My two best captures from last nights storms, captured around 1am. The storms went north and south around Iowa City, so I was able to stay dry while shooting from a hill. #storm #lightning #tucsonstormchasers #iowacity #iowa

We visited the Vatican on our trip to Rome. Angela and I were able to go through the holy doors that are only open once every 25 years. This is my favorite photo from the tour, the old entrance into the Vatican museum. #vatican #spiralstaircase #rome #romeitaly

On the second full day in Florence we visited the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze and Giardino Bardini. Michelangelo had pieces in the Galleria. He would have his apprentices rough carve sculptures and he would finish them. Angela and I visited the gardens while the kids took a break from sight seeing. #galleriadellaccademia #giardinodiboboli #florence #florenceitaly

More photos from storms yesterday. The first picture is a land spout that was developing which turned into dust storm at the leading edge of the supercell. The next are a couple wall clouds throughout the day. #storms #storm

Caught another Barred Owl on Monday evening at a different location. This time I was prepared and got a much closer view with some backlight. #barredowl #owl #wildlifephotography #wildlifeonearth #iowacity
