Cloud watching

Stratocumulus clouds in the sky and reflected in a lake. A pier is in the foreground. Trees and a few houses can be seen along the nearby shore on the side.

Some days, I could spend hours just watching the clouds.

Six painted turtles crowded together, some on top of each other, on a log in a pond.

On a cool and sunny day, the pond logs are always so crowded.

Solar eclipse composite

April 13, 2024Astronomy, SkyJonathan

13 images of various phases of the total solar eclipse with totality at the center.

April 8, 2024. Totality in Lebanon, Indiana lasted about 2.5 minutes. It was over so fast! From start to finish, the entire eclipse lasted around 2.5 hours. This is a composite of photos I took throughout the whole thing.

Eclipsing with Chris

Jonathan Bloy and Christine Davis taking a selfie together.

I was fortunate to have a very convenient place to witness the total eclipse: The backyard of my sister Christine and brother-in-law Glenn, in Lebanon Indiana.

Totality

April 9, 2024Astronomy, SkyJonathan

The sun's corona, visible during a solar eclipse. A hint of red color is visible in the corona near the top of the sun's blocked-out silhouette.

I decided to travel to totality for yesterday’s solar eclipse. It was the first time I’ve ever witnessed a total solar eclipse, and it was an amazing experience!

Magnolias in waiting

April 7, 2024Close Up, FlowersJonathan

A magnolia bud with a fuzzy shell. The shell has begun to open and petals from a white blossom are beginning to emerge.

When the buds of magnolia blossoms start to emerge, they can be almost as beautiful as the flowers themselves.
