We joined up with the Sedona Trail Running group today to do a loop on Munds Wagon, Hangover, unnamed social trail, and Huckaby Trails. About 5.2 miles and 1k vertical feet. #trailrunning #sedona

A bit of thundersnow (TSSN) earlier this afternon in Flagstaff. #azwx #weather

Orion and vicinity. January 2026 Nikon D850, Tamron SP Di USD 35mm, f/2.8, ISO 400, 40x120 seconds. Stacked with Siril 1.26. Histogram adjustment with rnc-color-stretch. Post processing with Lr/Ps. Late in the session high clouds created faint halos around the brighter stars. #astrophotography

Beautiful day for a run in Sedona. Connected a bunch of trails in the Adobe Jack area to make this loop. #trailrunning #landscape 📷

Unable to see aurora with my eyes but the camera captured some substorms extending upwards about 10° above the horizon. Nikon D850, 12mm fisheye, 15 sec, f/2.8, ISO 1600. Image correction and cropped. Wupatki National Monument, Arizona, a Dark Sky Park. #aurora #landscape 📷

Yesterday's run was on the Jim Thompson Trail. It's an "old school" type of trail built by Jim Thompson in 1887 as a wagon road to travel through Oak Creek Canyon. Turnaround was at Midgley Bridge and we did a short side trip up Wilson Canyon. #trailrunning #landscape 📷

Time lapse of the aurora from northern Arizona. It was not visible to the unaided eye. Nikon D850, 12mm fisheye, 15 sec, iso 1600. 1847–2248 MST 19 January 2026 (UTC-7) #aurora #astrophotography

#aurora from northern Arizona. Not visible with unaided eye. 12mm fisheye, 15 seconds, iso 1600.

Did a group trail run this weekend into the Red Rock–Secret Mountain Wilderness area near Sedona, Arizona. Cold temps (30°F) at the start and mild temps (mid 50s) at the finish. Typical. #trailrunning #landscape 📷

Tonight's sunset in northern Arizona. Shot with a Rokinon 12mm ƒ/2.8 Fisheye lens. I had another target in mind but shot this instead. L: original fisheye view R: "corrected" view #landscape 📷 #rokinon

Yesterday's run was up Munds Wagon Trail to Merry-Go-Round Rock. We haven't done this in several years and had forgotten how hard it is. But it's also got some amazing views plus some running water in the winter. #trailrunning #landscape 📷

Yesterday's run with the Sedona Trail Running group included Big Park Loop, Rabbit Ears, and VOC Loop. It was a chilly start (32F) but a warm finish (mid 50s). A bit over 5 miles and 600' vertical gain. #trailrunning #landscape 📷

Launch of the Pandora mission on a SpaceX vehicle this morning as seen from northern Arizona. The curved flight track is the 1st stage returning to launch site (RTLS). The second stage can be seen to the left but is very faint. #astrophotography

Some post-storm sunrise photos from Mormon Lake and Upper Lake Mary near Flagstaff, Arizona, this morning. #azwx #weather #landscape 📷

Some thundersnow near Kachina Village a few miles south of Flagstaff around 1128 MST. #azwx #weather

Saturday was a perfect day to photograph the Sandhill Cranes at Whitewater Draw in Cochise County, Arizona. Image #3 is a 21-frame composite of one flyby.

Colder and wetter weather is coming this week so we took the opportunity today to run the Brins Mesa--Soldiers Pass loop in Sedona. Lots of climbing and some pretty amazing views. #landscape 📷 #trailrunning #Sedona

Did a run in Sedona this morning connecting many trails to get a double loop: •Hogwash •Hog Heaven •High on the Hog •Broken Arrow •Chicken Point turnaround •Broken Arrow •Submarine Rock •Broken Arrow About 5.8 miles with 938' total elevation. #landscape 📷 #trailrunning

SpaceX launched the COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation Mission this evening from Vandenberg SFB in California. The launch was after the end of twilight so the rocket had to climb a fair bit before it caught sunlight. #astrophotography #rocket

Our annual group run on New Year's Day was along the Flagstaff Urban Trail System. It may be January but it is raining here at 7000' feet--making for an odd "winter" run. Photo of a sculpture along the FUTS trail adorned with holiday attire. #trailrunning #azwx #weather

•Faint parhelia lie on either side of the Sun and are reflected in the waters of Ashurst Lake. •Sunset colors are present in the sky and water. •Reflections of trees in the still waters of Ashurst Lake. #landscape 📷 #AtmosphericOptics

Yesterday's trail run included "Outer Limits" and "Ledge 'n Airy" in west Sedona. Did the outbound on LnA and the return on OL with our turnaround at the low point on Dry Creek. Nice views and great weather! #trailrunning #landscape 📷

Flagstaff precip since Oct 1 is 190% of normal. Snowfall is 30% of normal. Satellite shows a push of subtropical moisture into the SW US. Looks like another rain event this week for Flagstaff with snow levels generally above 9000'. #azwx #weather #AtmosphericRiver

With the Moon high in the sky and Orion rising in the east I was able to get a well-lit foreground and nice stars above Wukoki Pueblo and Sunset Crater Volcano. •Wupatki National Monument •Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument #landscape 📷 #astrophotography

Today's group run was Turkey Creek Trail near Village of Oak Creek (VOC). Net elevation was 665' but up-and-down nature of the trail resulted in 1075' total elevation. 7.5 miles. #landscape 📷 #trailrunning

Extended period of precip starts tonight so we decided to get in a trail run on Schultz Creek Trail today. The first 2 miles were okay. Beyond 2 miles there were icy sections -- so we decided to do the return run on the road. Good move. #trailrunning #landscape 📷

Sunset shot from Ashurst Lake near Flagstaff on Monday evening. Was really hoping the clouds would light up. Nope. But got some nice reflections in the water. #landscape 📷 #azwx

Was driving down Lake Mary Road near Flagstaff yesterday afternoon and saw this partial halo with parhelia that was reflected in the water. #landscape 📷 #optics

GOES-18 water vapor image shows an impressive plume of subtropical moisture heading northward into southwest US. Forecasts call for very high snow levels so expecting mostly rain -- even here in Flagstaff at 7000' elevation! #azwx #weather

Yesterday's run was an out-and-back on the Huckaby Trail in Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, Arizona. Total elevation gain is almost 3x the net gain with lots of ups-and-downs. Turnaround point was Midgley Bridge. #trailrunning #landscape 📷

Temps remain well above normal so why not run some local trails (~7000–8000 feet elevation). The snow should be mostly melted. Right? Ran up Elden Lookout Road to Upper Oldham to Down Under until mud/snow became too much. Returned via the road and then Middle Oldham. #landscape 📷 #trailrunning

Running on Teacup Trail below Coffeepot Rock in Sedona, Arizona. Warm and sunny. #trailrunning #landscape 📷

Today's group run was the Bell Trail alongside Wet Beaver Creek. The turn around point was this deep pool. There are numerous petroglyphs located along this trail. This one is easy to see; most require a bit of effort. #trailrun #landscape 📷

Many sunspots are visible today; the largest are, left-to-right, AR 4296, AR 4294, and AR 4298. Nikon D850, 500mm, 1/500 sec, f/11, ISO 64, Kendrick Astro solar filter. #astrophotography #sunspots

Tuesday's trail run was up Long Canyon in the Red Rock Wilderness near Sedona, Arizona. Mild temperatures, light winds, and sunny skies made for a great day. #trailrunning #landscape 📷

Meteorological fall has ended (Sep-Oct-Nov) and precipitation totals for Flagstaff (10.35") make it the 5th wettest fall on record. Normal for this period is 4.91". Other sites across the state also had Top 10 or better results. (2nd image from NWS/Flagstaff.) #azwx #weather

Clear skies overnight allowed some shallow fog to develop in the Mormon Lake Basin. The San Francisco Peaks loom in the distance. #landscape 📷 #fog

Today's run took us down the Arizona Trail into Picture Canyon Natural and Cultural Preserve -- and then returned via the Tom Moody Trail. The snow has already melted and trail was a perfect dampness. #trailrunning #ArizonaTrail #landscape 📷

Precipitation for October and November (thru 11/19) has cracked the top ten wettest on record. With more precipitation expected this weekend it may break into the top 5. #azwx #weather #arizona
