I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had missed a few of the other tornados that afternoon in Northern Yuma County. Coming from south to north I had to position myself correctly. Chaser Convergence was also in full swing so there were not may open areas to choose from.
For best pics of a Tornado and to be safe about it a storm such as this was moving North by Northeast... strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... Behind the RFD (Rear Flank Downdraft) It's all about timing, and I honestly didn't think it would produce a tornado til it was well west of my location. That was going to be the wrong guess... Though when I went due north of Wray I had a good viewing point but not in the safest location as you see.
I got lucky this day as...In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.
Staying as safe as I could I wouldn't bail till it was about a mile away then I would head north again to a safer / better viewing position.

Greetings Everyone, I haven't posted many new pics since last chase season and the 2020 Severe Weather Season is upon us. Looking for our first set of storms in the coming weeks and I'll be streaming live and of course some of the best storm photography one could ask for.
2020 Update...I've been revamping how I do things. One of those things is to go back and correct how I did my post processing of images. Several Years of over Colorizing over Saturation Adding color... etc. Yes I'm guilty of doing so and I have been going back and replacing thousands of images in hundreds of sets over these past few months here on Flickr my Fine Arts America Site.
The May 7, 2016 Colorado Tornado Event was by far one of my favorite chase days to date. I was able to capture the full genesis of a tornado. From birth to death. It was a quest of mine to do this in a photography medium. Epic severe weather structure, like once in a lifetime structure to capture. But post processing was a nightmare. The images came out well ... Defined but over colored over saturated etc.
Instead of replacing the images this will be a whole new set with a few hundred new images that I didn't post on the original set back in 2016. I've thought about re-editing these images for a long time and they are finally done. No Altercations what so ever. No Added Light, Color, Contrast.
I've brought them directly from RAW. Simply the way I should have done it in the first place!

This is one of the Arctic Tern parents hovering above my head, warning me to stay away from the babies.
Despite its dishelved look, this EC-121K still looks great. Saved by the Yankee Air Museum, at the request of the US Navy, when the Chanute museum closed in 2015, it will be fully restored and exhibited in the museum's new hanger at Willow Run. The aircraft, S/N 4435 B/N 141311, was delivered in 1956 to VW13 at Patuxent River where it served until 1965. It was then off over to Pt. Mugu, California, where it flew missile tracking flights until its retirement in 1979. In 1983 it was flown into Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, Illinois and was displayed at the museum until its closure.
Une photo prise du bord de la route, un gros vol de grues est passé au dessus de ma voiture et je n'ai pu me garer qu'imparfaitement en mettant les warning .....L'APN étant toujours présent sur le siège passager, le choix du cadre est aléatoire !
Warning
Jenny Joseph
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people’s gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Instead of High Surf warning, it should be Men Wearing Banana Hammock. Which is the first thing we saw as we walked in. This was taken at Hanalei Bay. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanalei_Bay I will be slowly coming back on line next week. Until then, peace. B
Found inside a Peugeot 206...
It reads:
"Mr. Thief
Please don't open my car anymore, cause if you think that after 10 times I would actually have something inside - I'd be dumb!
Thank you"
Memorable...
Eternal goodness waits for you
or eternal sadness
be then fair or crumble

River may be subject to rapid fluctuations!
There really was a sign posted right near me that said this! Judging from the poor canoe, those fluctuations must've caused some havoc!
This image was taken near the Onieda Narrows Road that runs along the Bear River in Idaho.

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!
I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...
I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.
Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.
In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.

A Cooper's hawk spotted a pair of shorebirds on the beach and launched itself after them.
He captured one and held on with a death grip.
Ultimately it flew off with his meal.
Rondeau Bay.
Accipiter cooperii
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.
