Yes, once again, #tbt is cancelled. I need to find more old photos! This is my time lapse video. It covers the entire eclipse, although I slowed it way down in the middle so you could actually SEE the eclipse. I purposefully did NOT include the sun in my frame as I wanted to show…

The Video: In Which I See Shadow Snakes
(Sorry… I’m watching the Horatio Hornblower series again… and my phrases are becoming very 18th Century…) So this is the video from my handheld camera which becomes painfully obvious quite quickly. Totality has just struck, in my enthusiasm I’ve punched the power button on and off TWICE. My DSLR which was to have chugged along…
What a Memory! (aka Total Solar Eclipse 2017)
Pull out the thesaurus and find some new, descriptive words. Stunning. Gorgeous. Fabulous. Awe-inspiring. Breathtaking. Wondrous. Moving. It was all of those and many more. The 2017 Wyoming Version of the Total Solar Eclipse was GREAT. Oh, sure, there were some glitches in my photography… my GoPro gave me some trouble… which is VERY FRUSTRATING…
Eclipse Preparations
Checklist for tomorrow… Cameras, tripods, water, chargers, eclipse glasses, solar filter, pinhole viewer, selfie cards, solar paper, water, food, schedule, hat, lawn chairs, shade, water, snacks, bubbles, white cardboard, water… I’ve double-checked the charge on my cameras, I’m taking three… I have extra glasses in case some child pokes a hole in theirs… I have…
Wyoming Eclipse Weekend
It’s finally here! Wyoming is rolling out the red carpet for thousands of visitors for the solar eclipse on Monday. Every town has “something” going on… We aren’t in the totality, but we’ve seen an increase in traffic! Here, Ten Sleep Brewery has created a Blackout Porter for the occasion, though I didn’t try it,…
And Then This
Small fire erupted this afternoon, most likely from a lightning strike yesterday or the day before. My guys were right on it… and were joined by neighbors, Ten Sleep Fire, BLM, Worland Fire, and the Forest Service… plus a spotter plane, this helicopter, and two slurry bombers. For more pics and video, follow Red Dirt…
Old-fashioned Storm
We spent most of the day without power… no biggee there, I’m set with a gas stove for cooking and wood stove for heat… it does really impact what you can and can’t do though! First order of business was to save my bushes outside… Reaching high with a garden tool, I could shake the…
Then This
Yard work. Mowing, picking up. Even helping Tess with a project I didn’t get pics of… Then… .77″ of rain overnight. Then this… Five inches of heavy, wet snow pulling down my lilacs and cherry bushes. It’s still snowing! What a spring!
Whine
Rain, rain, and more rain. People in Wyoming shouldn’t complain about rain. For an area that receives only 14″ of it throughout a year, every little bit helps. We usually measure rainfall in hundredths of an inch! This March was the second wettest that Johnny has recorded in all his years of recording the weather….
Rain Day
Wow, it’s amazing… .65″ of rain today! That’s a Good Rain for here! No yard work today, that’s for sure. I managed to make some more bookmarks for sale at the library, and enjoyed a book in front of a toasty fire for a while. It was a very nice and relaxing Sunday. If anyone is interested…
#TBT: Old Flood
Springtime high water is not a new thing. No date. Bridge over the Nowood Creek.
Multiple Personality Disorder
From nice, warm, springlike days to sunny but windy days, to flat out blizzard conditions… oh, goody for you, Wyoming! You have your multiple personality disorder in fine form!
