It's a localized "Superbloom", but if you get in the right area, it is simply amazing. This particular area has several square miles of color. Mostly what you see at first is the Desert Gold, but if you get into it and look around, you will find many other species represented. If you want to see it, you need to be there NOW; some of these were already showing signs of fading last weekend. Absent any more rain, this as probably as good as it gets this year.
An oddly localized windstorm has recently cleared out some of the growth around the viaduct across Ship Pond Stream at MP 17.2 on CP's Moosehead Sub; while it isn't as open as it has been in the past, it is once again possible to shoot from 'railfan rock' without having the view of the trestle obscured by trees.
Yesterday the weather started to look quite promising with some very localized mist floating around the Auchterarder area so I headed out with camera to try my hand at some opportunistic photography, this is something I now rare try as more often than not I come back with nothing but last night I came come with two or three images that I think are possibles.
I think there will be banding when this uploads but definitely none on my pc so it will be courtesy of uploading
Hope you like the subtleties of this. Very little processing required just some balancing of tonal ranges in the sky.
Looking for Princess

Description: He is looking for a Princess and thinks that she is probably on one of those ships. The truth will be cruel for him.
Data from the CRISM instrument shows a localized, unique spectral phase consistent with polyhydrated sulfate or zeolite here on the Mawrth Vallis channel floor, with implications for the regional history. We want to look for potential textural differences between new hydrated mineral and adjacent clays.

A very localized rain shower over San Francisco Bay approaches Berkeley. I don't recall ever seeing any weather system quite this well defined over the Bay from up in the hills, where this photo was taken.
Several minutes later it started to pour....

Last night fog moved back in from the east across Rapid City. However it was very localized in the evening. This is the westside looking at the Baken Park area.
Tight, localized rain showers blow inland from the Pacific toward the Makapu’u lighthouse on the easternmost point of the island of Oahu.
I miss being outdoors.
The Sonoran Desert as currently defined covers approximately 100,000 square miles (260,000 sq. km.) and includes most of the southern half of Arizona, southeastern California, most of the Baja California peninsula, the islands of the Gulf of California, and much of the state of Sonora, Mexico. It is lush in comparison to most other deserts. Two visually dominant life forms of plants distinguish the Sonoran Desert from the other North American deserts: legume trees and columnar cacti. It also supports many other life forms encompassing a rich spectrum of some 2,000 species of plants.
The amount and seasonality of rainfall are defining characteristics of the Sonoran Desert. Much of the area has a biseasonal rainfall pattern, though even during the rainy seasons most days are sunny. From December to March frontal storms from North Pacific Ocean occasionally bring widespread, gentle rain to the northwestern areas. From July to mid-September, the summer monsoon brings surges of wet tropical air and frequent but localized violent thunderstorms.
The Sonoran Desert prominently differs from the other three North American Deserts in having mild winters; most of the area rarely experiences frost. About half of the biota is tropical in origin, with life cycles attuned to the brief summer rainy season. The winter rains, when ample, produce huge populations of annuals (which comprise half of the species in our flora).

Great Egret populations increased acorss most of their range from 1966 to 2010 according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey, though there appears to have been a decline in Canadian populations. More than 95 percent of the Great Egrets in North America were killed for their plumes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Plume-hunting was banned, for the most part, around 1910, and Great Egret populations quickly began to recover. Since the 1930s, the egrets have had to contend with major habitat loss and degradation, as well as threats like contaminated runoff from farm fields or sewage treatment. However, their populations appear stable. Compared to other egrets and herons, Great Egrets seem to be unfazed by habitat loss on a localized scale, even in extremely altered landscapes like the Everglades.
Some of you may have heard of the storm we experienced two mornings ago. It was highly localized, geographically hitting my area exclusively, and was the most powerful I've ever experienced. Winds of 80 mph, hail, and torrential rains pounded the area for a full hour in a notable display of nature's power and fury. We lost power for 28 hours and the damage was tremendous, primarily to the trees, and the sound of chain saws will be filling the air for some time to come as the roads continue to be cleared and the "leaners" removed. Boats were tossed and docks twisted, some homes being damaged by the falling trees, but I happily escaped, with only the branches and layers of leaves scattered thickly around the house to clean up.
On my surveillance, I met an older woman who said in the 50 years she's lived here, she's never seen anything like it. It seems that lately, there are many events that no one has previously seen...like temperatures and snow amounts. As my friend Rich Eye says, "global weirding" for sure.
I could fill an album with the photos I took yesterday recording the devastation but don't want to take up days in presenting it. I tried a collage and that didn't work so I'm left with the unhappy small images in comments. I really hate this as the photos are actually better than they appear, but I hope they provide at least some feel for the experience. And today, the sun shines, the loons call, the birds sing...and all is once again right with the world...
The tritons were quite well hidden in the little pound. It was not easy to localize and photograph them.

An example of an asbestos containing pipe insulation material with localized physical damage. This material consists of a non-asbestos canvas outer wrap; 3-layers of brown, non-asbestos corrugated paper; and a light beige inner asbestos paper layer against the pipe surface (35% chrysotile).
This material appears as though it was subjected to a "spot-check" by probable metal salvager(s) (or "scrapper") looking for copper. In fact, numerous similar rips and tears in damaged pipe insulation were found throughout this particular debris-ridden building. As economic times worsen, certain depressed developments of large urban areas often contain abandoned buildings that are infiltrated by individuals searching for copper pipes, cables, wiring, roof flashing or other types of recyclable metals for scrap-value.

The brown knapweed is a very common perennial plant in Europe.
It has many localized subspecies, as this one, which I could not really determine.

(Haemorhous mexicanus) I can't localize sounds, like bird songs, well any more, with the artefact introduced by two hearing aids, but this bold boy was advertising his eligible mating status from high in a bare tree, so he was easy to spot. Exactly as he intended, I'm sure.

A heat burst is a rare meteorological phenomenon where a sudden, localized increase in temperature occurs, often accompanied by strong, gusty winds and a rapid drop in humidity. It typically happens at night or in the early morning when a dying thunderstorm's downdraft collapses, forcing warm, dry air from aloft to rush downward to the surface. This compresses the air, causing it to heat up significantly—sometimes by 10-20°F (5-10°C) or more in minutes.
Between 8:38PM and 9:38PM (the last 10 secs of this clip), the temperature rose from 68.9F to 77.5F and the relative humidity fell from 42% to 24% as gusty winds dominated. The strong rain shafts forming is when this weather event occurred.
We watched this storm cloud build and work the upper valley. It was quite beautiful and dramatic. Snow squalls raced over the ridges and fell into the valley floor.... Wonderful crazy weather. Methow Valley, Wa

Dieffenbachia
Also known as Dumb Cane or Mother-in-law's-tongue, this common tropical house plant contains toxins which may be harmful for pets or small children. Chewing on the leaves or stems causes extreme pain in the mouth and throat, excessive salivation, intense numbing of the tongue, and localized swelling. These effects are rarely life-threatening but in rare cases severe swelling of the throat may lead to strangulation.

Today was day 3 of periodic storms...it was so pleasant most of the day that i got a call from my dear friends Butch and Joyce to go out to lunch and then walk the beach to look for sea glass. We had a beautiful afternoon sea glass searching and walking. At about 3:30 we went our separate ways. I decided to stop at a beach a little closer to my house because the clouds were so pretty and i thought....just a few more pictures!!
I suppose i should pay more attention to what is on the other side of the dunes instead of the ocean! This storm approached and was heading to the north east so i stayed to watch and hopefully get some nice storm shots. Suffice it to say i was so enthralled with THIS view that i did not watch what was approaching behind me! i got caught in the backside of the storm and had to duck under someone’s oceanfront house to wait it out and stay as dry as i could...along with Mark the Third (who is water resistant ...but it is the lens that is not!) I managed to get some nice shots of the storm and fortunately it passed quickly allowing me to get to the car and get home....where within an hour we had round two of stormy weather....it was bright and sunny over the sound and to the south east...but looking out off my front deck the sky was dark and ominous and it was thundering with little flashes of lightning....and over the ocean to the east was a huge, vibrant rainbow!!
I have a new found love! Photographing storms!!
