With the end of daylight savings time as of 2 AM this morning (for applicable US states), time to check in with everyone’s favourite star, the sun. Except where noted, all shots are a recent sunrise over Presque Isle Bay:

Later in the day, deployed the solar filter again for checking on sunspot activity, in conjunction (in some shots) with passing clouds:






Nice view of sunspot activity w/o clouds @ 600mm (slightly cropped):


Another nice view of sunspot activity @ 1200mm, slightly cropped:










Beautiful afternoon yesterday at Presque Isle State Park once the clouds burned off. “Bird of the day” – a great/surprise sighting of 5x super cute Snow Bunting @ Leo’s Landing! More on this in tomorrow’s post.
