Photo of the day

We keep moving months and I keep delaying on posting images – so I suppose I may just have to go back and put some in out of sequence. But this date has rolled over and it’s September. Summer’s back is broken, soon the cool air of fall will be here, along with the yellow […]

It wasn’t a spectacular storm day, but there are enough images for a posting.  Most of these are longer distance shots with the storms quite a ways away.  Today’s track was from the southwest to the northeast so nothing really got that close. I’m getting spoiled, unless there is high drama, I’m not inclined to […]

Drove on Saturday afternoon down to Pinedale Wyoming for a charitable event and then went out the next morning exploring in the Green River Valley area of the Sawtooth range. Came across this great lake just outside of Pinedale and hope to go back in the fall. Larger image here. (click on the image after […]

Thursday night flight from ABQ to Phoenix so we could be on a 6am flight on Friday out of Phoenix. Rented the car and drove for a long time to get to one of the most beautiful places that I’ve been to, here or in Europe.  I suspect that only New Zealand might surpass this. Early morning […]

This was a great day for me. I’ve been on the road so much these last two years that I’ve missed lots and lots of the summer storms here in Albuquerque. Tonight however, I got to watch and shoot during an amazing display. I love it when the clouds are defined by a really bright […]

No fireworks tonight, at least not at the local country club. It was great however, to be up on the roof and watching the horizon explode in every quadrant with flashes and booms and all the noise that is the celebration of the 4th. We, my hiking friend from Michigan and I, are very tired. […]

This is the second day in a row that I’ve climbed the Sandias.  Yesterday was a brutal climb up the chimney route and today was the more usual route up the LaLuze trail.  Took no images yesterday that qualify for recording here, maybe in a log of the trail, but nothing to memorialize. So today we […]

I was hoping that you could fake out a blog, but it seems that is not possible, unless I’m just missing something. I wanted to go back in time and create some entries, but this thing seems too smart to let me insert posts for back in February. I suppose what I can do is […]

Even when the only thing you have is a phone camera – sometimes the photos can come out “all right.” Went to an associate’s birthday party in Los Lunas on Saturday afternoon and was so pleased to see this bed of tulips in his mother’s front yard. I’m inspired and next year, these will grace […]
