The weekly build has been paused since October 6, 2026. The seasons and dates below still hold. Events are the ones the last finished build found, in the week of 2026-09-13, that have not happened yet — anything announced since is missing, and nothing here reflects this week's weather.

3 of 230 match, in the order they happen.
Each one is a subject, a spot, and the season it runs — grouped by how soon it matters. 2 of the 3 on the map are in season right now, in Dec. Say what is in your bag and it will tell you which of these your longest lens actually reaches.

Clarity is a dry-spell artefact and it collapses within a day of real rain upstream, so this is a window you take when it opens rather than one you plan.
When the conditions are not there, this says watch, not go — and names what is missing. A wrong moon or a front that never arrived is worth more to you than a confident guess.

Ocala to Sarasota, coast to coast. The shaded ground is a two-hour drive from Lakeland on real roads, not a radius — generalised to about a mile for drawing. Dashed rings are 30, 60 and 90 minutes. Coastline from Natural Earth, served from a file in this repository: no tile vendor, no key, and nobody outside this site learns where you shoot.
