We had quite the spring blizzard up at Rocky Mountain National Park, here's a view as the storm finally cleared this past weekend.

A Steam Devil Cyclone at Yellowstone!
I wanted to post something special for my third flickrversary and became overjoyed when I realized I had captured a real steam devil (on right, like a cyclonic dust devil but with steam) at Grand Prismatic Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park! How I missed this earlier is beyond me, I have five total shots showing it that confirmed it was indeed one spinning away. Thanks all for three amazing years of friendship, growth and fun!

Trailing Above North Cascades National Park in a Meteor Shower
This image was created with 65 consecutive 30 second exposures stacked for the trails and 2 dark frames for noise reduction and 2 frames for the foreground detail. If you look carefully you can see Perseid meteors zooming through the frame as this was taken at the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower pointing towards the radiant. One my favorite yearly astronomical events!
Images were stacked with Max Lyon's stacker program and then merged in PS. If I had my superwide Tokina 11-16 for this I could have included the N. Star, that would have rocked.

Woo Hoo Hoo!
A Short-eared Owl takes flight at the Wellington State Wildlife Area located just north of Fort Collins, Colorado yesterday. I am pleased to finally get a flight capture of one of these grassland owls.
