It has been a few weeks, but … Here are a couple I took this week out my window during breaks in our storms.
Calm Before the Next Storm
Actually, it is a series of storms, progged to hit us every day this week but Thursday, starting late tonight/early tomorrow.
And this gorgeous shot is by Lisa Kleissner.
Thanks for sharing, Lisa!
Atmospheric River
Graphic and great article from Scientific American blog
The flow pattern of the atmospheric river now battering the West Coast is classic. The University of Wisconsin at Madison maintains a terrific Web site that shows the flows in real time, updated every five minutes. A snapshot from last night is below. The dark red swath across the equator is the tropical rain band that is usually present; the atmospheric river is the sweeping jet of water vapor (blue in the image) that shoots off towards the U.S.

The title says it all. Thank you so much, jeff, for being so generous with your art.
So beautiful. What a gift!
Happy Thanksgiving
Most years, I have gone to my friend Jo-Anne’s for Thanksgiving. Today is her last, due to new adventures on her horizon. I am honored to share her friendship. This is how she decorates her table.
May your day be filled with love, laughter, friends and family. Mine is. Blessings to one and all.
On the storm front – Watch the weather reports, while timing and amounts change, all reports indicate this could be fun. Enjoy, but be safe!

Once this goes live, and I can see the birds, I will identify them for you.
Here’s a Big Sur one from my friend Dan Danbom. Sorry, I couldn’t resist!

So, I updated WP, and it is doing all sorts of strange things, as is my iPad, in general. Glad I could post SOMETHING!
