Asian lady beetles doing some stuff

Saw the hordes on a hike they were all along the side of the path

after learning that they weren't lady bugs and are an invasive species I'm not really sure what to think of them.

Swung by the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station on my way home from camping

the Nuclear plant is now decommissioned but is now a solar farm called Rancho Seco Solar II, I really wanted to see those cooling towers

This little guy was hanging around and watching me cook during this last camping trip, it seemed pretty comfortable with me getting up close and getting several photos

How do you organize your library?

I'm still pretty new to #Darktable and was wondering now that I have my library all in Darktable how you go about using the rating system and the color labels.

I want to go through my entire library over time and want to come up with some system that I can stick to to help organize, cull, etc

Earth shadow

This was from a trip in 2021, we pulled over on the side of the road to watch the moon set, we woke up around 3am to hit the road because it was way too cold during the night in Utah.
