My latest video is an overview of the next two total solar eclipses -- the one on Aug. 12, 2026 (visible from Iceland & Spain) and Aug. 2, 2027 (visible from Spain & North Africa). Hopefully this will video help you as you make your plans. Cheers! #astronomy #solareclipse youtu.be/99qmRY55iFE

Robert Redford was in a whole whack of good films, but my two favourites are The Sting (1973) and All the President's Men (1976), both of which hold up to repeated viewings a half-century later.

Got up early for this one. :) The waning crescent moon -- and Venus -- and their reflections -- at Geier Lake, NS, June 2025: ( #photography #nightphotography #novascotia )

Sometimes 24 years seems like the blink of an eye... The World Trade Center as viewed from the Brooklyn Bridge, 35mm slide film, 1990s.

Just for fun, behold some of my ancient baseball cards:

Guess I shoulda plucked a red rose rather than a white rose. 🙃
