Mammatus clouds over Springfield — We’ve had some weird weather lately. I heard about a house being hit by three tornadoes in the past month (around 30 miles from us). This week, we were on the edge of a storm that, according to the radar, was dumping twenty-five inches of rain per hour. +2
Harbinger — The yellow light at sunset is a warning of the incoming storm.
Backpacking gear to the rescue — Making breakfast and charging my phone while the power is out. We were lucky, we only went without power for 21 hours. +1
R&R by the lake — It’s time I took a short break, watched the lake for a while, did some navel-gazing, and maybe some journaling. The trouble is the weather has been beastly hot. It may be my imagination, but it certainly seems to be my experience that exercise combined with high temps triggers my AFIB. So, thoughts of taking a few days by the lake have been put on the back burner.
Storm clouds over Ozark – checking on the radar, the storm was nine miles away over Ozark.
Morning mist on Table Rock Lake – I wasn’t totally surprised to find mist drifting down from Piney Creek when I woke up. I ‘d seen the same thing happen in much colder conditions in January. I checked the water temperature and it was still warm(-ish) so I had a swim. Who could tun down such an opportunity? Piney Creek Wilderness – Day Three. 2 pictures

Can’t Wait for Friday … The forecast says it’ll be 59°.
One of the very first photographs I took when I bought my first digital camera. I’ve always liked this image, when I decided to re-visit the picture I also produced this black and white version. Fawley Oil Refinery, Southampton Water, Hampshire, UK.
Overnight is snowed 6″-9″ and Church has been cancelled so we’re having a quiet snow day. Lanie made breakfast, and I popped out very briefly to take an obligatory snow picture.
It’s looking pretty out the front today. First school day of 2014 and we had an inch or so of snow overnight. Looks nice but it’s jolly cold.
Snow – It’s been snowing so Ginger sent me out to take pictures of the Bottle Trees. 7 pictures
I know the weather in the Ozarks is variable, but…
Storm Clearing. Not long after we’d set up camp at Big Bay Campground on Table Rock Lake some storms rolled in.
Rainy Days and Mondays… Not that it got me down. But it is Monday, and it was raining. Bright sunshine now; I really ought to get out more.
