Monthly_Update Message
Appears the world is starting to really get stir crazy, area's are starting to open up and people are flocking to get out of the house. Hopefully everyone is being smart and making good decisions in their day to day activities. Last month I talked about the rain we were having in Central Illinois and a mild flood with the Illinois River. Since then the Midwest experienced rain for 1 week straight which pushed the Illinois River near 28 feet. Most farmers were able to plant their crops before the heavy rains but not sure they will all survive without replanting due to the high runoff during these rain storms.
The first image this month is from earlier this year, during one of our precipitation events, leaving water on Yucca plant leaves. I loved how the water beads built up on the leaves and the threads. Something else I really like to look at, the lens effect of the water droplets - it's fun attempting to focus the camera system to view features displayed in the water drops.
Our second image this month is Spanish racer Toni Elias, who is starting his fifth season racing in North America. Elias is a highly decorated rider, finishing each US Championship season in the top three while winning the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship in 2017. Prior to coming to the US, Elias was the 2010 Moto2 World Champion and a Grand Prix race winner in the MotoGP, Moto2, 250cc, and 125cc World Championships. Yesterday was the first race of 2020 for MotoAmerica, first weekend of ten rounds. It also marks the first weekend of professional two wheel racing to occur in the world since our planet shutdown a few months ago. In case you are wondering, the US has a highly competitive road race series within MotoAmerica - this weekend there are racers from 12 different countries in the five classes. Would be an understatement to say the whole world is watching the racing this weekend - Europe is televising the races live.
