A Fool Moon…

A Fool MoonIn a full moon, after Thanksgiving 2007. I was trying to photograph a rising moon in Zion National Park, UT. The moon was to rise between 2 mountains in a “V” pattern (it did this the month before).

I guessed wrong upon where the moon was to rise.

I turned around and I was surprised that there was another mountain, moon lit.

Some say, a “Happy Image” just happens, just luck.

A “Happy Image” just doesn’t happen… You need to have the tools of the trade in your hands AND you need to be in the process of using them…

I was happy about this image…

Fireworks (lightning) in Sedona

Lightning in Sedona, AZLiving in Sedona, AZ is a wonderful experience.

On Sunday evening (07/15) I could see by the clouds that we were going to have a “busy” night with lightning and thunder.

Days before this the weather reports stated that we were in the “Monsoon” season. I had never heard of such a thing in the U.S.

Anyway, we had quite a night. A number of us had gathered at the “airport” in Sedona. Its on a mountain and you can see forever, as the saying goes. This is just one of the images I was lucky enough to capture. I’ll be putting together a “slideshow” to show this collection. Its really amazing!

Surgery on Monday!

Posted in arizona, az on May 13th, 2007 by CameraGuy

On Monday at noon west coast time maybe you could spend a moment for someone else and send a prayer. You see, I’m going to have neck surgery. The will be installing a Spinal Cord Stimulator. This is just to “test” weather the Spinal Cord Stimulator will actually work for me (they don’t work for some people).

The Spinal Cord Stimulator will come from “Advanced Bionics“. You can see an interesting video at that link.

Talk to you after the “Procedure”

 

 

105 degrees! They say it’s unseasonably "warm"!

After my Route 66 Project, I ended that trip in Mesa, AZ. I’ve been here since the beginning of December. I’ve wondered when the 100 degree days would begin. Weather has been quite nice. Even, the upper 80 and 90 degree days weren’t all that bad.

So, with these days, I remember when I lived near Sacramento, CA.

I hope your summer is going to be good!
