The storm clouds were playing tricks here. The setting sun bounced off of the cloud cover. I like the way the lower altitude clouds are backlit.

 

Hungry for cotton candy?

 

There was one hell of a lightning storm shortly after this was shot. It lasted about an hour. Most of the lightning was cloud-to-cloud which seems like the norm out here in the Mojave. It was like somebody was sitting in the back seat firing a strobe.

 

I found a dead rattlesnake so it may be that the rattlesnake gods were just giving it a good send off. The snake had a seven-segment rattle. Does that mean it's 7 years old? The scales were mostly tan and brown with some pink ones. First time I've seen coral pink scales on a rattler. I see very few rattlers out here.

 

When, before a sunset or a mountain... you pause and say, ‘ah’: that is participation in divinity.
