Cool shot! The stars must have been on a slow internet connection that night. Looks like they had to keep stopping to buffer.here's a, well, failed star trails attempt in the palouse earlier this month...

There is software that can fix it, but that wasn’t main problem
I really needed much wider lens since North Star is so much farther overhead in that latitude! And I wanted to have the peak as a foreground item. Oh well!
back to walking around nearby places at sunrise.

Northern leopard frog
The electric company just sent out notices concerning trimming trees
near power lines, so this might be the last year that the tree looks this good.
It was nice to walk on the sidewalk under the tree.
From across the street again.
How do you get a frog to stay still that long?

You just have to ask really nice.
He was a pretty patient model. He jumped a few times, but wasn't too close to water so that made it easier. I just approached slowly. I think they are pretty confident in their camouflage and jumping ability if needed. If you go slow enough and don't seem too threatening they just sit still even when you're eventually only a few inches away the flash doesn't seem to bother them either.

A few from a local fireworks show last night.
Yes, I see it! Kinda creepy my friend!
First bloom of the season
I’m not sure why this isn’t posting full size. B&B is acting squirrelly this morning.

I have a friend that has one of these fully restored. It’s even the same color!

Beautifully done Troy. I tried fireworks pictures for the first time last Sat. night. Mine are not near as nice as yours.
Here is one of mine.
