The St. Joseph River is still now, but the effects of strong winds are seen on the railings of the North Pier.
original painting Storm Warning by Artist Ruth Hunter; medium: oil and cold wax on panel; artwork size: 12x12" (framed)
Imagine sunrise in the Okavango Delta, leaving the enchanting Jacana Camp in a small boat, still almost dark, floating through a small path through the whispering reeds and waterlilies.
All of a sudden a enormous splash next to the boat and the ranger whispers "Hippo.. big one!". The very next second the water is calm again, but you know the big animal is somewhere under the surface . Your heart starts racing and you can't help holding your breath. Where will it emerge!
I went down as flat as I could, meanwhile adjusting the camera to the best I could, given the very poor lighting conditions. With the surface of the water covered in waterlily leaves I had no clue as to where it could be.
And then.... only 5 or 6 meters from the boat, about where my camera was aimed, his massive bulk jumped high out of the water with a heartstopping splash. I nearly jumped out of the boat, but not before I pressed that shutter-button! :-)
The result was this full-frame image. Certainly too close for comfort and almost too close for the lens, but I'm not complaining.
Needless to say that we took his warning seriously and left him in peace. But it sure took a while before my heart rate was back to normal.

This sign is adorning the private parking lot of a building in |yallup (more commonly known as Puyallup), in Washington State. I don't know whether it was the intent of the building owner to provide us with a riddle in addition to putting us on notice, or whether this sign and its similarly abbreviated twin has been visited by a demon barber with a chain saw, but it certainly is attention getting. Maybe the warning is so familiar to us all by now that the warners just need to "hum a few bars" and we'll all quickly sing the whole tune.
A helpful and considerate cautionary note for people new to the Sonoran desert environment that they should carry water with them. This is a result of the high number of emergency calls due to dehydration in the canyon each year.

Storm Warnings
The glass has been falling all the afternoon,
And knowing better than the instrument
What winds are walking overhead, what zone
Of grey unrest is moving across the land,
I leave the book upon a pillowed chair
And walk from window to closed window, watching
Boughs strain against the sky
And think again, as often when the air
Moves inward toward a silent core of waiting,
How with a single purpose time has traveled
By secret currents of the undiscerned
Into this polar realm. Weather abroad
And weather in the heart alike come on
Regardless of prediction.
Between foreseeing and averting change
Lies all the mastery of elements
Which clocks and weatherglasses cannot alter.
Time in the hand is not control of time,
Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
We can only close the shutters.
I draw the curtains as the sky goes black
And set a match to candles sheathed in glass
Against the keyhole draught, the insistent whine
Of weather through the unsealed aperture.
This is our sole defense against the season;
These are the things we have learned to do
Who live in troubled regions.
-Adrienne Rich
I'm sitting at work on Monday and I notice that it is getting darker outside. I figured it was going to rain, so I didn't pay it any more attention. Well it got a lot darker and I looked out the wondow and it was looking a bit nasty so I quickly went to www.wixt.com our news channel to look at the radar to see what was going on. In red right up at the top of the page was TORNADO WARNING. I know the difference between watch and warning adn all we have ever really gotten up here were watches, which means that the conditions are favorable to produce a tornado. THe warning means that something is up and you need to keep your eye to sky and pay attention to your surroundings because one is trying to form or one has already formed and is on the ground.
I quickly went over to the weather channel website and got more details. It was telling me that at 2:50 this storm would be right where I was. The time was 2:45. All I wanted to do was to get home to my house and my kids. School dismissal is at 2:50. I fly out the door at work, jump in the van, pull to the end of the driveway away from all the trees and come face to face with this lovely wall cloud. I'm telling you I almost wet my pants. Since I only live 5 miles away I figured I would get home rather quickly. Well I thought wrong. About a mile away from work I started getting pounded by hail that was the size of half dollars. It was so loud inside my van. The intensity and the loudness was just insane. The whole lasted for about 5 minutes but I swear it was the longest 5 minutes of my life. No tornado actually touched down, but it tried forming several times out of this wall cloud. This shows the time elapsed photography from our news website:

(09/366) Dangerous things those cemeteries! Taken on a very dull day so I processed this with my iPhone's Pro-HDR App "antique" filter. HSS!
A day out at one of our favourite trail centres - Coed Llandegla, near Wrexham. It starts with a 3 mile steady climb, a bit of red trail and then this! The start of the black trails. We've never read this before so...
Miles of sheer joy with jumps and hairpins galore. Oh, and those killer climbs the warning board mentioned. Ouch!
This warning sign is located at a distance from abandoned factory buildings and just a few dozen yards from an occupied residential neighborhood. Much of the adjoining properties covering many acres near derelict asbestos manufacturing facilities in Ambler, PA, have been fenced-off and demarcated with such cautionary signage.
Not so certain though that airborne asbestos fibers would abide by such boundaries.

This bull elk was pawing, snorting and warning an incoming bull that he wasn't into sharing his harum. He was bigger and better equipped. The other bull wisely took notice and tried his luck elsewhere.
Nature is so entertaining huh?
Thanks for taking a look and for any comments, faves or suggestions. Always appreciated.

I went for a walk in the rain and then, magically, the sun broke through a crack in the clouds and there was the most heavenly light, it was a gift :)
