From Las Cruces, New Mexico. That cloud structure over Organ Pipe Mountains we spotted on the drive going to our rental, about an hour away. I was hoping they would stay until we got there and they did not disappoint.

#Nightsky in #LasCruces, #NewMexico from 2021. We bought a very large bag of dried #chilies there and we are still going through them with several vacuum packed portions to go. It was a great trip with new adventures. #photography #stars #lighttrails
In a conflicted world, be more like dogs and cats.

34 years married today. Thanks for everyone that came along for the ride. Everyone of you enriched our experience.
#Butterfly Wonderland in Scottsdale is another diamond in the desert we've found while in Arizona. Imagine wandering through a tropical paradise full of different varieties of butterfly's, it's truly amazing. Young and old love it. One of the dozens we saw in 2024 was this Julia Longwing.
I tried to recreate a shot from a couple of years ago. I think it's better. 5 exposure hdr with a small aperture to get the star burst effect. #sunrise #farm #pipe #photography
On state land, but some kind soul clipped the barbed wire guarding it. #blackandwhite #nater #tree #photography
Up and out before #sunrise yesterday. My usual spot at the end of our road is where desert and main street intersect. Oddly there were several empty cars, easily explained by the gunshots in the desert. Plenty of good #light for eye level, but sometimes, you just gotta look up. #photography
I had a memory come up of a #sunrise shot from a couple of years ago. I think it came out better than the one before, but still working on it. Until then, here's one I literally shot from the hip showing illegal dumping in the background. And an #illegal #dumping #sign. #photography

Larry's #Antiques in #Cottonwood is probably one of our favorite shops in #Arizona. Before the new owners took over it was two huge buildings, one a two story, and plenty of stuff lying on the ground on the two acre site.
A nice double #rainbow from yesterday. But like the 100 or so rain drops, it didn't last very long. This was taken from our front yard in San Tan Valley, Arizona.

I shuttered awake at not nearly enough sleep this morning and realized the #Perseids Meteor Shower was about ready to peak. So from our backyard looking east and up at about 4am I happened to get a couple of shots from our San Tan Valley home. (More comments in Comments)
#Lightening has an electric potential of 100 million-1 billion volts, a lightening bolt heats air to around 50,0000 degrees. I had one right over me a few years ago trying to get a shot of lightening over The #Superstitions. Fun Fact: That was the fastest I've ever packed up and jumped in my car.
Exactly 3 months from today is the most important midterm election in our lifetime. Our opportunity to hold him accountable. Register to vote here: Iwillvote.com The stakes have never been higher. Show the world the majority of Americans are good, decent, honest people. #VoteBlue🗳️ #RejectMAGA 👎
#Music hat tip to Mike GiBson, not Mike GiPson, from high school - he was pretty adamant about the spelling an pronunciation. He also turned me on to Savoy Brown. Specifically the album Lookin In. Great #blues rock band. Looking In - youtu.be/e8KGQarFvuk?...

An archive redo from 2024. We planned our trip to the North Rim of the #GrandCanyon around a New Moon for completely #DarkSkies. A year after this the lodge and camp grounds were burned down in a fire. Not the first time, and they will rebuild again. #MilkyWay #photography #stars
Really impressed with #ON1 #Denoise software. Works a lot better than Affinity Photo, gives more detail... and it's free until July 31st. The video provides the link: youtu.be/0BBwCwtw49M?...
