“Cirrus Uncinus” Cedar Park, 2021

I saw these wispy clouds high up in the air when I went out for my run. They look so cool, don’t they?

It’s the first day of autumn and the daytime temperatures in central Texas have dropped into the 80s. It’s already feeling like Halloween season!

“Backyard Clouds” Cedar Park, 2021

I set up my Fujifilm X-E4 for a long timelapse, but it shut off early. My guess is that it overheated once the sun started hitting it in the late afternoon. Oh well, I still got enough footage to make a short video:

I hope you had a good day!

“Break in the Clouds” Cedar Park, 2021

Hurricane Ida is churning in the Gulf of Mexico and up here in Austin we are seeing the outer band of clouds. It makes for a lot of interesting cloud formations in the sky but I just hope there won’t be too much hurricane damage along the coast…

It’s been a while since I made a time-lapse video using my Fujifilm X-E4 but today was a great opportunity. Enjoy!

“Fiery Sky” Cedar Park, 2021

This was my view of the sky from my place at our dinner table. The light only lasted several seconds but luckily I had my Fujifilm X-E4 nearby to capture it. Half a minute later, the color had faded from the cloud and was replaced by a greyish blue, which was still lovely but not nearly as as dramatic. I was happy to view this change until I thought about all the moments like this that go unnoticed and then I felt a little sadness.
