What Do You Do Aside From Astronomy?

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh

Wow - so many of you listed bicycling - cool!

Other than gardening, my biggest hobby would be cycling too. I'm currently training for my first solo century (did one a few years ago on tandem). Here's the golden altar upon which I daily give sacrifice. It's a 2005 Terry Classic. My other bikes are gems from 70's - a Schwinn LeTour and a Motobecane.

Clear skies and happy miles!

Hey Jeff!
Great shot - very cute! In fact, they are lucky they're so cute. They can be quite destructive for such a little squeeker. Little buggers are tunneling everywhere around our house!

I have never been able to get very close to these guys, and this time was no exception. :S

That's still a nice shot, Robert. I like how the little bits of yellow on the leaf buds look almost like they are reflecting the yellow of the bird, plus the nice contrast against the blue sky. Neat!

Magnolia in bloom.

Very nice, Kent. I enjoy the ones in my neighbors' yards, but when the petals start to fall, I am very glad they are not in mine. Did you tweak the colors in the sky? It's amazingly blue!

It's a "skyscape" and that's fine with me!

Awesome planes, exceptional pilots, and nice shots, everyone! Thanks for posting!

Lovely shot, Mark, very serene. Those are some of the most beautiful hours of the day, aren't they?

Squirrel Family

Mom kept coming back to coax them along, but all they wanted was to nurse.
