Was able to spot Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) tonight. It was a faint smudge to the naked eye at my location but it was easy spotting with binoculars (or with a zoom lens). #comet

Three weeks of foliage views during my shift changes at work (MWO).

Fire and ice - #sunrise on fresh rime ice this morning. #nhwx #nh #mountains #rimeice

Comparing 1 Oct (top) to 8 Oct (bottom) 2025. Looks like we are moving into the passing/past phase of foliage in Pinkham Notch. Still pockets of color to enjoy in Coos County but certainly dropping off. #nhwx #nh #mountains #fallcolors #autumn #foliage

Some snow on the summits and fall foliage in the lower elevations around Deadman Mountain, UT today. #UTwx #utah #snowliage #snow #foliage #fall

While it was raining at #sunrise, it wasn't enough to produce a rainbow over work (MWO). Luckily though, there was still plenty of color to enjoy along the horizon. #nhwx #nh #mountains

I missed the Jupiter-Venus conjunction yesterday morning. But they were still plenty close this morning to appreciate in the predawn sky.

A fun surprise from today - seeing one of my pics from work being used as the wall paper in a waiting room. Neat 😎

Wildfire smoke at work (MWO) limiting vis to 1 mile most of last night into this morning 🫩😷🥴

And to think, this is the best that today's air quality is going to be for us 😬
