Three Cats, A Dog, and a Camera
Here is an old Welsh Verse about Black Cats I think is cute
"A black cat, Iāve heard it said,
Can charm all ill away,
And keep the house wherein she dwells
From feverās deadly sway."

Under the Mesocyclone
Im estimating this young developing Mesocyclone is 15 miles distant. The image is about 50 miles wide. Relatively small for a Rotating mesocyclone. It was growing at the time. Moving in towards me at that time. Being high on a ridge in a Jeep when one of these rolls over you can get exciting. Iāve done it a few times lol.
Thatās a pretty big lightning bolt about 10 miles away from my location/ The left part of that bolt was miles long certainly. This is a little further out out from me than it appears as it is āzoomed in a bit with a telephoto. Telephotos crush perspective but cover a smaller part of the sky. You the trick is to point the camera at where the lighting flashed last time. Using a wide camera is easy but gives you smaller bolts. A telephoto properly pointed will get you up close and personal. I do use an automatic lightning trigger that will trip the shutter on the flash. I endorse no specific brand .
The sunset for that day is ongoing exactly behind the rain shaft on the right at this captures time. Thusly the bottom of the storm is pretty much backlit as well as your going to see through one. A Thunderstorm sun filterā¦.š¤š I am such an opportunist of a photographer. I use what ever natural light filter that is presentā¦š
There are just plain intense downpours under these storms sometimes. Depending on how fast they are moving makes you lucky or flooded locally lol. These only rain on a few percent of the ground area up here. Spotty! The ground under them becomes totally soaked if the storm doesnāt move.
Location: Bliss DInosaur Ranch, Wyoming/Montana borderlands (Wyotana).
Title: Under the Mesocyclone
Watching Natures Cathedral
I call this kind of sunset with divergent crepuscular rays a āCrown Skyā. The rays reminding me of a royal crown but it is also suggestive of a massive cathedral with a starburst at the focal point. I really donāt see too many of these. Considering the nature the particular environmental conditions necessary to create this.
OK hereās how it work. The light from the sun is passing under the lowest cloud bank just on top of the white disk. That light is stopped by the shape of the puffy bottom of the could surface. This creates a shadow on the clouds toward the camera. You are seeing the shadow invade into the parts of the clouds. The lit up parts of the rays are illuminated by the light passing under that lower cloud bank. . So that clouds bumpy surface profile is reflecting off the cloud deck. There of course also has to be some falling ice crystals (hexagonal plates falling oriented like parachutes) to light up to really make it pop like this. So several things have to be happening at just the right time for this to occur.
Iāve seen these rays pointing upward like this capture as well as a down facing divergent crown. I watch a lot of sunset/sunrises and Iād say these occur at a 1 in 500 rate or so. I have a handful of Crown Sky Captures over my travels.

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.

Worm March Moon Rising
I knew what time and place the moon was to rise but it seemed to take FOREVER for the March 9th rising Supermoon. It was precisely this color. The same phenomena effects the sun. āGolden Hourā and better, the red light passing to the pink/red āBelt of Venusā alpenglow. That projected filtered to red light on the ice in the sky opposite of the sun. Same effect here but on the moon. This just the atmospheric gauntlet of dust, moisture of all phase states, pollution etc block out all but the red light. Lots less yellow in this.
So the āWorm Moon A.K.A. Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Sugar Moon, Sap Moon, Chaste Moon or just the March Full Moon lol.
Of course when the moon OR the sun is apparently this low, you actually seeing the celestial object below the line of sight to the horizon. The image is actually bent around the horizon. The atmospheric lens literally guides the image around the surface to my camera/eye. Getting topography/ hills and a celestial object to cooperate the same time can be challenging. ā¦I know the topography I work pretty well after āworking itā for decades. Knowing the direction the moon is going to set is a matter of looking it up on google. Get a map, (in my head by now) and figure out āwhat two or three thingsā can line up.
I decide where to go early on but am flexible enough to change mid stream because Iām very mobile. Getting around in the snowy hills is a requirement for this job lolol. I never know WHAT the show is going to be when I go out with cameras. I do usually know WHERE an alignment will occur. š
This moon didnāt sneak up on me by any means. Getting up on the high ridges is of course the place to be for such a shot. The backcountry high in the hills provide all the topography and perspective that any photographer could need. Having free access to many square miles of backcountry WY/MT is always a good thing with a camera. Both States in this Photo.. I was lucky the weather cooperated with me as it disappeared into a cloud deck 20 minutes later not to reappear for over a day.

It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.
- William Carlos Williams, poet (17 Sep 1883-1963)
Smile
Music by Charles Chaplin, Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons
Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though itās breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
youāll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youāll see the sun come shining through
for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thatās the time you must keep on trying
Smile whatās the use of crying
Youāll find that life is still worthwhile
If youāll just
Smile

If there were dreams to sell, / What would you buy? / Some cost a passing bell; / Some a light sigh, / That shakes from life's fresh crown / Only a rose-leaf down.

Parks School House Site
This capture caught these two young bucks standing on an old country school site. Bucks still with antlersā¦. (taken in January).
This is section 36 on the map of the local township. Every township has 36 square miles and is mapped by square mile sections. Section 36 is the state owned and controlled School section. Basically the law gives 1/36th of all land to the state automatically. I digress.
The little brown box to the right center of the photo, is the old oil burning stove that used to sit on the Trail Creek/Parks School. Generations of local kids went to school with this view out the back. Iāve heard stories of walking to school from those kids. There are people alive that went to that school. It is physically located about 2 miles south from our homestead as the crow flies. The building that was removed has a few signs it was there.
Other evidence, : the latent archeologist in meā¦
The aforementioned stove itself is an interesting antique. Iāve worked it with cameras but never liked what I got. Iāll get back to it sometime with the right lightā¦ but there are concrete foundations from that old school building, not huge and they looked like they were hand poured. Someone with a small mixer and bags kind of foundationsā¦.say 1930āsā¦.. Those concrete chunks were pushed over the lip of and into a nearby gully where they serve as a rock which are currently being slowly naturalized by the environment. Evidence of past lives and events that will mostly be lost to history but they leave clues. It would be interesting to work this site with a metal detector eh? ā¦

The best theology is probably no theology; just love one another.
- Charles Schulz, cartoonist (26 Nov 1922-2000)
The most erroneous stories are those we think we know best -- and therefore never scrutinize or question.
- Stephen Jay Gould, paleontologist, biologist, and author (10 Sep 1941-2002)
When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for the famed teacher, Diogenes replied: "Only stand out of my light." Perhaps some day we shall know how to heighten creativity. Until then, one of the best things we can do for creative men and women is to stand out of their light.

Belt of Venus across Mesocyclone
The sunset main show over my shoulder is usually yellow (ish) orange or red. This sunset backshow spread across a huge Mesocyclone storm is Pink. This pink band is called the āBelt of Venusā which is often on going behind you watching a sunset. More so up here in the high ridges of the Montana / Wyoming borderlands. It you donāt turn around now and then, you miss this show. This one was fairly hard to miss though lol. These storms can be 100 miles across. Iād say this one is about 100 miles distant from my camera. You can see a LONG ways from the tops of the ridges.
Your actually seeing the pink band (red light) surviving the long trip through the earthās curved atmospherics lens. The Blue Line / Shadow UNDER the Pink is the Shadow of the earths horizon. As the sun sets in this time line, that blue band grows upward covering the storm as the sun drops further below the opposite horizon. The top of the storm is still white as the light that high still has itās blue components unfettered by the atmosphere.
Several image from this particular evening made it through the āsieveā I use to determine which photo to work on. They will work their way into my portfolio with time. Iām about 8 days from taking a photo to publishing the page with the narrative in my current work flow. During this spring Iāve been finishing 4 photos a day. I finished 6 a day most of the winter. I donāt think I can do that to my current standards this winter. We will seeā¦
