I post photos on NicholasScribner.com and articles on Jeers.com.
I am starting a series this autumn titled “Leaf Peeping 2022.” I plan to document various stages of fall colors and the eventual falling of leaves (phenology). For this inaugural post, I went to Lake Ann Park in Chanhassen, Minnesota, from about 11:20 a.m. to noon today.
Today, I visited the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (the Arb) in Chaska, Minnesota.
These are my first professional-camera photos taken this September.
This evening, my mom and I walked the Three-Mile Walk at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, Minnesota.
The National Weather Service (N.W.S.) launches two weather balloons each day, separated by 12 hours. I took these photos at 6 a.m. this morning. The next launch is presumably at 6 p.m.
If you ever come across a weather balloon on the ground when you’re out walking, follow the instructions to send it back to the N.W.S., since they reuse some of the equipment. Furthermore, this “kidscorner” article on the N.W.S.’s website states, “The balloon flights last for around 2 hours, can drift as far as 125 miles away, and rise up to over 100,000 ft. (about 20 miles) in the atmosphere!”
These photos were taken at the N.W.S. forecast office in the Twin Cities/Chanhassen, Minnesota.
My mom and I went to Chanhassen’s Fourth of July celebration twice today (it is free, after all). It was sprinkling the first time we went at about 2:30 p.m. By the second time we went at about 6:45 p.m., the precipitation was over. The weather is significant because there will be heavy rain and a chance of thunderstorms tomorrow, Independence Day.
All photos were taken with my smartphone.
Who makes sunsets? My source for such information tells me it’s not the government.
I took these photos of the National Weather Service forecast office in the Twin Cities/Chanhassen, Minnesota. For the unaware, I have been photographing this entity since at least high school. It’s located next to my neighborhood, and it’s been pretty cool getting to grow up next to it.
June 1 is the first day of meteorological summer, which is based on the temperature cycle. But some contend the first day of summer is actually June 20–22, the solstice, which is based on the position of Earth in relation to the Sun. In any case, today’s blue sky and fluffy clouds look like summer. I took these photos with my phone.
Song of the day: The Orb – Little Fluffy Clouds.
Today, my mom and I checked out the 40,000 blooming tulips and completed the Three-Mile Walk at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, Minnesota.
For my first photos of 2022 taken with my professional camera, I visited Excelsior, Minnesota, at the golden hour—the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset. I was there today for the sunset. These photos depict some of my favorite places as a child.
Today, my mom, puggles, and I made it to Carver Park Reserve Off-Leash Dog Park in Victoria, Minnesota. This dog park is actually the only dog park we knew about after getting Pugsley, and it wasn’t for quite some time that we found out about all the other dog parks in the area.
According to the Minnesota DNR’s Fall Color Finder, now is the perfect time for fall colors in Victoria. However, fall colors this year are not as spectacular as other years because of the drought we had this summer. Nevertheless, it was a nice day to visit a dog park and get some photos.
