The forecast was for rain between 2:00 am and 5:00 am, clearing after sunrise with winds in the afternoon. They got the clearing after sunrise and winds right. We didn’t get a drop of rain that I could tell. On my way home at 4:15 pm, the dust made clouds that obscured the sun.
Off Center & Not Even 
Beautiful, Tim. Crescent moon is my favorite. I’m at the coast this weekend, and am getting some good shots.
Thanks, Jeff. Great to here.
Most welcome, Tim.
Your color palettes are truly inspiring for interior design. Beautiful!
Thanks, Michelle. A “dust made clouds” color scheme would be nice.
Yes!
Nice collection. Love the light surrounding the cranes.
Thanks, Carol.
This wrong and hopeful forecasts happen to us, too, Timothy! Your images are great, many thanks:)
Thanks, Martina.
Wowls, cranes, trees, skies, moons…be still my beating heart .
Always a heartbeat away.
Even your dust is spectacular!!!
On a side note, yesterday driving home I saw the Moon but had no camera to capture it as there was something about it. I was certain however you’d capture that special Moon. Thank you!!!!
You are welcome, Marina. I could not see the moon through the dust until I was almost inside. I was watching for it and couldn’t see it and then like magic it suddenly appeared. Tyche made it clear to the dust to reveal the moon just in time for me to get a shot of it for you. Deities originated “just in time” delivery. Thanks for stopping by to see your moon.
😌🙏
“0a6a0727” is a wonderfull capture, not only because of the silhouettes, but of the water-splashing crane’s foot as well.
Thanks, Heidi.
I enjoyed the set of photos, Tim, and look forward to the new owlets when they appear.
We did get a break post sundown yesterday and I got the see the growing sliver moon.
Thanks, Lavinia. That’s great you got to see the moon.
I really had to look for mama on her nest, Timothy. The dust is horrible, I hate dust storms, we get them here too.
Thanks, Roberta. Often Mama Owl is totally tucked in and can’t be seen at all.
Love the effects the dust had. Nice to know Daddy Owl is keeping watch. Those silhouettes are so lovely and that crescent moon? Divine!
Thanks, Dale. I almost missed the moon. Tyche made it appear so I could photo graph it for Marina.
Sweet shots, Tim!
No rain though! Bummer.
Thanks, Resa.
Wild to see the changes occur so fast and vividly Tim. Always gorgeous!
Weather changes quickly out here. Thanks, Cindy.
I’m surprised the owls nest when it’s so cold. It was 80 degrees here the other day, and the next day, it was cold, windy, raining, and freezing the animals’ water at night. I hate those sudden temperature changes. Love the colorful photos!
One pair starts sitting at the end of January. They know the timing for there little ones. We’ve been all over the place on temps. Ususally warm during the day, but still gets into the teens most nights.
The great sky photographer strikes again!
Thanks, Teri.
Our rain ended up coming in as snow so everything is white again – still waiting to see our resident Owls (mainly Barreds) to show themselves – I hear them at night, but so far no luck in actually seeing one. Interesting dust cloud patterns.
Thanks, Brian. It’s amazing how owls can make themselves invisible.
Amazing photographs Tim. The owls are so beautiful. I can never get enough at looking at them. Scott likes to go in your site with me. We enjoyed our visit very much. Amazing thank you Tim. ❤️
Thanks, Joni.
My pleasure. ❤️
