"Spanning The Globe...." Can you tell I just finished watching an ABC Sports presentation? That's where I got the idea for a name for this picture of a rainbow. Taken on September 7th, 2018, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR.

Taken about midnight back in 2015.

While touring with a band I used to be in, we drove into this storm while returning from a show in Wisconsin. I used my camera's panoramic setting to capture it. Taken on June 7th, 2015, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR.

A sudden windstorm hit my town during summer of 1980. It blew down a lot of nice, big trees all around town - and it even blew off the roof of my family's back porch. A couple shots I took of the damage it did got picked up by the local newspaper - this was one of them.

On a road trip back from Utah in 2008, our party got stranded at Evanston, Wyoming because so much snow had fallen and the Interstate was closed. We made the most of it.

Better get ready.

A few moments ago, I got to see this awesome light show, put on by nature. Taken on April 8th, 2020.

At 11.20 a.m. on the morning of January 18th, 1929, a tornado hit the town of Maunie, Illinois, killing two school children. This is a picture of some of the damage the storm caused. 1929 Tornado in Maunie 2-2af

At 11.20 a.m. on the morning of January 18th, 1929, a tornado hit the town of Maunie, Illinois, killing two school children. This is a picture of their graves and what appears to be their classmates and teachers at the graveside service. 1929 Tornado in Maunie 1ff

Although I knew what I wanted my picture for this week's challenge to be, I wasn't able to actually take it until 7.30 p.m. Saturday night, due to it storming and raining all week. I happened to notice there was a break in the rain, so I ran out and quickly got my shot. I have to admit, though, I think the storm clouds in the background helped to enhance my shot. I simply threw a feather up in the air, manually focused the camera at about 4 feet and with the flash on to expose the feather (as it would have been very dark on the underside had I not done so), took my shot. I had the camera on a tripod and used the 10-second self-timer so that I could be in a better position to throw the feather over the lens. (The camera was pointed almost straight up.) It only took five tries to get the one I was happy with. I also caught a flock of birds flying past in the distance, so there are more feathers - but they're all flying or floating in the air. The picture is framed exactly like I took it - it has not been cropped. Camera: Sony Alpha SLTa77v, version 1.07 Lens: Sony DT 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6, @18mm Shooting Program: Manual (of course!)

This was the house, not far from where I live and just outside of Crossville, where the man lost his life in the first tornado that struck on Wednesday. He was trying to rescue his two dogs out of the storm and sadly, they were killed as well. We have way too many tragedies due to tornadoes here.

Here's a woman looking for family mementos to salvage in the field across from the house near Crossville. It looked like a war zone around that area.

Some low-flying clouds I saw recently. Taken on September 9th, 2016, with my Sony SLT-a77v DSLR.

We've been having a lot of storms here recently, and this was one of the thunderheads that was building up. Taken on September 16th, 2016.

This is the storm that ripped through my area last night. It brought nearly 70 mile per hour winds with it and blew down several trees in my town. This shot was taken at almost midnight, in case you wondered.
