This was the boardwalk from the beach house in St. Augustine,FL we had the chance to stay at it for a week. Went out every day to get the sunrise shots. Nice to see a sunrise with very little obstructions on the horizion.

Every two years, the United States Air Force opens its gates to the local community and hosts an open house on Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Arizona.  The base itself houses brave men and women training to fly and maintain war fighter planes and on any given day, the local residents of the area may hear the rumble of greatness surging across the clear desert sky.  On this weekend, the public is welcomed in to get up close to the massive planes of the past and present.  There are also aerial performances throughout the day, culminating with the crowd favorite performance of those six pilots who fly the F-16 Thunderbirds and form the U.S. Air Force Thunderbird Aerial Demonstration Team.

It is a rare occasion that the water is this still at the docks. I took advantage of the absence of waterfowl and boats.

Nestled between the Miracle Mile shopping district and the stunning beauty of Lake Michigan is Wrigleyville, USA.  It is the home of the Chicago Cubs, the loveable losers who draw among the most loyal fans in baseball.  The stadium itself is one of the crown jewels of Major League Baseball.  If the brick walls could talk, they would whisper stories of triumph and of heartbreak, muffled by the lush green ivy that pronounces the coming of summer.  Can you think of a better place to spend a warm July day?

By far my favorite car of this past weekend’s car show. Not sure how it finished in the voting but I loved this car. It sat so low I couldn’t get down low enough to get an angle on it. The airbrush detail was fantasic…

Henderson Days – “Classic Car” Show

It is hard to believe that a short two hours drive from Phoenix up the Beeline highway dwell the majestic pines of the Mogollon Rim communities. Christopher Creek is an oasis for desert dwellers, an escape from the everyday grind and a great place to slow down and enjoy the surroundings and simple pleasures of life. During a winter’s stay at the cozy Pioneer’s Cabin at the Christopher Creek Lodge, we could hear the soothing almost whispered roar of the creek and the mellow chirp of the Blue’s Jay from our back porch. Chances are that your cell phone will not work here and chances are even better that once you arrive, it won’t bother you one single bit.

Awe inspiring is the best way to describe a trip into the Inner Space Caverns near Round Rock, Texas. The publicly accessible tour of the cavern is about one half mile long, a great “smaller” cavern if there is a way to minimize the greatness of such an enormous sight.  An enthusiastic guide leads the group and tries to explain what is mind boggling, hundreds of thousands of years of dynamic rock, minerals, and water that have created and continue to perfect earth’s natural artwork. Each room is different from the next and where the light ends, your imagination begins to dream up what still lies beyond in the undiscovered darkness.

I wanted to capture a photo looking up at all the pink galss while at the Adventure Dome in Las Vegas. Hadn’t planned on archiving blur when the coaster cars came by but it adds to the scene!!
