Finding Barrel Cactus below the Superstition Mountain Peaks, is like finding treasure, especially when they bloom in spring, turning vivid shades of pink and red. This is the time of year when this part of the Arizona desert looks more like a blooming botanical garden, and is a great time for photographers to explore, as in a very short while, this particular area once again becomes the kingdom of the rattlesnake.

Dropped my dad off at LAX this morning & took some shots in my favorite spot. I was lucky I did not get rained on!

Guess what I did this morning? Yes, I got up and froze my butt off for this shot that thousands have taken before me. It was still an awesome sunrise to witness.

Southwest Airlines recently unveiled a new aircraft livery that includes the new logo, a heart, on the belly.

Rare visitor with a very colorful scheme! This B737-300 with winglets is ex Southwest Airlines (not so hard to see) N361SW. It's now going to Nigerian operator Air Peace, and arrived here in Fortaleza for a very quick fuel stop before heading to Africa on delivery flight. Very cool to see the Southwest scheme here, even if it's just the basic colors. Nice to see this Classic 737 having a second life!

A classic Southwest sunset just outside Phoenix Az. This has to be one of the most beautiful areas in the US. Some people say it's just desert, I say, spend a few evenings there and you'll change your mind.

Thanks for stopping by

Follow me as I live and travel around the continential U.S., Canada, and Alaska in a mountain-climbing, rock-crawling 4x4 truck with a rooftop tent. Subscribe at www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgJLVgykZfw0_APr7f2ZCA

Meet my Overlanding 4x4 manual transmission truck! I’ll head out into the wilderness areas of the continental US, Canada, and Alaska in this rock-crawling overland vehicle that now has a rooftop tent made in South Africa. The only reason I will need to stop is for gas. It is a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road truck that has been outfitted by the good folks at the Asheville Vehicle Outfitters in Fletcher, North Carolina. During the week and a half that I was there, I also took three days of intensive hands-on, one-on-one, off-road training with Mike of Morrison’s Outdoor Adventures and I participated in a trail ride to the top of Windrock mountain (one stretch of the trail was rated difficult, which is putting it mildly).

I'm now back in Illinois to clear out my house, which has a buyer. (I also sold the Corvette, Jaguar, and Pacifica vehicles.) I’ll spend some time in southwestern Florida with family and do some exploring down there this winter… before heading up into Canada and Alaska next spring. During the winter of 2021, I’ll camp in the southwest before heading into Nova Scotia in the spring of 2022. Besides taking pictures with the DSLRs, I have a Mavic Air 2 drone and a GoPro 8 Black to chronicle my adventures. I hope you will follow along on my youtube channel!

HFF and have a great weekend...

While I deeply appreciate the allure across our global offerings, it is the captivating beauty of the Desert Southwest that resonates with me most profoundly. It reverberates within the depths of my being. Perhaps it's because this is where my photography career started. Our 2024 Utah Badlands dates are out. See you in May or September...in the wild!
