Exactly a month ago today, I shot what very likely will be a once in a lifetime setup for me. Morning bolts in Yosemite! Last one had 2 upward leaders coming off the rock. Days like these are when i feel extra grateful to live less than an hour away from Yosemite

It’s been 3 years since I’ve been down in Southern Arizona. I’m liking the pattern shift coming and Early season means haboob scenes like this come out to play 🔥

Downright incredible 🔥
Just had an epic mammatus sunset north of Rapid City, SD!
Wild weather day in Tahoe. Nice weather in the morning and then a cold front that came in unannounced. Mayhem.
Whoever wished for this, please stop 😂
Ah yes, summertime. Long hours of sunlight, days at the lake, and... SNOW?! Yes, snow. Currently at the lab we have a mix of #snow and #graupel coming down. Nothing says summer serenity like a blanket of white! #CAwx #Weather
This is so stupid it’s almost laughable
