Well that was interesting. The first time the tippy bucket has moved in over a month. Good to know it still works. 0.50" was put through in short order under a thunderstorm. Could do that for a couple days in a row. Now, will it?

omg, there is liquid stuff falling from the sky here. The brown grass is going to go into convulsions.

First sunset of Autumn was OK here. Nothing special but it still looked decent...

Last hours of Summer. Someone needs to fire up the Autumn Banter thread and all of you winter weenies can go hog wild for that frozen precipitation.

Meanwhile, just a little bit east of you, a big fat zero in the tippy bucket. Location, location, location.

14 days to go from white to tan on the graphics. The beans here and my grass now match the drapes of the drought graphics for my county.

"Look Ma, no smoke! Let me put on the circular polarizer and see how blue I can make the sky!" Turns out, plenty blue.

Don't you hate to play, "Where did I put that coat?" when this time of year comes around?

I agree with you here. Grass is going dormant again. Could use a shot of the juice. The cards are not looking good though.

Until you get one of those Texas hookers that drag flooding rains straight up the Mississippi.

Ending August with a little bit of ground fog to mute the morning colors.

Cool enough. Was just curious if there was any science behind the reference.

THe fish are not happy. Neither is HurricaneJosh as he wants a cat 5 to blow down his new house.

But that tweet is only about the first week of September. Says nothing about October/November. What you do know that you are not telling us?

KIND at 91/75/103 for the day. Day 2 in the streak. Tomorrow was looking iffy yesterday but now they are thinking of another 90 to continue the Spartaman streak.

7-29 and Back Home Again in Indiana... Going to over sell this day. It was one of those evenings. Starting off with a sundog (parhelia) on the south side of the Sun. Taken with the 24-70mm at 45mm... Both sides of the sundogs (parhelia). Taken with the 24-70mm at 30mm... The sundog on the northside of the Sun. Taken with the 24-70mm at 55mm... And ending with the post sunset color. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm... Cheers!

7-23 and still in central New York. A red flash during the post sunset. Taken ith the 24-70mm at 70mm cropped in camera...

7-20 and I was in central New York visiting my Dad. His house and some midday contrails. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

7-13 The sunset sky conditions. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm...

Seeing how I have been in-n-out hiding from the Sun today, figured I would update this thread a bit. Been awhile and really needed to try and knock down the backlog. From 7-9. Some crepuscular rays. Taken with the 24-70mm at 47mm...

Best KIND could do today was 90/75/100. The first of many?

0.58" in the tippy bucket for today. Seems to be close to the radar estimates for the area. After mowing the grass yesterday, this moisture is just going to keep it growing.

I agree. We are almost to the third week of August and the grass is still green and growing here. I am not complaining as I like the smell of fresh cut grass but usually in August we are in the hot and drys here.

7-6 The sunset conditions vertically. Taken with the 24-70mm at 63mm... The sunset conditions horizontally. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm cropped in camera...

7-3. Back out at the overpass for a normal sunset. Pre-sunset color. Taken with the 24-70mm at 30mm... Post sunset color. Taken with the 24-70mm at 45mm...
