Iowa Storm July 28 2023
An amazing storm blew through central Iowa July 28, 2023. The color of the sky is not photohoped. It was such an incredible array of colors and light. I felt like I was under a warm orange glow to the east but if I turned around to the west, the sky was a deep indigo blue. These were taken between 8 pm and 10 pm. As the lighting progressed, there were two and three strikes per second just facing south. But all around me were strikes. hundreds of them per minute. I couldn't even use my lightning trigger as there were too many and it couldn't keep up. so eventually I just manually held down the shutter and took many burst.

Purple Flowers of Iowa
I was out for a drive on this beautiful day when I ran across this field of purple flowers. The nice man in the tractor stopped to tell me about them. For me it was a beautiful field of wildflowers, but for him it was lost revenue as the area is a bog and can't be used for corn or soy. They make for lovely photos though.

These are some of my watercolor paintings. Some old some new. Most are originals, but some are inspired by wonderful artists I found on YouTube trying to broaden my very amateur skills. It is very therapeutic if nothing else. I am really enjoying watercolor.
