Why so quiet.
Well, it's been a rather long drought. Here is the current Kansas Drought monitor.

Thunderstorms, sleet, thunder snow, ice, snow. It's all about 12 hours and done here in Kansas. Schools and businesses are closed and the roads are not great. I needed a day to rest and unwind. It was 66 degrees yesterday. I'm hoping seeing some moisture returning will give us a good storm season this year.
While playing around with storms I also decided to mint some NFT's of the wildlife I collected over the years.
This lioness was sunning herself on top of Pride Rock at Sedgwick County Zoo.
My NFT's can be found here on OpenSea: https://opensea.io/collection/the-lioness-of-pride-rock
This was a large squall line. Originally the photo took seven different photos to make the panoramic. If you notice the car on the right looks slightly blurry. The last photo was taken when the gust front of about 70 mph hit, driving all the chaff, rocks, and dirt at me making it blurry. Luckily I was nearby shelter and was able to wait out the worst of it. Derecho has been used by NASA, NOAA, and the National Weather Service.

Derecho - City of the SilentRecently I've done a deep dive into NFT's as another possibility to show and sell my work. I am going to take photos from post chases and put them into Google's Deep Dream. This is an odd neural network that looks at a photo trying to find things that it recognizes and inserts them.
When completed the photos can appear otherworldly and at the extreme, nightmarish.
