On mornings when The Wife has to work at the downtown Buffalo site (currently twice a week), it falls to me to take Hobbes out for his morning constitutional, so as to save her some time. Yesterday morning I took him out, looked up at the autumn sky, and saw…this.
So I made Hobbes stop in his tracks (frustrating for a dog on his morning walk, I know!) while I pulled out my phone to do a little astro-and-cloud-photography. (Is cloud-photography called “cumulophotography”? Seems to me it should be….)

I am always happy to see Orion the Hunter high in the sky again. It means the winter stars are returning, and I am here for it.
Good to see you again, Orion! May your hunt be fruitful!
