The Cabin

Hope everyone had a happy Labor Day weekend! Here is a picture of one of my favorite places, my Grandparent's cabin. This was taken in Northern Arizona.

Dust Storm Front

This was taken in Gilbert, Arizona as a dust storm was rolling into the valley. It was followed by a hard 10 minutes of rain.. and then nothing. Gotta love Arizona storms!

Just Chillin'

I really liked this statue, very original and very Oklahoman. This was taken at the University of Oklahoma located in Norman, Oklahoma.

Flock of what?

This is a picture of a swingset in my parents back yard. Can you make out what type of birds are perched on it? I will give you a hint.. these little green birds are more commonly seen in bird cages in people's homes. My dad discovered them foraging amongst the leaves in his backyard and called me out in time for us both to snap some pictures of them. They were not easy to see at first, you really had to know what you were looking for. Great catch dad!

Here is another shot to show you just how well these little ones were camouflaged.

Have you guessed what they are yet? Lovebirds!! A flock of at least 8 or 9 of them have made my parent's neighborhood their home. Both of these pictures were taken in Mesa, Arizona.

Green Valley

This was taken the same day, but about 30 minutes down the road. I was trying to get to a little hiking path, but the sky was getting dark too fast so I just stopped and snapped some from the road. I loved the greens in the shot and the hills in the background. This was taken in Apache Junction, Arizona.

Storm Clouds

Monsoon season is a great time of year. It brings in some awesome storms. This was snapped in Apache Junction as a storm was blowing in.

I will be posting several photos from this day, I am just really happy with how they turned out. I hope you enjoy!

Evening Dust Storm

This was taken during a walk this evening in Gilbert, Arizona. The dust made it impossible to take with a flash, but it did add an eerie background when taken near streetlamps.
