Breaking Through the Clouds

Clouds_Moon-0844

During the first hour of the night, the clouds repeatedly covered the moon. But the moon kept peeking through, kept climbing upward, until it broke loose from the realm of clouds, and lit up the sky shouting to those walking in the night, “No cloud can cover you forever.” — Steven Norman

I was trying to photograph this man who was so focused on his phone that he was missing the beauty of the morning, when birds decided to make my day by photobombing my image. Birds are almost always welcome in my photos.

Transient leaves change colors, fade, fall, and die.
Enduring tree trunks stand exposed, erect, and live again.

FreemansMill-9454w

We have had lots or rain recently so the rivers are swollen. This really made Freeman’s Mill a nice place to photograph. The water had been much higher, but this afternoon it was down to where the falls are visible and I could climb down to the ground to shoot it.

If you visit Las Vegas, you will want to visit the Valley of Fire. It is about an hour away in Valley of Fire State Park, 29450 Valley of Fire Road, Overton, NV 89040.

This set of images shows just a few of the many red sandstone formations in the park. There were others, but during our visit the temperature was around over 106 degrees, so we decided not to visit of the formations that required hiking.

Another place beautiful place to see red sandstone formations is Red Rock Canyon which is located at 3205 NV-159, Las Vegas, NV 89161
