Frosty November morning in Indiana...

Some sunrise clouds to start November. A little red creeping above the corn... Some ripples in the cirrus after returning home...

Just so you know, we are currently under daylight savings time. On November 3rd e will revert to standard time.

I took this picture of the neighbor's sycamore tree because I thought that was Indiana's state tree. Come to find out that the tulip tree is the state tree not the sycamore. The sycamore is on the state seal though. Regardless, here is how muted the colors are here...

Looks like the lowest pressure on the hourlies was 996 at KIND while LAF and HUF were 994. What as the best Illinois could do?

KIND at over 2 inches while only 0.90 in my tippy bucket. I wondered if I had a leaf clog up the gauge but the .90 seems to match well with the radar estimates.

Looks like the best color will be right out my front door at the library...

Tonight was a race with a boundary from that massive low up north and darkness. The edge got close to overhead but it as a near thing. Did get some dramatic light so that helped a little bit. When I got to the pond looking northeast when the Sun popped out... Looking south with the same strong white light... Looking west and the strong yellow light as the Sun hid behind some clouds... This image has quite the variety. Orange up high, yellow in the middle and red in the distance... Max red dynamics... Last of the red as it was fading looking northeast like I started the evening...

Interesting but totally coincidental that I have had 0.43 here ith the rain so far. Looks like just south of me picked up a tad more. KIND at 0.60. Have no idea if this water will help but the colors were rather muted yesterday while I as out and about trying to find them...

Was a busy day behind the viewfinder. Looking north in the afternoon... Looking northeast in the afternoon... Looking east when I got to the pond in the evening... Now onto the post sunset, an overview... A close-up of the orange and red...

Was dancing with the virga this evening. Looking south when I got out to the pond... Max orange on the virga... Leaning a tad more towards red and a little more expansive...

Anyone else smelling bean dust in the air before the Sun comes up in the morning?

Nice evening for a sunset. Had just a tad of cirrus in just the right location. Also think it might have been influenced from soybean dust suspended in the air. The colors were rather vivid. Started off post sunset with the yellows... Now with orange on the horizon... Some red starting off high in the sky and at the top of this image... Serious red on the horizon... Ending the evening with just a splash of the violet color thanks to the Asian volcanos earlier in the year...

Had a little tendril from that massive low up north sweep through right at sunset. Nice timing...

I would guess, NOAA. Your mileage may vary though.

Living large here. A whole whopping Trace.

Squeezed another sunset after work. Not sure how that is going to last seeing ho early it gets dark now. But it was another nice October sunset. Pre-sunset... This is probably close to actual sunset but seeing how that stand of trees is in the way I am not entirely sure... Best of the post sunset dynamics/color...

Tonight as just a normal night out. Will have to wow with multiples. Pre-sunset... Early post-sunset... Late post-sunset...

Tonight as about one thing, and one thing only; crepuscular rays. So you only get one image tonight. *Drop mike*

Not much to the sunset this evening. Way off in the distance... The Moon... Some over-the-horizon cloud shadows...

92 at KIND today. Broke the record of 89 for the day in 1971. Lets go for another one tomorrow.

Gorgeous evening out at the pond. Both physically and visually. Started off with some cloud shadows... Local sunset... What gives me the biggest thrills, the orange or red flash... For symmetry going to end the nigh with cloud shadows, just the over-the-horizon kind...

This evening a hole opened up overhead of the high altitude clouds. The low altitude kept forming, eroding and then reforming all sunset long. Gave me plenty to shoot. Starting out... Close to sunset... Goin to make a time break and head to late post sunset... Here comes some more low altitude stuff... Last image before the big billboard lit off...

Meanwhile KIND has had nothing. Nothing like a southeast ridge flexing it's muscle.

This is from the evening of the 27th. Was completely socked with clouds around five but by six the ridge started flexing it's muscle a bit and started clearing things out overhead. Looking east when I got to the pond around seven... Just this one cloud that was melting around sunset... An overview at sunset of orange at the horizon and white in the upper atmosphere... I thought there might be a chance of some crepuscular rays from the cells in Missouri. A nice way to end the evening...
