Dear kids pumping your arm up and down wanting me to blow my semi horn:
We enjoy that just as much if not more than you. Never stop.

No Sleep Till... After the sun went down and everybody went home from chasing the day, I stuck around in the countryside awaiting a noctural thunderstorm to appear. The thunder gods granted me my wish east of Drumheller between 3-4:00AM this morning.

I don't always chase auroras, but when I do, lady aurora goes G2 and she lets it rip, much like she did tonight. Here's a 3 shot time-lapse taken between 1:00 and 4:00AM this morning north of Red Deer, Alberta.

I'm going to say this once and ONCE only. DO NOT BLOCK OVERPASSES LIKE THIS DURING A STORM. It is dangerous and can lead to a multi-vehicle collision in the process. Hwy 54 overpass on QE2 south of Innisfail at 6:25PM, both NB and SB lanes blocked. 😐😑

Say it ain't Joe. Hell of a run and a hell of a NHL career for you. You will go down as one of the best American hockey players to play the game and we'll see your name into the rafters at SAP Center soon. You're our Little Joe, but will always be the Big Pavelski.

Somebody famous once said "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Thankfully I don't sleep, so I took a shot at driving out to Sylvan Lake, Alberta this morning, and then Lady Aurora came ripping across the sky just before 3AM MDT.

My neighbour broke up with her boyfriend this morning and tossed all of his stuff to the curb and I just added a boxspring to his pile because I've been meaning to get rid of it for quite some time now.
After a beauty day of chasing storms, the nocturals came out to play again. And the only spot I could think of was this famous grain elevator north of Innisfail to go and enjoy the show. Looking SW towards Innisfail between 11:00 and 11:30PM tonight.

Good morning from Mile 101 on the Alaska Highway in a hamlet affectionately known as, you guessed it, Wonowon, British Columbia. Where the sun has just risen and the sky paints it's beautiful portrait for all of us to enjoy today.

Nothing cures a bout of insomnia more like a early morning walk into the woods and then pop out to a breathtaking view. Looking east over the Red Deer river from Canyon Ski Hill northeast of Red Deer this morning.
Nice to get out and chase around the countyside for the first time this season. Even got quite the light show at sunset and after it went down around Halkirk this evening.
