stormdoctor > A barn and windmill serve as foreground to this aquamarine sky. Near Bison, KS, on May 24, 2008.

stormdoctor > A gust front approaches the town of Bison, KS, on May 24, 2008. The windmill is a great focal point for me. As I stood in the field surrounded by wheat and winds, the windmill squeaked and squak in lazy protest. A truly wonderful and centering moment.

stormdoctor > I'm not a hail expert and avoid hail like the plaque. Good chasing technique allowed me to sample this hail (which had multiple bretheren covering the ground) moments after it fell (without getting hit myself). This was west of Bison, KS, on May 24, 2008. The hailstone has a laminar core. Its repeated travels through the updraft are catalogued like tree rings (though the analogy fails thereafter as you cannot measure the "age" of a hailstone).

Good chasing technique allowed me to sample this hail (which had multiple bretheren covering the ground) moments after it fell (without getting hit myself). This was west of Bison, KS, on May 24, 2008. This particular stone was more representative of most of the hailstones that covered the ground: it has a mace-like appearance and would likely severely maim or kill any person or animal hit by this. This is what can make chasing dangerous.

stormdoctor > Gorgeous wildfower field with yucca growing along the highway south of Garden City, KS, on May 31, 2007.

stormdoctor > May 27, 2007. Chadron Hills, Nebraska. Red pine with sagebrush over cropped, green hills.

stormdoctor > No one but me seems to like this photo. I loved the intensity of the green pasture, the seemingly oblivious cattle, and the intense precip core bearing down on them just 1/2 mile away. I guess it was the color that struck me. This was near Sayre, OK.

stormdoctor > I loved the trees which are native to the area of the Red River Valley.

stormdoctor > Upslope winds and cool northerly air created this scenic cloudscape of lenticular-type low clouds along the Colorado front range.
