A storm sneaks up from the south and illuminates the radio towers on top of South Mountain. This is a 20 second long exposure capturing the sotrm in the background and the busy roadway in the foreground.

The National Trail runs 14.5 miles along the spine of South Mountain. I've hiked different sections of this trail numerous times but never the whole thng and never this section which closely follows the road as it winds it's way toward Dobbins Lookout.

I've been dying to learn night sky photography, and last night @the_power_of_failing, @mmmly and @travlife took me out to give it a try. So thankful for friends who share their time and talent.

It’s that time of year where @bethbouchard sells her flower crowns to pay for all my gas station candy habits. Anyone see any good areas lately for flowers?
