A trail meandering through a forest located in the Lummi Island Heritage Trust protected lands. Firs and cedar trees and the lovely salal bushes make for a pleasant day in the woods.

James -
Here are photos of the tornado forming, along with a description of each.
My friend, Nick Lee, is a storm spotter. He and I were out taking these
photos that day. He is the copyright owner and has given me permission to
share them with you.

P.S.: Please use the descriptions somehow in your description of the photos.
Description of photos:
Tornado-1: shows the storm coming around the corner into view.
Tornado-2: Inflow notch seen - this is where the air feeding the updraft was
located at.
Tornado-3 & 4: Tornado on ground getting closer to City of Cullman. At this
point it was passing Good Hope and going through Cullman County.
Tornado-5: Here you can see another vortex forming. What we were witnessing
was a rapid intensification of this storm from an EF2 to a multi-vortex EF4.
Tornado-6: Even though the funnel is hard to see, the tornado was still on
the ground. Here you can see the multiple vortexes spinning around the one
in the middle that looks like it is invisible.
First experiments with a new form in the ever-evolving world of Pano-Sabotage photography that's been dubbed "MonitorPano". It's both a new turn for me and a return to a very old tactic I used in 2012 where I achieved coarse but provoking layers by photographing, with my Canon Rebel XS, my computers screen saver as it faded in and out between images in my photo files. The great thing was that the images didn't just click from one to the next like a slide show, they faded in and out over top of each other. There was always a "crossover" point where the two images would occupy the same amount of "presence" on the screen thereby becoming "fused" or "blended" ... in effect ... layered. A cruder version of Brian Enos Installation piece, "77 Million Paintings", perhaps, but using the same idea.

By the time Apple brought out the next Operating System, they'd taken out that scrolling slide show feature from what was then "iPhoto" and re-dubbed it "Photos". It always amazes me how the Silicon Valley geeks always "improve" things by taking out unique and wonderful features. Gotta mow it all down to sameness and uniformity, I guess. Unique features are seen as "mistakes".
Liz Mack has asked, "How long will it take for Apple to 'correct' the algorithms that allow for Pano-Sabotage photography ?"
MonitorPano, even though being hotly used right now and to great effect has actually been around quietly for a few years now. Don of the PANO-vision group was actually one of the first Pano-Sabotage artists to start "pano-ing" his desktop screen, and has often produced some very unique work with this method. Recently, Bill Smith, Paul Ewing and Liz Mack have taken it up with a vengeance with striking results.
"Graph ET 1" is the first finished piece that I created using the same technique the Paul, Bill, Liz and Don use. All of us in "PANO-Vision" learn a lot from each other and each of us makes invaluable contributions to the groups knowledge and technique base by that sharing. In PANO, as well call it for short, it's not about competition. We thrive by sharing. Each of us grows by contributing to an ongoing and easy exchange.
"MonitorPano" is achieved by setting one's cell phone camera on "Pano", clicking it on, while focusing on the desktop monitor and using the other hand to tap the arrow right ( or left ) key to quickly jump from photo to photo while the cell phone hand is pano-sabotaging the whole "pass". Tricky, and it takes some co-ordination, but it can be quite surprising what results.
This image was created for the PANO-Vision Groups Summer Contest, "PANO to the Metal".

For Mosaic Montage Monday theme of Fluid Forms is this montage of the young curled fern frond at the Dale Chihuly Exhibit at the Adelaide Botanic garden and an overlay of flowing lines and dots. Many of Dale Chihuly pieces exhibit flowing curls and curves too indicating fluidity. HMMM
@Fotosöndag: Form kan vara vad som helst. Därför kom jag att fundera på, vilken form som kan vara avgörande för att fylla en funktion. Det första som dök upp var en "gammaldags" blyertspenna som måste formas med hjälp av en pennvässare för att fungera.
The Green Jewel Bug forms non-feeding clusters during hot dry periods especially along creeks, spreading out to feed on many plants from ferns and figs to Lantana when conditions improve. It occurs in tropical and subtropical Australia, extending as far south as Wollongong in New South Wales. Length 9 to 14 mm. The Green Jewel Bug is extremely variable in coloration, ranging from metallic green to purplish-blue. Some specimens have an orange stripe across the shield-like scutellum.

We were driving and saw this phenomenal cloud- but it looked like a mushroom cloud! I have to admit I was somewhat fearful at first, even with the beauty of it!
Accompanied by swarms of hungry mosquitoes, my husband and I hiked up what essentially is a gigantic sand dune of a cinder cone to witness sunrise. With vivid reds and oranges, surrounded by black lava rock and dotted with Jeffrey Pines, the otherworldly Painted Hills in Lassen Volcanic National Park are formed from oxidized volcanic ash, and truly are a work of Mother Nature’s art. I deviated from my usual editing style to bring out the dark shadows and drama of this magical moment.
J'ai pris ces photos un matin, à 5h40, lorsque le soleil se levait..
I took these pictures a morning at 5:40am, during the sunrise

I took a photo of our grandson, his fiancée hands forming a heart around Lydia's tiny feet.
Thanking you in advance for any visits, comments or faves as I may not always get back to you in a timely fashion. Just know they are all appreciated.
About a thousand years ago, Native Americans of the Fremont Culture occupied the area now designated as Dinosaur National Monument, which straddles the Utah-Colorado state boundary.

Duck is the common name for numerous species of waterfowl in the family Anatidae. Ducks are generally smaller and shorter-necked than swans and geese, which are members of the same family. Divided among several subfamilies, they are a form taxon; they do not represent a monophyletic group (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species), since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.
This image shows Glasgow's weather in characteristic form to complete my west coast photo essay. As with the first of these images ( flic.kr/p/2qBbvJc ), this shot captures the essence of this station for me: in Glasgow’s case, busy, populated with exotic trains (from the perspective of a Sassenach), and raining!
The date is Wednesday, 28th March 1984 and an APT set waits to head south on what is likely to be the 0900 relief to Euston. The crowd of gentlemen striding towards the ticket barriers, many of who are lacking in appropriate outdoor attire, are presumably not railway enthusiasts given their lack of interest in the future of travel nor the distinctly Scottish class 27 to the left of the frame.
Unlike London Euston, Glasgow Central still has the grandeur and heritage of the Victorian era. While Euston’s period pieces were swept away in the white heat of 1960s progress, Glasgow Central has been sympathetically restored and, despite the rain, feels like a hospitable station appropriate for a great city.
Glasgow Central was not the original station for the west coast route in the city. The Caledonian Railway originally used the Townhead terminus, 1.5 miles to the northeast, then in November 1849, the new station of Buchanan Street was used. Growth led to the opening of Glasgow Central in 1879, immediately north of the river Clyde that the railway follows for the last 45 miles of its journey from London.
I trust that those that have followed my photo essay have enjoyed the ride. The west coast route is so varied and so long that it has been very easy to find disparate images from my collection. Selecting images for this essay has been challenging: I have been shooting trains on the route since the 1980s, and in the 21st century I still manage perhaps 30-40 images of the line every year. Furthermore, since I started collecting other photographer's images, it seems that the line was popular for others too!

A sunset capture form El. Franco Lee Park that never made its way into the photostream. Hopefully, a few warm clouds will brighten and warm your spirit for the day.
We spent that morning getting blanketed by a rare snow storm that left everything under a sheet of white. The snowfall stopped before noon and a majority of the snow is gone from the roadways. Those roadways could be quite treacherous this evening as the temperatures drop to 19ᴼF overnight. I know that some in the north will give a chuckle and say that they deal with temperatures like this on a daily basis, but we can go three or four years at a time before the temperatures drop below the freezing point here in the Houston area. Our infrastructure is just not set up to handle situations like this and so, it’s a bit of a challenge over the next 14 to 16 hours before eh temperatures get above freezing. We’ll be above freezing by 10 am tomorrow and everything should return to normal after that.
I did venture out to take some photos, but have not looked at those photos, but I am not noted for my snowscapes and am not certain that any will be posted. Just hoping that everyone stays save and warm from Texas to Florida.
Just a footnote about the decorative birds on the observation platform, they are not real, but are a part of the decorative handrail on the platform.
