Thanks! It wasn't as bad at it appeared, thankfully. At least not here

I've always wanted to recreate the leap effect from the 80s US TV show, "Quantum Leap", one of my favorite shows as I was growing up.

So here I am, leaping back into myself at Christmas in 1993.

Thanks, P! 🙂

No worries! It was a fun update to add Bella Grace and Stormy.

She is! She finally has stopped testing the ornaments 😂

A rare November thunderstorm brings dramatic skies (and lightning) with it as the sun sets this evening.

Four years ago, I made a Marvel-style intro for my @nchurricats.bsky.social account.

Since then, we lost Bella & have adopted two more kitties, Stormy and Bella Grace.

So naturally, I had to update it!

(Can you tell I'm between gigs? 🤣)

Photo of Turnage Theater in Washington, North Carolina, USA at night with the marquee and sign lit up against the darkened building surronding it. #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBluesky #photography #northcarolina #blueskyartshow #bright

The historic Turnage Theater in Washington, North Carolina, USA. It was built in 1913.

My first attempt at a street photography shot. 🤞

Photo of the night sky in eastern North Carolina, USA lit up by a red aurora. This is very rare for our area. #astrophotography #aurora #auroraborealis #photography #eastcoastkin

Captured near Winterville, NC, USA (eastern part of the state) around 10:18 pm ET.

What makes me sad is that I have Deuteranomaly so I can't see the faint glow or red with the naked eye or even in the RAW photos. I have to get my wife to pick out which pictures were the best for me to run through Lightroom. 😔

Tonight's #aurora definitely beats the one in May 2024 for my area in NC, USA. If the forecast comes to fruition, tomorrow's will be even better.

Incredible.

Our late mackerel tabby female, Tabby, in 2020, sitting outside with a thunderstorm on the horizon behind her. #WorldPhotographyDay #EastCoastKin #photography #catphotography #cat

One of my favorite photos of our late senior Tabby in 2020, about three weeks before she passed away after 19 years.

When her time was near, we let her journey outside to experience the outside world. She loved it.

This day, she was joined by a thunderstorm.

A soaking wet barn swallow shows its bright rusty/ orange tummy as it explodes out of the water in a shower of water drops. They bath by flying into the water , submerging and then popping out and continuing on their flight!

A lot of small birds take a bit of time splashing in shallow water when they bath.
Not swallows.
This barn swallow flew directly into the marsh at Mach 5, completely submerged for a second, and then exploded out in a shower of water drops to continue on its way!

It's even looking at the camera... "Did you get that?" 😊 What an awesome shot!
