We are approaching the end of summer, easy to say when looking at the calendar but Mother Nature is not giving up on causing us destruction. In less than a week, we have seen flash floods in the Nepal/Tibet region in Asia take many lives and closer to home, nearly a dozen people are unaccounted for in the Grand Canyon and I see that regions of Utah had flash floods today. One thing I would like to remind everyone, save yourself and get to safety before you feel the desire to record the destruction with your cell phone. For Labor Day weekend, most of the US can expect to see high temperatures, with the majority of the South and Southeast feeling like triple-digit heat. Meanwhile, here in Illinois, we are just waiting for another storm cell to show up and add to our already record 210 tornadoes in 2026. Apparently, Mother Nature is very angry. Get outside this weekend and enjoy a three-day weekend in the fresh air before the days get too short.
The first image this month was captured earlier this summer at Devils Tower National Monument. The sculpture is called "Wind Circle" by Japanese sculptor Junkyu Muto; this was the third World Peace Sculpture created by the artist - the first one was placed at the Vatican, while the second one was located near the Bodhi Tree in Bodhi Gaya, India. The base stone came from the Crazy Horse Memorial. Camera Data: 24mm 1/400 sec F13 ISO800
Our second image is a short three-hour drive from our first image; this one was found in Badlands National Park. This image was captured last month shortly after sunrise, which was more of a boring cloud show, without any sun to be seen for a few hours. While looking for a trailhead, I found numerous Mule Deer foraging in the grasses and heard a dog barking. Looking the direction of the dog, which was being walked down a gravel road, I noticed the pet barking at some Mule Deer. The deer seemed intrigued by this strange sound and just kept staring at the dog, which I was happy for; their distraction helped so I could capture a few images of them. Camera Data: 200mm 1/500 sec F8 ISO1600
