Thought I’d introduce Bsky to my newest bestie, Bernice! 🐮🌀

We met Bernice near Crawford, NE in mid August. Her friends had all peaced out but her curiosity won & she stayed to watch me fly (er, flail) out of the car & set up my shot. It’s probably one of my favorite shots to date.

Thanks for the warm welcome back, Bsky. It’s so much more pleasant here without the daily episode of Idiocracy. 🙃

Here’s a Colorado supercell from August resulting from 3 (three!) storm mergers. 🌀 Got a tad surprised by the intensity & thusly was a little closer than usual…

Forgot this platform existed bc the engagement on here is 🗑️ but I’m gonna post a few recent photos anyway & we’ll see how it goes.

Here’s a Colorado #fall shot from an iconic spot but IMO the clouds are what make it. 🍁⛅️

Light show on Ridge Road in Castle Rock a couple weeks ago. ⚡️ #cowx

It’s really hard to establish a sense of scale for the Kilauea eruptions, even being here in person - so a big thank you to the USGS folks who conveniently positioned their vehicles near the crater wall to collect tephra during Episode 14. Do you see em? 🌋🛻

Ferns are cool.

Kilauea #volcano Episode 12. 🌋

Hawaii. The end.

Taking in Kilauea, March 4, 2025 🌋

It’s only fitting that a photo include Mauna Loa, my first volcano, that changed my photography (& interests) forever. I love how it looms behind Kilauea, overseeing the new eruption.

Anyone for a nice jaunt to Mordor, ahem, the Park? 😚🌋

Episode 12 at Kilauea volcano was spectacular. 🌋

She’s up & running! Kilauea Episode 12! 🌋
March 5, 2025 at 1:02 AM
Okay Kilauea what have you got for us today? 🌋

When you see old friends emerge from the haze & know you’re home.

Where am I? 🌋

I’ll just leave this here.

I am pretty ready for storm szn.

Colorado is on the board for some boltage! ⚡️⚡️ Near Castle Rock. #cowx

Happy day of (weather) love! 💜

Was just showing this on a big screen at a photography conference & will never not be blown away by this perspective. That’s Mauna Kea as seen from an erupting Mauna Loa in Dec ‘22. Nature is amazing.

Your constituency that voted him in, folks.

Most days I feel like I’d be way happier if I was this ignorant.

One of my more proud moments in chasing in recent years - nabbing a supercell in Monument Valley, AZ in Sept 2023. 🤓
