Sandstorm

West Texas sandstorm

By day and by night the wind will blow in this arid vastness we call the West Texas desert. Sandstorms come and sandstorms go without any sense of pity or care for that which may lay in it's way!

Chicago airport

I make my way through the Chicago airport as I see others like me everywhere rushing along from gate to gate. The winter snow storm has people stranded in airports all over the northern United States.

Amid winter storm angst and butterfly jitters, nothing compares to that return trek home.

The East Coast and Midwest snow storm

As a blanket of snow covers our Winter Wonderland, a peaceful and serene stillness lays adrift our otherwise busy human eyes.

West Texas Freeze

We had an ice storm in the desert that lasted for over three days and in November no less. Everything was frozen over!! Here is a little plant that was not spared!
