Weather

Back in March our area had some of the warmest weather on record for that month. Several colleagues and friends went south to get warm--the typical plan and time for a Michigander to get some heat after a cold winter. The bad news for them is that it was typically colder along the Gulf Coast than the Third Coast! 


The ephemeral yet powerful El Nino struck again. It warmed and pushed the jet stream further north across the US (west to east) warming us and leaving the cooler air along the south. We had record highs and they had record lows.  (I'm sure several readers can correct/improve this description!)


Now, it's our turn--a below average April-May; cold, wet, and windy. OK, yes, typical in many ways, but still chillier. In times past the weather is good enough to get some fun macro shots outside, but it is just not pleasant enough to get some good shots at the times I have available. Despite me living in the hearty north . . . I'm still a weenie. 


So, here's one from the archive---this is what I'd like to be out photographing:

Any idea what it is? 


Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
