Grand Canyon South Rim, Arizona
We were on our yearly sister trip and my sister Rebecca had never seen the Grand Canyon. We made her close her eyes and led her to the edge. When she opened her eyes her mouth dropped open but nothing came out but tears. She was in awe of Mother Nature before her. A magical moment.

Petrified Forest National Park
This was an amazing day of clouds as we drove the Petrified Forest Rd. We normally hike to get amazing shots but this road was full of pull-offs for the perfect photo ops.

Headed to Flagstaff by way of Sedona, there was a ranger station where we pulled off to take a break. Wow! So glad we did!

Gods Silver Lining
I was in Arizona visiting my Sister and we were on our way home from an exhaustive day of hiking. We were talking about how grateful we were to have each other when all of a sudden Gods Silver Lining appeared in the sky. We almost missed it trying to find a place to pull off, but we did it!

Mission San Xavier del Bac - Tucson Arizona
We woke up before dawn because I wanted to get a sunrise photo but the clouds rolled in. It made for an opportunity to do a black and white photo for a more dramatic and period look.

Salt River Wild Ones
We hiked and drive for miles looking for the mustangs to no avail. The horses were being very evasive that day and decided to try one more spot. There they were taking a late afternoon drink.

Two of three Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes in a "discussion:... no rattling heard just weaving and intertwining. After 8 to 10 minutes one went left, one went right and the third followed the one on the right a few minutes later.
