2012 is well underway and where is all the people, not hard a word. The lighthouse is still standing after the wind, ice storms passing through here. We are way over on rain so far this year, the last two snow storms did a number on us living away from the big towns, and then again we live at the snow line. any of you folks got snow problems where you live. I keep trying to get folks to say a word or two here, your key boards do work, "Right".. So how was that New Years Party. "Boats"..

Where are you folks, any one out there, knock knock, you can't be so busy not to say "HI".. Any one.. Hmmmmm. Ok. The weather is on us in the North/West, high winds, rain and snow more then normal. You can exspect other then normal weather in most areas in the U.S.A. . Out side this country is another story, in the E.U. you will see about the same as we're getting with more flooding in the low lands. In Japan the ground is still moving where the big earthquake was and still a lot more to come. How do I know this, I study the weather and what the earth is doing, not hard to do this day and age. Well I did get most of the Christmas lights up, but the rest is on weather hold. Thanksgiving night is when I turn it all on, but thats a "Maybe this Year". One day we get snow the next is lots of rain, but thats the North/West Washington area. So whats it like where you live? "Boats"..

Thats right, "Big Snow".. Depending where in north American areas you live, your bound to get snow, lot of snow, some places snow will come down that's not seen snow in years. Been studying the weather for years and from what I;m reading from all the northern weather sites, you'd better be ready this year. Stock up on food and water and other things needed to get you through the year, doing the plan now. And when I say get ready, don"t blow it off, cold weather can make a good day go bad if not ready. Some of you folks live outside the U.S. and may never see cold weather, world over the weather is changing. Find out what your weather is doing and can do, make plans, "Be Ready".. Now get a coffee and talk about it with family and friends. A little bit of ready is better then no ready. Make Fast Mates. "Boats"..

Since I lost my job and the new one requires more hours for about 1/2 the pay, my free time has been about 7 to 8 hours less a week. I also took the position of President of the Florida Keys Reef Lights Foundation and it is like a part time job.

As I've continued to dig through the 750+ cloud photos that I shot, I keep finding images that intrigue me. This is another one. The main crepuscular ray, while interesting, didn't strike me as much as the subtle cloud detail did.

As we were about to sail beneath this building storm cloud, the wispy tendrils of cloud were being sucked continually higher as this monster continued to build. I was hoping for some lightning from this beast but unfortunately, there was very little aside for some faint cloud-to-cloud bursts inside of this monster.

Storm cloud building in the late afternoon just north of Hog Island, which was renamed Paradise Island after the construction of the Atlantis resort. I guess you can't have the high rollers who can afford to stay there camping out on Hog Island

The longer I looked at this image the more I thought about what it would look like in B&W. That said, here's the B&W version of it. Comments on which people think is more effective would certainly be welcomed.

A massive thunderhead building at sunset. For the most part, the sunsets were pretty anemic from a photographic standpoint. The sun sank into the murk to the west off the east coast of the US and that was it.
