Skywatch Friday, Death Valley


Approaching storm.
Looking across Death Valley from Badwater Basin.
It doesn't often rain in Death Valley, but I managed to visit when it did!
The wind was blowing up to 50mph across the dry lakebed. I couldn't hold the camera steady because of the gusty winds. The next night and the following day it rained in Death Valley and snowed in the surrounding mountains.

SkyWatch Friday, Zion


Early April in Zion National Park, Utah
Clear, blue desert skies.
Sunny days and blustery, cold nights in Zion Canyon.
Abundant waterfalls and a muddy, brown Virgin River.

Waterfall at Lower Emerald Pool

A deep blue sky above a waterfall.
Sky, rock, water...
Virgin River, Zion, Utah.


Late afternoon sky.

Skywatch Friday San Ramon



Rain, rain, rain!

A view of the sky thru the moonroof of my car...
It has been raining all day long in the San Francisco Bay Area.

A brief respite from the rain happened late this afternoon.
A welcome relief as South San Ramon Creek
was quite full with rushing water.
Water rushes into the culverts below
the cross valley trail.
The roar of the water drowns out your voice....

Skywatch Friday San Ramon



I heard these geese honking when they were a block away.
They spend the Winter in the relative warmth of San Ramon.


Just after a Winter sunset in San Ramon.
