I fall apart with all my heart (yeah)
And you could watch from your window (yeah)

And you can watch from your window-Lorde
Walking along Lynx creek before sunset not too long ago, the sun was hitting this large cottonwood tree lighting up the top which was reflected perfectly in the creek.
I used a 2 stop GND filter and 3 raw exposures for the HDR.

"Watson Lake is one of two reservoirs at the Granite Dells, in Prescott, Arizona, that was formed in the early 1900s when the Chino Valley Irrigation District built a dam on Granite Creek. The City of Prescott bought the reservoir and surrounding land in 1997 to preserve it as recreational land. Local rockclimbers use the granite cliffs above and adjacent to the lake for top-roping and lead climbing. The lake is also the home of TriCity Prep Rowing Crew, a local high school team and only rowing team in Northern Arizona.

"Located about four miles from downtown Prescott, Watson Lake offers a variety of outdoor activities for everyone. Boating enthusiasts will find convenience with two boat launches and options for canoe and kayak rentals. Fishing is a delight with carp, catfish, crappie, and largemouth bass swimming in the lake. If bird watching is your passion, head to the nearby Watson Woods Riparian Preserve, endorsed by the Audubon society, boasting hundreds of bird species including eagles and pelicans.
"For hikers, the easily accessible Peavine and Iron King Trails, both close to the lake, provide a pleasant and relatively flat terrain. During the summer months, visitors can set up camp at the available campsites, equipped with restrooms, showers, picnic tables, grills, fish cleaning stations, and a boat ramp. "

The major snowstorm that paralyzed most of the United States this week missed Arizona.
But just minutes away from Prescott Valley, at 7,600 feet, Mingus Lake shows a sunrise Photo Definition of "chilly" from the early arrival of winter.
Sorry kids, No Picnic Today on top of Mingus Mountain. (But I did see families enjoying sledding nearby.)
This was the easiest way to show my grandchildren in Florida how much snow I got to hike in this week.

Cervical collar means no driving. No driving means no hiking on trails nor walking beside lakes. So, I resort to struggling through the neighborhood...
This was definitely the coolest lightning photo that I managed to capture in 2014. Needless to say I had to do a double-take when I saw it on the back of the camera!
June 29th, 2015 brought some epic lightning with the monsoons! I was lucky enough to be able to capture it from Antelope Meadows in Prescott Valley. This is a composite of just 5 photos taken over the course of about 3 minutes. I used photoshop to compile the images together. This was an active and loud storm! Winds were gusting up to around 50 mph. I had to hold down my tripod to prevent it from shaking!
This is one of the best sunsets we've had in Prescott in quite a while. Just happened to look out the window....grabbed a camera and ran into the field behind the house. It looked like a big tree of fire in the sky.
I was hoping to catch Lynx creek with a healthy dose of snow after the last storm in February, but there was only a light dusting of snow left by the time I got there after work. There were still some nice clouds floating around which made for a fairly nice sunset though.
A few evenings ago, I was doing some work around the house, when I noticed this strange pink glow developing outside. That usually means that there are some clouds beginning to glow with the usual Arizona sunset colors, and of course, I always have to take look. Every once in a while, when I look to see what the clouds are doing, I'm presented with a jaw dropping display. This was one of those times.
I grabbed my camera and got out into the prairie in time to watch the color grow and grow and grow, then begin to slowly fade. The color lasted much longer than usual and there was still a bunch of pink in the sky long after sunset.....

One of several bolts of lightning I managed to capture during a early evening monsoon thunderstorm. in Prescott Valley AZ
The cold air did not help my coughing and wheezing, and the beauty took my breath away. So I returned home to recover from another wonderful Arizona morning.
The title is taken from a verse in the Bible:
Isaiah 61:3 KJV
"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified."
Still moving and still shaking off my cold so I have not been able to go out and shoot anything new. I am hoping to be done with the move by tomorrow night ... and with the lingering cold.
