Big temp gradient coming up...cave was 60F, outside low 90s
Nice! I love getting in and out of a cave when it's hot outside, especially the way the forest air smells when going outside again.
It's been warm here these days, with highs in the low to mid 80s and lows in the low to mid 70s.
Shortish shadows

Do you know what trees are these in the last picture? There are a lot of orchards in your area? The factory reminds me of northern France. Not many industrial buildings around here, unless one goes all the way to Marseille.

The White Mountains have a few, they're colder than that. One holds ice year around (at around 3000 feet).

That's really short. You're at my latitude, just above. So they should be just as short here. Need to pay more attention. Impressive thunderclouds there for a place with dry summers, I assume you're not getting any of the rain?

I think pear trees, could be wrong. Not many orchards here, but there are a few. The old factories tend to be by rivers. I looked up "Yankee Plastics" — they're out of business and their website is dead. Was a small manufacturing company employing 20 people.

How high are those clouds?. They don't look that high, but it might just be the photo. Similar clouds here during summer are usually between 10-15000 ft. Nei referred to them as thunderclouds, but they don't look like the sort of cloud that deliver thunder - though often a downpour over a small area somewhere. and stray large drops everywhere else.
Starting the day off in Jackson, Tennessee. Low was 73F...breezy with clouds thin enough for the sun to shine through
Somewhere in northwestern Tennessee
Reelfoot Lake State Park
That's my pick of the bunch. Awesome. Very cool they built the bridges and paths around there. At first I thought was Florida or Louisiana. Didn't think it would be TN. You can tell its humid from the Pictures with the hazey air. Or maybe that was just because it was cloudy. Or maybe the lens was fogging up. If the picture with just the trees in the water (2 above this one) had a better background that would of been my favorite.

That lake was actually formed by the New Madrid Earthquakes in 1811-1812!
