Storm Chasing Video from night on Flickr Click Here
A few hours after sunset the first of the storms were entering our area from the due south southwest. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that this storm was gaining strength as if crept slowly ever so closer.
The amount of cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning was excessive. Excessive & Impressive. The video from this night says it all.
Enjoy these captures from this evening. Some of the best lightning I've caught in YEARS!

It amazes me to think that the subtle, slow moving and constant forces of nature are seemingly always at work. Take an old railway track like this one where the force of nature has bent and changed the shape of this railway track. Simply Amazing.

Some flowers have the ability to draw me closer and closer while I focus on their petals. It isn't until later that I notice such sharp edges to the petals.

Surf Safety Matters - As tempting as the beaches look, surf safety is something we can’t afford to ignore. Some of the latest stats from Royal Surf Lifesaving Australia (2024) really hit home for me.
Some key stats from last year:
* 323 drowning deaths in Australia (with a population of just 27M)
* 30% were 65 years or older
* 86% of coastal drownings were male
* Coastal areas saw the most drownings, followed by inland waterways & swimming pools (half in backyard pools)
* Over half of coastal drownings happened more than 1km away from any surf lifesaving service
These numbers are more than just statistics though - they represent real people with families, friends, and lives. Fellow humans. Each one is a tragedy.
As a 65+ male who spends a lot of time exploring remote coastal areas, quite often alone (& swimming with no SLS services for km's), these numbers hit close to home. A sobering reminder that nature is powerful and can never be underestimated.
The message is simple. Stay aware, stay safe, and respect the water. That could apply to anyone anywhere, just replace "water" with "nature"!
Wishing everyone a safe and mindful week! Thanks for your comments, they are always greatly appreciated! 😊

This wiry fence is doing its best to keep people from falling off the cliff overlooking a local waterfall. You can just make out the top of the falls in the background. However, the fence itself is not one I would trust to hold me if I lean on it. It is definitely up to people to respect the boundaries and take caution. We love all the snowshoeing we have been doing this month as we continue to get fresh snowfalls everyday. On this day, the snow was so wet, it was a challenge to keep our gear dry. Happy Fence Friday!

Dark, menacing storm clouds gather over a deserted rural road as a potential tornado forms in the distance. The landscape is illuminated by a faint, eerie light breaking through the overcast sky, adding to the dramatic atmosphere.

The direct stare of a SIka stag commands respect. Native to much of East Asia, the Sika Deer is also known as the 'Spotted' or 'Japanese Deer', 'Shika' being Japanese for 'Deer'. The population in Dorset is believed to have swam here from nearby Brownsea Island. The coat of this male is tending towards the dark grey winter coat rather than the chestnut red with whitish spots of summr.
Thank you all for your kind responses.

Not many pics in this set due to I was driving a good percentage of time. Though what I did witness that afternoon was classic Nebraska Supercell structure!

Ever since our trip west a couple of years ago, I'm fascinated by the history of the prairies and the once endless herds of Buffalo that shaped the area and it's early people. These two are part of a small herd on a local farm. They are considered wild and are such hardy animals that they have no problem in the winter cold. Their coats are heavy enough that body heat will not melt the snow on their backs. Their skin thickens and a layer of fat further insulates against the cold. Even their metabolism slows so they don't have to eat as much and what they do consume stays in the gut longer to extract more nutrients. Those massive heads and shoulders can plow through four feet of snow to get at the grass and energy is conserved by slowing movements or resting more often. They deserve respect!
I do enjoy learning new things each day. Especially as I age gracefully, I love the sentiment of respect your elders. Apparently Magnolia flowers are due some reverence as well.
"Magnolia is an ancient genus. Appearing before bees evolved, the flowers are theorized to have evolved to encourage pollination by beetles. To avoid damage from pollinating beetles, the carpels of Magnolia flowers are extremely tough. Fossilized specimens of M. acuminata have been found dating to 20 million years ago, and fossils of plants identifiably belonging to the Magnoliaceae date to 95 million years ago."
The above can be found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnolia

This is your story too, you just don't want to remember it anymore. When you escaped from Real Life and came here to "Second Life", some of us brought their terrible prejudices here. But those who don't want to join the herd have a few things to say to them.

We had to pack up and move south via Hwy 283 South then Head due east of Hwy 89. This route takes us though Beaver City, Orleans, and eventually just north of Alma Nebraska.
Now just west of Orleans Nebraska. Meso on this storm was getting well defined. Definite rotation and we were under it. Pulled ahead of the storm about 5 to 6 miles to get this next set of jaw dropping images.

I found myself surrounded by the wonderful smell of Lavender at the weekend whilst visiting Somerset Lavender in Faulkland, a lovely place to visit for a Cream Tea and to enjoy the wonderful Flora at the Farm which is known as Horsepond.
Another place and photograph off the bucket list, not to say I wont return for a better shot though! :)

A view of the lower section of the falls flowing under that well-placed bridge.
"Multnomah Falls is the most visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest with more than 2 million stopping by each year to take in the views. Fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain, the flow over the falls varies, but is usually highest during winter and spring. This is also one of the best places in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area to study geology exposed by floods." fs.usda.gov
"The Multnomah people received their name from their chief. Yet, the existence of their great chief named Multnomah has been up for debate. Other Native American tribes in the Columbia River Valley area spoke of him in their oral history, while Oregon historians dismissed him as just a myth. Therefore, there is conflicting evidence of whether or not he was real. However, on top of the oral descriptions of him there were writings including newspapers and journals, which indicate he was indeed real.
Multnomah was chief of tribes ranging much of the Pacific Northwest from Oregon to Canada, and during his 40 years of power he was chief of the Willamettes, as well as war chief of the tribes, ruling from his station on what is known today as Sauvie Island.
Ann Fulton, a history professor at Portland State University, found and collected much of what is known of Chief Multnomah from many written stories. She documented this in her paper The Restoration of an Iłkák'mana: A Chief Called Multnomah. She hoped to bring more awareness to his existence. Particular accounts came from people such as William Tappan and Dr. Elijah White, both agents of Indian tribes. The many verbal and written accounts of Chief Multnomah were similar. He was regarded highly, and many stated that while he was a warrior chief, he was very respected among his people.
It is believed that the end of Chief Multnomah's reign occurred with the eruption of Mount Hood during the 1780s. Later in 1805 when Lewis and Clark reached Sauvie Island they wrote of the “mulknomah” people. This referenced Chief Multnomah, as well as the group of tribes that made up his people." Wikipedia
Enjoy this last Sunday of October!
Getting spooky tomorrow.
Canadian Remembrance Day is celebrated yearly on November 11 which is the day World War I ended. It is an opportunity to reflect on those who have served or are serving in the military, especially those who have died in service to their country. There are many uniforms to be seen at Remembrance Day events across the country.
