A storm cell rolls across Mills county.

A dark, foggy morning in Mills county.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

1/13 second exposure of fog in the beam of my Jetbeam flashlight, with a creative white balance adjustment.

Fog droplets in the beam of my flashlight. A 1/6 second exposure.

A foggy morning at Mile Hill Lake.

A foggy day last week along the West Nishnabotna river, south of Malvern, Iowa.

A few more from last month.

A foggy morning at Glenwood Lake Park. I shot these last September.

A couple from last summer. This storm produced a small tornado near Elliot, IA.

Interesting stuff to look at, but that’s about all I can say for it.

A storm cell from about 100 miles away.

The snow drifted so deep we had to dig a trail for the chickens. Sadly, all but two chickens were killed by raccoons over the summer.

An early spring sunset in southwest Iowa.

Pokey resting in the grass.

A line of storm clouds approach as the sun sets.

A Red-winged Blackbird giving me the business.

Here’s a tip for the aspiring gopher photographer: Get between the gopher and the late day sun and it won’t see you (as long as you don’t move) when its head is out of the hole.

June was a great month. Three of the photos I entered in the Glenwood Chamber of Commerce photo contest were chosen for the stone coaster set. The winners were the public library, post office, & Davies Amphitheater photos.

Alright. It’s cold, windy, & gloomy outside and I don’t have anything new that’s worth uploading.
Let’s have another look at 2007 and a bunch of photos I never got around to posting…

Aside from Christmas, all I can remember about December 2007 is alot of ice & fog. How many ice storms were there ? Five or six ? I lost count.

Ice encrusted honeysuckle berries.

A very foggy morning at Mile Hill Lake.

Rapid snow melt resulted in foggy conditions across parts of Mills county yesterday afternoon.

I’ve been wanting to get a shot of this old pump, but the background just did’nt work for me. Zero visibility solved the problem.

Tip of the Day: When it’s foggy, turn your automobile’s headlights on.

Tip of the Day for Old Farts in Pickups: When it’s foggy, stop at stop signs.

Another photo from the same foggy day.

A very foggy morning at Pony Creek Park in Mills county.

A sunny Sunday morning with hoar frost in the trees.

We were very lucky here – the power stayed on. There was major ice damage just 40 miles away.

A honeysuckle branch completely covered with ice.

I shot this ten minutes after the sun rose on a very cold morning in early March. It was -9° F / -23° C by my thermometer.

Flooded farm fields on the left and the West Nishnabotna River on the right.

A line of thunderstorms moves across the already flooded Nishnabotna valley. I shot this last Sunday. Thankfully, it’s been dry since then.

The West Nishnabotna River out of its banks following very heavy rainfall.

There was alot of rotation in this storm cloud yesterday evening. It almost formed a funnel cloud several times before it broke up. It was an eerie sight.
