A Stormy Superbloom In Death Valley There really wasn’t a Superbloom. Â A trending topic on Facebook, the spring wildflower season was good, but not incredible or “once in a lifetime” or any of the hyperbole you read. Â Still, here is a small first selection of images I made on a stormy weekend in Death Valley.

Most people know that the visible light spectrum is only a small part of the full light spectrum in the universe.  The full range of the electromagnetic spectrum … Read more

Â We decided to use Facebook Advertising to make sales. One of the challenges in our first experience with self-publishing is simply letting the world know our book exists. Jeremy and I both have Facebook … Read more
