Storm in the Desert

 

On Monday evening, a storm passed through the Phoenix area with some heavy winds and wonderful rain.  All those clouds roiling around help create a great sunset.

Looking in the opposite direction I saw a rainbow forming.  I made my way outside to see if I could capture it.  It was a great way to end the day.  

Sublime Observations

 

One evening when I was walking to dinner near my hotel in London, some movement up high on this building caught my eye.

I wondered what I was seeing hanging from that open window.  I zoomed in and saw that a bird feeder was hanging from the window and two lovely, green parakeets were feasting on those seeds.

That same evening when I was near the restaurant, I spotted this cute fellow observing what was happening below him from a balcony.  

A few seconds later, he spotted me so I said "hello".  He didn't reply but I did see some tail wagging happening.  

Cute things like this make me smile.  

Theme Day: Vanishing Point

 I love taking photos with a "vanishing point" and I have many in my archives.  Finding one I hadn't posted before was the challenge for me.  It looks like this one might fit the bill.  I took this a few years ago on drive out to Fountain Hills, the town just east of Scottsdale.  I remember seeing this long stretch of desert road and no one else on it so I stopped, went out to the center of the road and snapped the shot low to the ground.  The road just vanishes out there somewhere.
