This picture has to be one of my favorites because it is so cool to look at the lighting and find all the different shapes as well as lightning is hard to capture, so I am very proud of it. The dark sky really helps illuminate the lightning and the lighter green ground helps make the sky look darker.

I took this image because I have always loved sunsets, this is one of my favorite sunsets that I have captured. In this image I used the road as an eye guide to lead ones eyes up to the sky.

Hidden in the Catalina Foothills basks the rare Canyon Treefrog. This majestic creature was spotted near the glimmering stream carved through the Ventana Canyon. This tiny frog is one of Arizona's great wonders.

It’s a photo I took from the window of our bus as my high school swim team was coming back after a very successful meet. Even though the quality is not amazing, I believe the composition, contrast, and even the slight blur adds to a very aesthetic look that pleases the eye.
