Phoenix had beautiful clouds all day after an overnight storm, but there were only a couple stragglers left by evening :)

When you're standing in the waves after sunset on the Big Island of Hawaii...
hoping the bubbles will make an interesting pattern in the surf 😌

Nothing like reviewing your photo library to remind you to get out in the mountains 😁

On the Kalalau Trail

Hiking the Na'Pali Coast.
A couple months after this trip, the world shut down due to COVID (and it was 3 years before I was out to the islands again 😌)

Light a candle for the winter solstice 🔥

A sci-fi winter sunset vista- Flatiron Mountain and the PHX East Valley night

I hope at least one person sees this full-screen on their computer :)

Hard to beat a desert sunrise... unless it's a mountain desert sunrise :)

Early morning (ok not THAT early; it's nearly the solstice) in the Superstition Mountains
