#TuesdayBlue #TueBlue #FlowerReport: In Gilroy, California, this morning.

Two #Photos, one #Foggy morning. Alt text would have been: Two photos,almost monochrome. One of the sun shining through fog, directly over a bare round treetop, with the top of a less distinct tree to the left, and a more distinct tree to the right. And one a small sun in fog, among leafy trees.

#MacroMonday #FlowerReport: In San Jose, California is an agapanthus plant that I pass by about once a week. On November 19th, the plant put out a lone cluster of buds. Over the course of more than a month, seen in basically weekly photos (clockwise), they waited. Until today, when two opened.

Good night, #FlowerReport. Thanks again for encouraging exploration, and sharing the beauty you find. Dream well.

#FlowerReport: Just saw this again from December 21st of this year, found in Gilroy, California, during a misty morning.

Hello BlueSky! This is the Christmas Tree Cluster. I color-mapped the heart of the nebula to tree-green to bring out the effect. Would you like this as a wallpaper? I'm happy to share for free: photos.app.goo.gl/e9LNThCC97NZ... Image credit: my tiny telescope. #science #astronomy 🔭👩🏾‍🔬
