The headlights of a vehicle emerges out of the fog in this view southbound along US Highway 281 just north of Lucy Creek in Lampasas County, Texas around 1:15 PM, Monday, November 21, 2011. Our family was enroute to Kerrville, Texas on this day. Conditions were mostly foggy in northern Texas all morning and into the afternoon.
It may not have been turkey with all the trimmings, but this vacation day at Galveston, Texas on Thanksgiving Day more than sufficed. A previously overcast morning was beginning to break up as this view of scattered cumulus clouds over the Gulf of Mexico shows. This image, located along the beach about two miles northeast of Seawall Boulevard and taken around 11:15 AM, November 24, 2011, looks southeast.
Looking very aurora-like in this five second exposure, fast moving clouds move across the southeast sky as seen from Alvin Drive in Kerrville, Texas around 7:10 PM on Monday, November 21, 2011. The clouds would bring rain and a little lightning in the coming hours. Silhouetted in the foreground are shrub-like cedar trees that dot the rocky terrain here. The bright object shining through the cloud cover at upper left is the planet Jupiter. This image was shot at f/4, 1600 ISO and 22mm focal length. Kerrville, where at this hour conditions were balmy at 73 degrees F, is about 40 miles NW of San Antonio.
The bright planet Jupiter (center, lower) peeks out from behind trees in this west view from Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa around 3:15 AM, Friday, November 18, 2011. At top center is the Pleiades star cluster. Jupiter was shining at a -2.86 magnitude. This was a 15 second exposure at f/4, 800 ISO and an 18 mm focal length.
The Leonid meteor shower was nowhere to be seen here at Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa during prime viewing time around 3:15 AM, Friday, November 18, 2011. The nearby last quarter moon (upper right) bathed the night sky in its light, washing out meteor streaks. The shower, whose namesake comes from the constellation Leo the Lion, (left of the moon), appears to emanate from that point. Not overcome by the moon's glow was the 0.91 magnitude planet Mars (the lower bright object at the moon's 7 or 8 o'clock position). This image, which looks east, is a 20-second exposure at f/4, 800 ISO and 18mm focal length. The night was very breezy with the air temperature at 35 degrees F.
This view south along 335th Street
The rising sun created this painted look to an isolated group of cumulus clouds around 7:00 AM, Tuesday, November 15, 2011. This view looks east from Brentwood Drive NE in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Elsewhere, the sky was generally clear.
