Monthly_Update Message
Two big milestones over the next few days: the halfway point in the year and then, a few days later, the United States will celebrate 250 years of Independence. While 250 years is a long time, it's an insignificant number when compared to the countries in Europe and the Middle East, plus considering the native american's who inhabited the lands of the US long before ships sailed across the Atlantic. On the flip side, in a short time period, our ancestors have done a fairly good job of destroying the wildlife and lands in this country. Hopefully, everyone in the US will do a better job of managing the resources that we leave to our descendants.
Our first image this month is a fascinating cloud formation, mammatus clouds - typically these are related to strong storms. These were captured at the tail end of a storm cell that included at least four tornadoes in the eastern half of Illinois a few weeks ago. Not sure why but the state of Illinois has been having a large number of severe storms this year and an extremely high number of tornadoes. As of a week ago, Illinois had experienced 196 confirmed tornadoes in 2026; Mississippi is second with 83 - not a fact that you want to be leading in the counts. There have been a number of scientists and storm chasers in the state in the past month and hopefully they are able to collect valuable data for their research. Camera Data: 24mm 1/200 sec F9.0 ISO800
Our next image is a tribute to a young racer, husband, father and genuine person that I had the pleasure of knowing. Dan Bromley tragically lost his life in a racing incident last Saturday. This image was captured less than three hours prior to the accident and I have no words I can express at this time. Rest in peace Dan. Camera Data: 400mm 1/800 sec F4.0 ISO250
Here's a link to download the appropriate version of this month's image for your desktop, one for standard screens and one for wide-screens, along with a Mobile Phone Image. For desktop computers or tablets, open the required version for your device, right-click on the image or right-click on the text for the format you need and select Save As, save to a location on your device and change the background as needed for your OS.
For Mobile devices, most mobile phones require a long press and a menu pop-up will be displayed. Click save, then follow the steps for your operating system to set it as your background image.
If anyone has problems or questions with their mobile device, let me know and I will try to assist.
