Left Reaching Lightning

Not a scientific term by any means, just a strange realization that all of my lightning went left this evening.  Some storms were severe but nothing reached the Wichita area.

Streak to the left was one of several planes that landed in Wichita this evening. 

Show Coming Up

I will have nature, wildlife, storm photography and even my novel for sale.

If there is something you've seen on my website that you don't see at the show, please let me know.

Starry Night with a Near Full Moon.

Dim satellite to the left of center.

The satellite would flare in the sun or moonlight.

Simple Summer Storms

A nice cold front has been hanging to the north spawning summer thunderstorms.  I went out attempting to get some daytime lightning shots but simply ended up with cloudscapes.  Everything remained below severe levels and we ended up with a nice gentle rain.

Twilight Zoo

We are not talking about sparkling hippos here.

The zoo adds a night during the summer months that people can come and roam the zoo until 8pm.  Not horribly late, but the zoo itself seems more laid back.  With the recent colder weather (80's-90's), tonight was perfect.

Feed me.

Stand next to a person that makes them hungry.

Same lioness, different perspective. 

Black and white and red all over. 

I heard there are no more black rhinos in the wild . . . 

Happy 4th everyone
