A recent sunset seemed to be highlighting the dotted clouds in the area, which made the sky look more patterned than usual.

Post Storm Sunset

We had some severe storms come through our area this week, and had tornado sirens going off both in the morning and evening. Luckily the first set of storms had a mild tornado farther south of us. The second set had a potential formation going over us but luckily nothing actually came together and we only got a bit of hail.

Grebes in the Rain

We have seen grebes many times but very often they are solo or there may be two. It was unusual to see a group swimming together, which this one did for some time.

Late Bloomer Sunset
Mar. 27th, 2026 12:50 pmyourlibrarian
The sunset last weekend looked very simple, but I liked its casual glow stretched on the clouds. Less than 10 minutes later my partner called me to come look at the sky and the red in it was astonishing.

Star Sunset and Flare + Ducks
Mar. 5th, 2026 08:16 pmyourlibrarian
Perhaps because we were seeing it at a rippling distance, when I looked out at the lake the other night, the ball of fire that was the setting sun seemed to be reflected as a five pointed star. Don't know how clearly that came out here but I liked the photo regardless.

Ice Fishing? + Sunset
Feb. 13th, 2026 06:57 pmyourlibrarian
Spotted something last week with a sunset, it looked like a beam of light was coming up from the ground. Tried to zoom in on it to make it a little clearer but I think it was more noticeable in person.

Fire in the Sky Sunset
Feb. 5th, 2026 07:52 pmyourlibrarian
Some weeks back I saw one of the most fiery color sunsets I've yet seen. It's usually the case that sunsets look even more colorful to the camera, but in this case it was already a strong red, and was widespread.

Sunsets and Woodpecker

This photo wasn't the year's first sunset but rather the first one that was really a "wow". Loved the colors.

Photos: Sunset
Jan. 4th, 2026 09:06 pmysabetwordsmithTonight I happened to glance out the window and spotted a colorful sunset. So I grabbed my camera and ran outside to take pictures. This gets me started on my goal of taking and posting photos at least once per season. \o/

No Beaver Moon
Nov. 26th, 2025 05:37 pmyourlibrarian
Was on the lookout the night it was supposed to appear, but there was a lot of cloud cover in the east, and I saw no moon at all that Thursday night.
However we did have a great sunset.

San Francisco Area

Our trip had ended in San Francisco because I was there to attend the memorial of a friend's mother. The cemetery was a beautiful place.

full_metal_oxTaken on 21 June 2024 at 20:33 US Eastern Daylight Savings Time, as I hurried up the street through the break in the rain.
My limited equipment does the scene nothing even remotely resembling justice: neither the multi-layered gauzy rainbow-sherbet luminosity nor the grand theatricality of the skyscape, with the air of a vintage book illustration or a meticulously painted film backdrop. A detail I particularly like is the small dark cumulus cloud at bottom center that suggests a person astride a charging (pig? bear? huge dog?)

Spring at Last

The weather has clearly turned when we have to turn on the AC to sleep at night, but finally seeing most of the trees in bloom was also high on the list.

Sunrise and Sunsets
Apr. 23rd, 2025 04:37 pmyourlibrarian
It was actually about 7 AM several weeks ago when I took this so it wasn't anywhere near sunrise. But I noticed that while it stays light longer now, that overcast days tended to have a slow spread of sunshine in the morning. Anyway, made for some great colors and shadows. ( Read more... )
full_metal_oxTaken at 5:52 PM EST 22 December 2023, this is something I really should’ve posted a year ago; I’m squeezing it under the wire just as the outgoing Lunar Year expires.
