Wet. We've had over five inches of rain since yesterday morning.

Oh, and a tornado or two, but west of me.

Woke up to SUNSHINE!! Supposed to drop the humidity and be sunny the next few days!! Hoping to get in a hike on Sunday with the wife!!! John

This is not today but I just found where it was hiding and thought what the heck. A Jan 27, 2017 sunrise. The Sun was really showing off.

Patiently waiting for the August eclipse and hoping for a nice day.

0620 July 4, 2017 Astoria Oregon. Looking toward the afternoon.

Maybe it will Burn off by 1300 and be a beautiful 4th. I do see clear sky behind the clouds and fog.

Happy Independence Day to all and God Bless You All and America.

95 with 72 dew point.. Can you say "HOTTT".. I am going to be outside most of the afternoon/eve.. Hope my deodorant don't fail me!!! John

Have finally reached the conclusion that God knows how to make things interesting. He sure knows how to mix his colors.
The second photo is about a 100 degrees west of the first

Living in the Florida Panhandle about halfway between the Gulf and the Alabama line, summer temperatures are understandably hot and humid. Last week the weather forecasters said we were in for some cool weather in a few days and it turned out they actually got it right! Yesterday morning it was 68 degrees and then today it got down to 63 at daylight! Really refreshing, but summer is not over by a long shot, it still hit 88 yesterday afternoon and will probably be around 90 again today, but it was nice this morning!
Weather is always interesting, we all have it and it is so different through out our great country!

Lookin like we got a storm brewin.. Rainin HARD!!! Its darker than the eclipse!!! John

Unseasonably cool and cloudy here for August. Went to high school football scrimmage last evening - about 80 degrees with wind chill about 70!

Even knowing the news media over-reacts to a lot of these weather events, I'm concerned about Harvey. I have a lot of family in San Patricio county just north of Corpus Christi. Tried to talk them into coming here until the storm is over, but they've survived hurricanes before. Farm folks have animals, equipment and buildings to watch over. They're not leaving.

Praying for the people in the path of Harvey.
According to the Weather Channel it been 4,500 day since a Major Storm has hit the USA

Just for what it's worth, here in beautiful Pflugerville, Texas, beginning at 3pm we just had our first little shower. Daughter in Katy has been getting it most, if not all of the day.
We (read that the bride) have been sitting around all puckered up and eyeing the weather channel since early today.

92 On my Deck at 1800 yesterday supposed to be 99 today. I caught these two photo's and what with it being Sunday I presumed I might bring up a thought about God. Do you believe he knew that the earth, the atmosphere, the clouds, the pollutants. the humidity and everything else involved were going to help act as a huge parabolic reflector and scatter the colors that were being projected over these hills this morning? These are the type of images that would be near impossible with a film camera. Imagine all the filters you would have to use stacked on top of each other. Sorry, I digressed. These pics. are not tremendous, but they can be enlarged several times to show the fading of the color lines. He was a pretty smart guy! It would be awfully hard to mix and create these hues on a painting. By the way this is the raw footage with no touchup at all. I did crop them to show the maximum subject. 0600 Aug 27 2017

Moss,
Your pictures and comments reminded me of what we read this morning in our devotional reading. In Proverbs chapter 8 it speaks of God's wisdom and beginning in verse 22 through 31, this particular passage speaks about the creation you photographed this morning.
Thanks for the picture and thoughts!

A street in Houston 8/27/17 outside my son's apartment (not his car). He manages a Meineke so he took his car to work and put it up on the lift.

Suppose to be 108 today and 109 tomorrow, here in Southern Cali. and since I have to work Outdoors all day, it aint going to be Pretty!

That sux Mitch.. Drink ALOT !!! Stay hydrated and safe!! John

Thanks John! Will DO!

The Sun this A.M. thru the fire smoke east and south of Portland. A heck of a better show than the eclipse.
The orange color of the corona is more of an accurate color than the center. With the smoke filter you could look at the full sun as you wished.

Easy rainfall this morning. Just enough to keep the creek filled and flowing nicely.

Irma is now about 200 miles or more in diameter and is currently devastating the Keys and south Florida.

Irma is making a B-line for my house. This town has no food, gas, plywood, tapcons, no nothing. I'm loading all my knives in ammo cans and putting them up. This should be a real "Happening".
