Got some snow up in South Park. Love how it can snow one day and just be super sunny the next.

If you see this, post something orange. One of the many beautiful sunsets up here. The shape of the clouds really caught my eye this night. #mountains #colorado #sunset

Caio is an awesome person, need something made check them out.

Hello! I'm Joel πŸ‘‹. I'm excited to actually get to do a #portfolioday! I'm a disabled/retired Virologist. In my free time when I'm not resting, I for fun do molecular art (viral models), nature ( #birds & wildlife around my house), astrophotography (also from home) Happy to meet more art friends ❀️

Some mornings the clouds & snow blowing around diffuse the Sun's light in a way that always makes me think of the Eye of Sauron. So I call these mornings, "Sauron Mornings" "His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh. You know of what I speak, Gandalf: a great Eye, lidless, wreathed in flame"

Fun fact before taking these: He looks very alert in those shots, but in reality it took a while for him to wake up and for most the morning he was actually a very sleepy boy. #bobcat #nature #photography #wildlife

New Year. New Friends. Been slowly making friends with this handsome gentlemen. He seems to enjoy the pack rats & bunnies here. He comes right up to the porch & looks in. I'm going to keep him. His murder mittens are so fluffy ISO:25600 f:1/16 Shutter:1/1000 #bobcat #nature #wildlife #photography

Beautiful Sunset tonight #timelapse #mountain #sunset

Happy Winter Solstice from South Park πŸŒ¨οΈβ„οΈπŸ‘‹ Time to start building up energy for the new year!

Oh God @deggn.bsky.social

A favorite of mine, the Peregrine Falcon. Fast and beautiful bird. Taken near Bailey, Co #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

Face off Was one of the first photos I tried to take when experimenting with my new camera in the spring. Got lucky & captured a good action shot of two Rufous hummingbirds doing their little vertical challenge column fight #hummingbirds #birds #nature #photography f/9 1/4000 iso 6400 24-240@94mm

POV: Telling your husband @joel-rocketco.bsky.social it was a rough day at work. Me: It was one of those days dealing with people. Him: Was it a no spine day? Me: ... Him: You know like the dog. Me: ... Me: Do you mean a "no bones day"? Him: Yah, same thing Me: I guess a spine is made of bones...

Finished the timelapse of yesterday. Beautiful sunrise and some neat cloud movement. Too long to embed so it's up on youtube in all it's 4k glory. Pi Cam2 shot every 15 seconds, going to do today's at 10 seconds to see if it smooths it out some. #timelapse #mountain www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozw5...

Been experimenting with some timelapse videos. It's such a beautiful view up here I wanted to share. This is the first capture I liked. I got a pi and camera set to take a picture every 15 seconds. Working on a full day but wanted to give you guys a preview. #mountains #sunrise #timelapse #nature

Defying Gravity - Squirrels "playing" in a fallen tree. Figured it best to post the G rated picture. #wildlife #photography #squirrel

Missy's daughter was just as patient with people (me) as her mom. She had no patience for the boys always fighting & would break them up herself so she could drink peacefully. I can't wait for them to come back (home). f/10 1/4000 shutter iso @ 6400 #birds #hummingbird #photography

Daytime naps are the best. Though they don't look too pleased with my camera clicking away while they are trying to sleep. #wildlife #photography #eepy #bunny #mountaincottontail

One of our babies that came to hang out for the summer. Miss you guys! #FeatheredFriday #hummingbird #wildlife #photography

Had a beautiful cloudy sunset up here the other night. #Sunset

Little intro: I’m Joel, an early retired (disabled) Virologist (MSc) & teacher. I write on disability advocacy & a lot about vaccine misinformation. When I'm not resting to heal or trying to stay up on current research (lol so much it'll never happen), I do molecular art, nature, & astrophotography.

The neighborhood bald eagle that likes to sit atop the electrical poles. They keep a keen eye out for any prey in the area. #photography #birb #bird #baldeagle #wildlife

Another one of my favorites. Was getting a close-up of these purple asters and didn't even notice the guests they had on them. I think they made it turn out out even better! #photography #flora #purpleaster #wildlife

I'm going to start using this setting until it becomes an ingrained habit because I am trying to be better about always putting alt text to help people with screen readers. We want everyone to enjoy this site β™₯️

First post here coming from the bad place. I'll be sharing my pictures from my Canon R100 I got this year to learn photography. @joel-rocketco.bsky.social has been teaching me. Going to start with my favorite picture of a Stellar's Jay. They don't stay still long. #photography #wildlife #bird #birb
