Happy Trails

Click the pic for a bigger view Short post today as I’m headed out to assist Holly Baumann shoot the Children’s Action Alliance charity event. I’ve shot the Superstition Mountains several times in the past, but this one is pulled back considerably to show off that crazy sky we had that day.  This was taken…

Cracked

Cracked

Click the pic for a bigger view It’s been awhile since I posted a lightning strike so I figured it’s time.  We had some thunderstorms roll through on Tuesday night which proved to be a pretty good light show. I got out late chasing the storms and quickly learned they were fast moving.  After about…

I went through several names for…

Snow-stitious

Click the pic for a bigger view Today’s image was taken back earlier this spring.  We had just had a good rainfall in the valley which generally means a lite dusting of snow on the surrounding mountains.  The mountains you see here are known as the Superstitions and located out at the Lost Dutchman State…

Dark Skies

Dark Skies

Click the pic for a bigger view Short post today as I have a huge to-do list.  Earlier this week we had a nice round of storms hit Phoenix.  I was motivated to get out and chase as we are nearing the end of our monsoon season.  Before long we will be staring at cloudless…
