| I was touring the
deserts of the American southwest. The area was being drenched with
days of heavy rain. The desert plants are quick to react when the rains
arrive. I could already see hints of green bursting from the desert
sand. The red sandstone was washed clean with vibrant colors. I was
eager to see Monument Valley until the transmission on my T-Bird
decided to quit. I missed sunset that night. I decided to return
the next day in a rent a car. The full moon came up that next night. It
made me thankful my trip had been delayed a day. Thunderstorms arrived
that evening as well. They provided an unforgettable display to add to
the experience of sunset. This picture went on the be featured by
the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation as a poster in 2009.
Some things happen in their own time and place. |
