Thank you for the visit. I will be seeing you shortly.
We have a snowy day full of winter beauty today.
Moss on the Roof growing well in the shade and moisture outside, and on the East side as well, shot in North Carolina.
... moisture laden summer clouds, seemingly on fire with the intensity of the light, when a plume of rain drops... ...maybe falls on someone, it will be notated " a sudden, intense yet brief storm at sunset. " true, but where's the poetry in that ...
Simply the best time to photograph bokeh - after the rain and in the sunshine AND through my Tamarisk tree.
In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol comprising a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or particles suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. The droplets and crystals may be made of water or various chemicals. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. They are seen in the Earth's homosphere (which includes the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere). Nephology is the science of clouds which is undertaken in the cloud physics branch of meteorology.
There are two methods of naming clouds in their respective layers of the atmosphere; Latin and common. Cloud types in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adaptation of Luke Howard's nomenclature. Formally proposed in 1802, it became the basis of a modern international system that divides clouds into five physical forms that appear in any or all of three altitude levels (formerly known as étages). These physical types, in approximate ascending order of convective activity, include stratiform sheets, cirriform wisps and patches, stratocumuliform layers (mainly structured as rolls, ripples, and patches), cumuliform heaps, and very large cumulonimbiform heaps that often show complex structure. The physical forms are divided by altitude level into ten basic genus-types. The Latin names for applicable high-level genera carry a cirro- prefix, and an alto- prefix is added to the names of the mid-level genus-types. Most of the genera can be subdivided into species and further subdivided into varieties.
Two cirriform clouds that form higher up in the stratosphere and mesosphere have common names for their main types. They are seen infrequently, mostly in the polar regions of Earth. Clouds have been observed in the atmospheres of other planets and moons in the Solar System and beyond. However, due to their different temperature characteristics, they are often composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid as well as water.
Taken as a whole, homospheric clouds can be cross-classified by form and level to derive the ten tropospheric genera and the two additional major types above the troposphere. The cumulus genus includes three species that indicate vertical size. Clouds with sufficient vertical extent to occupy more than one altitude level are officially classified as low- or mid-level according to the altitude range at which each initially forms. However they are also more informally classified as multi-level or vertical.

Late day sunlight sneaks into the scene just before sunset captured there from Cadillac Mountain in Maine. Liked the exposed water on the rocks that was reflecting that sunlight. The mix of that light on the rocks, textures, and lichen was pretty amazing to take all in.
As a photographer you take photos because you are recording what your eye is seeing at the time and for me I use this medium as an art form, and from time to time I get goose bumps when I look through the view finder and see something out of the ordinary, and this is one of those shots.
I took this one this morning at around 7.00am my first sunrise outing for some time and to come back with this kind of shot made it all worth while, it even shows up some cobweb strands, and I just LOVE that water droplet at the tip of that thorn! Please let me know what you think of it!!
Spring arrives but Tom departs this Earth - Another sad loss to covid-19 (Shame about what happened in 2023)
The genus Phyllomedusa is commonly known as the Waxy Monkey Tree Frogs, notable for their wax secreting glands on their back elbows and rump. This wax is secreted then rubbed all over the body, sealing in moisture and allowing these tree frogs to take advantage of drier conditions than other amphibians.
Droplets of moisture dangle from an Eastern Redbud branchlet following a winter rain.

The hills are a bit dry. No significant rain in a year. It will snow soon, so the remaining flora will at least have moisture.
Capturing the winter roses along the Rose District in Broken Arrow. Yes, captured on 12/21/2021 and that is a lot of 2s and 1s in a date hand.

looks like it'll be a few more days before we can safely leave the house....frozen sleet covering everything....almost fell twice going out to the streetside mail box......results after 3 hours of melting.
Mayflies dance around the shrubs and the air is heavy with moisture despite the lack of clouds. There is no doubt spring is here.

Just to reassure friends we don't have blazing sun all summer though our farmers are suffering a drought away from the coastal rain.
"Native Turmeric (also called the “Cape York lily”) is a moisture-loving flowering ginger, native to northern Australia. It is the only native Australian Curcuma plant out of over 100 or more species around the world. It featured as a roast root vegetable in Guugu Yimithirr Aboriginal cuisine. Native Turmeric occurs naturally on Cape York Peninsula (QLD), in the Northern Territory, and in Papua New Guinea, typically in wet woodland and forest areas, and in moist pockets across sandstone regions.
This species puts on a spectacular flowering from November to March in tropical/subtropical regions, producing tall, showy flower spikes bearing pink or red bracts and white or yellow buds." tuckerbush.com.au/native-turmeric-curcuma-australasica/
"Curcuma bloom in summer or sometimes fall, depending on the variety and the length of your growing season. Showy blossoms appear on the plant's lengthy stems, along with very long, lance-shaped leaves that resemble a canna lily. The leaves can be green, variegated, or have a central red stripe and grow from 18 to 40 inches long. This herbaceous perennial grows rapidly during monsoon season in its native habitat, and then goes dormant during the dry winter." www.southernliving.com/garden/plants/curcuma-plant
