Finally, as we enter the thirtieth year of SkyPix as a web presence, we have Gaillardias of Outflow in the Gallery of Outflow! No, I haven’t been saving this line for that long, just in case, but the connection doesn’t escape me upon making the entry. A sub-sandwich-shaped shelf cloud, after it moved over, changed the ambient light enough to set this scene across the street. “Firewheel” Gaillardias, also known as Indian blankets or blanket flowers, still bloom well into summer in central Texas, and for a storm trip that far south, this was quite late. It was also far from the only storm-observing action on that memorable day!
