Yesterday, we went to Mount Pleasant and the Old Thresher Reunion for the Holiday train. We've done this every year with the kids and this could possibly be the last year. #steamtrain #oldthreshers #mountpleasant #santatrain #polarexpress

We traveled as a family to Alaska over Thanksgiving break. We had a great time and got to see the northern lights with an expert guide. Here’s a photo she took of us the northern lights during the end of a substorm. Thanks Maia! #fairbanks #aurora #northernlights

Playing with Timelapse photos to create star trails during the G4 storm last week. Hard to see the stars due to how bright the aurora was. #startrails #startrailchasers #astrophotography #night #nightsky #auroraborealis #northernlights

Something I've been working on for awhile. Took about 3hrs worth of photos at the end of August. Eagle Nebula on the top and Omega Nebula on the bottom. #eaglenebula #dso #astrophotography #astro #omeganebula #nightsky #nightskyphotography

Went on a weekend trip and storms started developing in Nebraska. Was able to capture some lightning on the way. I tried using a zoom lens and worked out well, just a tad off on the focus. #storm #storms #lightning #severewx #weather #severeweather

I was able to see some storms yesterday in Iowa. Here are the night photos as I was driving home. Lots of lightning in this storm and it was amazing to watch! #tucsonstormchasers #storm #lightning #iowa

My first attempt at a deep space object (DSO), Andromeda Galaxy (M31) which is 2.5 million light years away from Earth and similar structure to our Milky Way Galaxy.

My two best captures from last nights storms, captured around 1am. The storms went north and south around Iowa City, so I was able to stay dry while shooting from a hill. #storm #lightning #tucsonstormchasers #iowacity #iowa

On the second full day in Florence we visited the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze and Giardino Bardini. Michelangelo had pieces in the Galleria. He would have his apprentices rough carve sculptures and he would finish them. #galleriadellaccademia #giardinodiboboli #florence #florenceitaly

More photos from storms yesterday. The first picture is a land spout that was developing which turned into dust storm at the leading edge of the supercell. The next are a couple wall clouds throughout the day. #storms #storm
