was $12,868 (1 yr of backpay) x 365 = $4,696,820/yr. Then $1,000,000,000 ÷ $4,696,820/yr = 212 years. Check x 365 = $y $1 billion ÷ $y = yrs to make a billion

The #Geminids put on a great show this year. I believe I only caught 3 in frame out of the 567 pictures I took. I have to go through again and make sure. #Gemini can be seen and the #star Procyon in #Canis Minor is obvious in the sky. They will be posted at ScottWGonzalez.com soon. DM for prints.

Happy #StunDay to all. I was graced with this Mountain Blue Bird flying across the highway, it was so stunning I stopped to #photograph this #lifer that I have wanted to see since learning about them. #EastCoastKin #Birds #Birding #highway #sony

It was an interesting 24 hours. After having an early family Christmas in Cali I went to Big Bear to watch the #Persieds (so many #meteors) then on the drive home a Mountain Bluebird flew across the road and perched in a #Mojave Yucca. I have so many #pictures to process. #birds #photographer #lifer

Friendly reminder that the #Geminid #meteor #shower is this Saturday night to Sunday morning. This is not a Geminid it is a Persied. I wrote about how I take pictures of them a while back. Oddly enough the dates coincide with this year. www.scottwgonzalez.com/lightwriting...

In case you need more birds in your life next year (and who doesn't?), I have a 2026 bird calendar! www.zazzle.com/collections/... #BSNM #birds #giftideas

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Happy #StunDay Here is one of the many #rainbows that I saw weeks ago when we had rain. Taken when I was leaving Red Rock Canyon. If anyone wants a #photography #print I sell and ship them to anywhere in the continental US $65 for a 13x19 inch. More at ScottWGonzalez.com DM for orders #EastCoastKin

I haven't been #birding in a bit. Not sure why it wasn't calling to me. I went yesterday in Henderson and was greeted by plenty of expected birds. However a Northern Harrier surprised me then while driving home a Red Tailed Hawk was perched on a street light in front of my house. #birds #gifts

Join us tomorrow from 2-3pm ET for a special fireside chat on the art of storytelling within space sciences! This is a free event featuring a chat and Q&A with Joy Jones and Tim Fielder. As always, the link to register can be found on our website, we hope to see you there 🌟

It's up!!!! I have my first few pieces officially up for sell. I will be adding more as the holiday season progresses. Each piece has a Canvas Print and a Fine Arts Poster counterpart for a more affordable option. Thank you guys so much!!! Shop WarmthOnCanvas here: www.etsy.com/shop/WarmthO...

It is #SmallBusinessSaturday, if you are looking for photography prints, DMs are open. Still working on tax stuff to open my print store. Plenty of pictures at ScottWGonzalez.com which I print and send out myself. The 2024 #eclipse seen through clouds in #Texas. This is the engagement ring effect.

Something random I'm rather proud of: After finally putting together enough to obtain a telephoto lens, I've managed to find an eastern screech owl, and entire nest of ospreys, and a nesting pair of bald eagles in the span of the year! A great-horned owl still eludes me, but maybe next year

Aren't he fuckers that are in charge of doing this the same ilk that were fine with the shutdown that netted a loss of $41 million for National Park entrance fees?

I don't think we're going to have a successful Amazon boycott till we break their monopoly on indie books. They have a clever strategy to build their monopoly, which any functional government would have banned: if you want your indie book listed in Kindle Unlimited, you have to be exclusive. 🧵
