04/02/24 TORNADO WARNING blasted us awake at 2am and we spent the next hour in our built-in storm shelter. LOTS of noise and lightning, but only a few sprinkles and no damage to us. In fact we got less than .01 inches of rain out of the storm. Hoping other areas got more rain, but not any storm damage. One thing is for sure - the air has been swept CLEAN of recent smoke and we can breathe a lot easier now for a day or two - YIPPIE!

04/03/24 My alarm went off at 1:30 this morning and I spent several hours practice taking Milky Way photos (sample above - unedited - this is called "The Dark Horse" and is one part of the Milky Way that I enjoy trying to capture). A rentless wind we've had the past couple of days finally laid down and I think I got a couple of stars in focus (WIND is not good for doing 4-minute-long exposures of the stars - they turn into WOBBLY stars as my equipment blows around during the exposure - the glowing stars in this photo are supposed to glow thouugh). When I crawled out of the camper van in the garagge after a couple hours of sleep it looked like the landscape had all of a sudden POPPED into SPRING - a majority of the big trees are beginning to leaf out - WATCH OUT for clouds of pollen the next few weeks!

04/05/24 Another 1:30 wakeup call for me today and a few frantic hours of trying to capture the Milky - this time over at this wonderful place - Wilderness Rider Buffalo Ranch and Adventure Park (well worth the $10 entry fee, especially for the scenery and WATERFALLS!). My star pick didn't work very well, but I did get a great photo on the way home juust after sunrise.

040724 A beautiful sunrise today from the back yard - LOTS of wind though...!

04/08/24 This is a quiet moment at Pam's swing as the day began - this is our neighbor's pasture - all the cows must be on the other side of the hill.
