Click the pic for a bigger view Quick post for this crappy Monday.  Both of my AZ teams (Diamondbacks & Cardinals) lost yesterday which makes today that much worse.  And on the college front my Jayhawks lost on Saturday, but that was expected.  Some days you just can’t win. I went through several names for…

Today’s post will be quick and simple.  Here we have some Aspens growing in Colorado. Anytime I see an Aspen I immediately think of the Rocky Mountains. Known for their shimmering leaves, it shouldn’t be much longer until they turn to their signature gold color.  They are truly a sight to behold. Hopefully this year…

Click the pic for a bigger view Today’s post is of a lightning capture from this past weekend.  This was one of many rewards I received after a long day of fruitless chasing. Late on Friday I had driven towards Tucson to catch up with photog buddy Mike Olbinski for some storm chasing.  We made…
