ARIZONA SPRING 2016 - DAY EIGHT


TUESDAY, MARCH 29 (DAY 8)
The wind continued to blow through the night, and the temperature dropped. We had some precipitation during the night and I thought it was rain! Well, my thought processes were slightly befuddled, as when I emerged from the tent I discovered that we had had about an half inch of snow, and it was still snowing!! I looked forward to photographing with snow as an element in the pictures.

The Photographer Setting Out

This area is a photographers dream in that there are so many different composition possible. I spent almost three hours just wandering around and creating different compositions.

Finally we called it a morning and returned to our campsite for some breakfast and coffee. We then relaxed and took a nap until early afternoon when we once again went out with our cameras.
The afternoon was not as windy and the sun prevailed allowing for some more images. In hindsight I wish I had moved on more to another area for some different views. I know that I never made it to an area which I had visited two years ago. It was still lot of fun.
