This unique-looking purple carrot sneered at me, with its best jack o’lantern impression, before I ate it as an after-work snack. 🎃

Good morning. Trees in Lacombe Alberta Canada are looking good with a little bit of new snow on them this morning.

#AuroraBorealis put on a great show here at Wilkie Saskatchewan Canada tonight!
(And for once I got the timing right, being right on site taking photos during the most intense part of the display this time, hooray!)

We had a smoke-assisted #sunset tonight, after what likely was our final 30° day of the summer. Before today, we had been nicely free of #smokehaze for approximately 3 weeks!

Here’s a video I shot while we flew over the confluence where the Pine River joins the larger #PeaceRiver, filmed yesterday at 1:10PM. This was very shortly after taking off from Fort St John.

I was very pleased with what I found at Big Kinfe #ProvincialPark, in Alberta’s Battle River Valley, SW of Forestburg AB. The footage is from yesterday at 6:45PM.

Here’s a recent #nocturnal #thunderstorm behind Wainwright Alberta, 11:15PM July 24th. #Lightning is one of my favourite things to photograph and I have LOTS of pics that I have not shared yet! 🤪

Here’s the South end of the Admiral #mesocyclone yesterday, at 3:50PM. Rear-flank downdraft winds run along the front bottom side of that rim-cloud, from left to right. There was a lot of visible rotation in the clouds 5 minutes after this!

In this image from Whistler Mountain yesteray, you can clearly see that some parts of Jasper Townsite were completely wiped out by that big forest fire last summer. 😢

British Columbia’s #KinneyLake is a real #gem. At 14km return to the backcountry campground on the North side of the lake, I’d classify it as a day-hike (or a half-day mountain bike).

This may have been the slowest-moving supercell I have ever seen, but also one of the largest wall clouds I’ve ever seen! 😁

I shot this 20-minute #supercell #timelapse near Denzil Saskatchewan Canada on Friday night, starting at 6:15PM. After hiding in my car from some thunderous lightning bolts, I made a quick exit at the end. I barely escaped getting caught in the incoming hail core.
