Towards the end of the afternoon, the fire made its way into town. The black specs going across the video are ash from the fire blowing in. This was when I started leaving my truck running and facing the escape route.

Took a stroll in downtown Des Moines, and came across this unique display from the Nightingale Cocktail Lounge. The logo on the sidewalk was a projection that rotated - I had to time the picture just right.

When your life is crashing down.. but you're a photographer and use your art as a crutch to help you get through.

They make finding tornadoes so easy these days. When I was a young chaser you had no idea which gate the tornado would be at.

Got a faint aurora glow to the left of the picture (north direction), but the Little Dipper and a meteor were caught in the shot facing east.

I was able to finally get out and get some last minute fall foliage pictures. Partly overcast skies made it a small challenge, but I still managed.

Look at this perfect little snowflake! βοΈ I was on a burning mission, tearing across the landscape to find the nearest bathroom not winterized at a state park. But once this fell on my sleeve, I had to stop for a photo.

Calling all aurora chasers! If you see the Lights tonight, please make a participatory science report to aurorasaurus.org. By providing ground truth data, you can help scientists answer questions and improve models. If yu try and are not able to see aurora, making a negative no report also helps! Make a participatory science report to Aurorasaurus: let's light up the map!
Just in from Aurorasaurus.org! ππ

I was reminded of this deep piece of art work from 2021. It was written shortly after escaping long term narcissistic abuse and helped kickstart the healing process.

And here we have a wild Boog in its natural habitat - stalking the recycling truck.. waiting for the opportune moment to pounce.
