    Sunrise on 8-5 featured a pink Sun. Me thinks some smoke must have helped this along. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm and cropped in camera...

    8-1 was a study on cloud shadows. Started off right at sunset with this cute little shadow all by itself. Taken with the 24-70mm at 57mm... A bit later things got more numerous but a bit more diffuse. Taken with the 24-70mm at 57mm... It got really wild by the time the orange/red started creeping overhead. The shadows got even more defined as the Sun rounded down farther west way over the horizon. Taken with the 16-35mm at 20mm... Cheers!

    Ummmmm, Oooooops? Training error? Trick or Treat?

    About as perfect a day as you can hope for. Even for a holiday. 77/43 was perfect bike riding weather. Seeing how ALEK loves his deathridges, is this a Canadian Pleasant ridge?

    7-28 ended up being fairly special. Storms were exiting the area around sunset. When I got to the firehouse the virga and crepuscular rays were just starting in a fury. Taken with the 24-70mm at 39mm... I thought maybe some special might happen and I wanted to get out in the country where I could have unencumbered views all around the compass. So I took the time to relocate. Here it is a bit later ith the sun bending around a silo out in the countryside. Taken with the 24-70 at 55mm... Good thing I had clear east views also as there as this rainbow arc. Taken with the 24-70mm at 65mm... And now for the showstopper and the last image of the evening. A full on orange rainbow at sunset. Taken with the 16-35mm at 18mm... Good night my darl'in, wherever you are....

    7-24 was just a proto-typical summer sunset. Lots of haze/humidity made the sky milky. And most of the summer the worst of the smoke stayed off to the west as you can see on the horizon. The scattering of alto-cumulus put just enough oompah into the sky to make it worth taking a fe clicks. Taken with the 24-70mm at 42mm...

    7-21 was about the post sunset color. As the pinks started overhead. Taken with the 24-70mm at 45mm... Max red in the area. Taken with the 24-70mm at 55mm... Cheers!

    7-20 was about the pre-sunset color. With the blue. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm... And just the yellows/browns. Taken with the 100mm and cropped in the camera...

    Only extremely behind now. 7-17 has a nice variety for the sunset. Looking WNW pre-sunset. The broad and kind of undefined crepuscular rays are not really that exciting but they way to top of the cloud bank is delineated looks cool to me. Taken ith the 24-70mm at 70mm... Looking southwest around sunset so you have some context on the last and better shot. Taken with the 16-35mm at 16mm... The best of the post sunset color looking southwest. Taken with the 16-35mm at 16mm...

    Just saw on a feed here that the police at the Minnesota State Fair were telling people to take shelter. Everything turn out OK?

    Duh, nevermind, I just got it.

    BER stands for what?

    97/77/112 is plenty close enough for me.

    I thought it felt ugly here at 91/70 and then looked LOT and see 93/79 and say no thank you.

    With the leaf drop soon to happen, and the excellent drying conditions, I sealed the driveway for the year, yesterday. It was starting to flake off in chunks and needed to be sealed before the rains start and so not stop again. I do not care what they advertise, 3 years or 5 years, they only last one year before planned obsolescence occurs.

    I miss Hoosier keeping us updated on drought conditions. You reminded me to look it up... Looks like you are only up to D0 as of the 20th.Here we are still fine, so they say.

    Now that is almost a first. KIND made it to 90 and you did not.

    1900

    Finally, it rained here. 0.92" in the tippy bucket. But that fell in twenty to thirty minutes so there was a lot of run off with the rock-hard dry ground.

    79/52 and partly cloudy to mostly sunny all day. This was the kind of day that you want to copy and paste as a perfect summer day. Lets do it again real soon!
  21. bowtie`
    Under the category of you do not see this very often, KIND on the five minute obs, the best they could do was 91/74/101 numerous times. But the official high temp rounded UP to 92. Someone needs to send a medic to Spartman to see if he is OK.

    Gained back the dew point degrees from yesterday. 91/72/99 made today feel kind of bad outside. Even the mosquitos chased me inside this evening while playing guitar on the front stoop a little bit ago. Just not a nice day to be outside.

    I noticed on the bike ride yesterday that the early corn is starting to mature in the bottom quarter of the stalks. Always a bad sign that cooler temps are in the future.

    Now in the dog days of summer. Cicada time. And the time for extreme measures to keep the impatiens alive.

    After being 88'd yesterday, today we lost a couple of degrees of dewpoint and that allowed us to make it to 90 degrees.
