A series of storms is blowing in following what has been an abnormally dry January. We need the wind, the rain, the clouds.

Cynomys ludovicianus (Ord, 1815) - black-tailed prairie dog in South Dakota, USA (August 2010).
Mammals are the dominant group of terrestrial vertebrates on Earth today. The group is defined based on a combination of features: endothermic (= warm-blooded), air-breathing, body hair, mother's milk, four-chambered heart, large brain-to-body mass ratio, two teeth generations, differentiated dentition, and a single lower jawbone. Almost all modern mammals have live birth - exceptions are the duck-billed platypus and the echidna, both of which lay eggs.
Mammals first appear in the Triassic fossil record - they evolved from the therapsids (mammal-like reptiles). Mammals were mostly small and a minor component of terrestrial ecosystems during the Mesozoic. After the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction at 65 million years ago, the mammals underwent a significant adaptive radiation - most modern mammal groups first appeared during this radiation in the early Cenozoic (Paleocene and Eocene).
Three groups of mammals exist in the Holocene - placentals, marsupials, and monotremes. Other groups, now extinct, were present during the Mesozoic.
The black-tailed prairie dog is native to America's Great Plains and small portions of adjacent Canada and Mexico.

Not a typical summer day. It is still summer, but not sure why wind blows only at daytime?!
This wind turbine is made primarily to observe how much wind we have here during certain period of time.
If here is enough wind, then it is cost-effective to build serious one.
If not... well, it has still some use, but only small, low cost wind turbine.
This weed blowing in the wind attracted my interest so I shot slow without a tripod holding my cam close. Fisheye lens and I pushed the geometric distortion even further in CS6 to fit the 1:1 frame and stretch limits of my little unfocused weed.
My first black and white shot ever. In Nathan Phillips Square, saw this child sitting with her mom. Sun was coming from the right and behind the girl. Wind just happened to blow in her face and she turned away and I snapped that shot.
The lady in the foreground - hmm not to sure if its a good thing or not...I personally like it.

Cone-shaped Wind Mountain (581 m or 1906 feet), in the Columbia Gorge just east of Carson, WA, can be climbed via a well-used trail. Wind Mountain and nearby Dog Mountain have spectacular wildflower displays in early summer. The mouth of the Wind River is in the foreground.

This was an example of wind power that could be harnessed.
Please leave a comment I do appreciate them and lets me know what people think. I have so many photos and almost no comments. It also lets me know what pictures are best.
A gust of wind from our big storm Saturday, October 25, 2014, literally punched a hole in the wall of this abandoned building fronting on U.S. Highway 101 in Port Orford, Curry County, Oregon. Winds up to 94 mph hit our area and did significant damage to our commercial dock. Initial estimates are at $400,000 in damage to the dock and its facilities.
A wind farm or wind park is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce energy. A large wind farm may consist of several hundred individual wind turbines and cover an extended area of hundreds of square miles, but the land between the turbines may be used for agricultural or other purposes. A wind farm can also be located offshore.
...wind!
“I believe in going with the flow. I don't believe in fighting against the flow. You ride on your river and you go with the tides and the flow. But it has to be your river, not someone else's. Everyone has their own river, and you don't need to swim, float, sail on their's, but you need to be in your own river and you need to go with it. And I don't believe in fighting the wind. You go and you fly with your wind. Let everyone else catch their own gusts of wind and let them fly with their own gusts of wind, and you go and you fly with yours.”
