It is amazing to see the bottom of your patio door.

^ Fantastic!

And yet if a scorching stretch happens, the doomsday people will holler foul even though the numbers say it is about time.

Went out into the country for the sunset. The various cloud levels when I got out to the fields. Taken with the 24-70mm at 28mm... The rest of the sunset was like looking through a thin vision port. Taken with the 100mm... the light orange... The dark orange... Cheers!

Tulips colors... Yellows Orange. Same as the last but earlier in the growth cycle.

And now for something completely different. A sunrise on the 24th. The vibrant color starts first. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm... The yellows and oranges. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm... I look north just before sunrise and the light orange spanning the whole sky. Taken with the 16-35mm at 16mm... "Here comes the sun. Do-Do, Do-Do. It's alright". Taken with the 100mm... Good mornin' my darlin', wherever you are...

From the evening of the 23rd. A single image of the conditions close to sunset. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

No where close to sultry here. Yesterday at max heating the dews were only in the low 50's. Today so far, the dews are only in the mid 50's. Really does not feel sultry to me until the dews get closer to 65.

KIND was at 84 from 2:54p.m. till 6;00p.m.. I am impressed that it stuck around as long as it did.

At 8:54 a.m., KIND hit the elusive 1030mb. 30.42 for those of you that play the inches of Mercury thang.

The dial on the analog barometer (from my Grandfather) is cranked way around to the right. Do not see it that high very often. I see KIND is reporting 30.35 now.

Another nice evening. I went to the top of Hall-Baker road to get as much of the sky uninterrupted. Looking south-southeast at a batch of cumulus. Taken with the 24-70mm at 30mm... First look west and all the cirrus. Taken with the 24-70mm at 35mm... Last image of the night as the color as waning. Taken with the 24-70mm at 39mm... Cheers!

These were all taken yesterday the 19th. I took so many images that I was falling asleep just trying to get them all sorted last night. Had to wait until tonight to process everything. Some late afternoon cumulus Taken with the 24-70mm at 47mm... Had a nice mix of cirrus and cumulus for the sunset. Looking south when I got out to the firehouse. Taken with the 24-70mm at 35mm... Used the GND here to try and balance the light left and right. Taken with the 24-70mm at 30mm... Kind of subtle, but the various heights of the cirrus is kind of evident. Taken with the 24-70mm at 44mm... Later!

Some color from yesterday. A late daffodil. I might have shot this a little bit too light, but it is what it is.

^ lol, I was wondering. Figured I would not say anything as it was a bonus for those of us that come to this thread.

^ Thats cool.

Another fine day behind the viewfinder. Started off with some mid-morning cirrus above the house. Taken with the 24-70mm at 31mm... Moving on to the sunset. Was a busy night with clouds but there were breaks among them. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm... Starting to thin out a bit. Taken with the 24-70mm at 30mm and the GND... As the Sun was sinking in the warehouse and the gunk on the horizon. Last vestiges. Taken with the 24-70mm at 55mm...

First tulip opened up of the year. Of course, it was one of the red ones. Trying to not blow out the red can be frustrating. Did I succeed? I actually like this not-quite opened bloom even better. The colors are more balanced and I think I managed to get this lit correctly with good backlighting and use of a white reflector in front.

Curious state of affairs here. All afternoon it has been raining, but not raining. Concentrated drizzle? At least it has been 60 degrees so it does not feel too raw.

An extremely busy day behind the viewfinder. Started off when I forgot to turn off the alarm before going to bed yesterday. Woke up all bummed out that I had to head back to work till I remembered it was Sunday and I did not have to go in to work. Seeing how I was up I went and took images of the sunrise instead. Taken with the 100mm as the Sun was just climbing above the eastern horizon... Now going to transition over to the sunset. There was a couple layers of cirrus so I thought it might get interesting. I did walk back to the pond because I knew I needed to get to as much of the horizon as possible. Seeing how the new business does not like me being behind their building and I know they have cameras back there, I wonder if I will receive another visit from the law enforcement officers in the near future. Time will tell. This is what it looked like just before the Sun dipped below the horizon. Taken with the 24-70mm at 41mm... Here comes the red from the east! Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm and the GND... As the last of the color was heading into the horizon. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm and the GND... Good night my darlin', wherever you are...

Finally, that pesky upper low moved east of me around sunset. About time. Looking east when I got out to the firehouse. Taken with the 24-70mm at 42mm... Looking northwest as the Sun was getting fairly low in the sky. I did use the GND to balance out the light a little bit. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm... Some serious yellows and oranges. Taken with the 100mm... The red flash surprised me. I had packed up and as in the process of leaving when it snuck up on me. I had to get all my stuff back out in a hurry. Taken with the 100mm... Cheers!

These large sloppy gyres that sit-n-spin overhead and give you days of snizzle, rain, sleet, rain snow, rain at 39 degrees are not my idea of nice Spring weather. Next pattern please!

Was in an alleyway all day of systems all around me. Managed to have a semi-decent sunset. The beginning color. Taken with the 100mm... The best dynamics of the evening. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm... The fading color. Taken with the 100mm...

Daffodils are in their prime... Tulips are starting to think about it...

Any day in April where you can get some blue sky and some Sun is a good day. It was a good day in central Indiana.
