Jordan Nielson, 3, laughs as his dad, John, hoists him into the air while the two played Monday, June 7, 2010 at Portal Pool in Colorado Springs.

Nice photo by Hal Smith of The Sedalia Democrat (MO). Anyone have any cool rainbow, lightning or other weather photos you’d share.
If so, send it to photo@gazette.com.

Gazette staffers David Philipps and Christian Murdock while working on a story at Wolf Creek ski area got some runs in the fresh powder Tuesday. The ski area in the southwest part of the state received 36 inches over the last seven days, seven feet since Dec. 6 and has a base of 74 inches. Sometimes work can be fun.
