In the meantime, I thought I’d post a few photos that I’ve taken the last few weeks and also introduce a new photo gallery I’ve created to show off some of my better stuff.

To check it out, just click on this link right here. I’ll be adding a better link up top sometime soon. Hope you like it. You can make it full screen if you want. To navigate around, there is a View Gallery link at the bottom left that brings up sub-folders of image galleries.

Below are some of the shots you’ll see in the gallery. You can click on these and download them as wallpaper if you like any of them.

Epic in my world of course…because I know I can do better with some better tools, but for a little point-and-shoot camera, this is about as good as it gets.

I saw the skies starting to light up over Ocotillo and so I set up shop across Riggs. Of course, the lightning started to get close again, so I jumped in the car and had the tripod up against the inside of the car door and with the window rolled down, I grabbed the shot below.

There is a decent chance it might actually appear on Channel 12 news tonight at 4:30 pm. Also, if you want to help me out a bit, you can go vote it up over on Wunderground.com. I’m hoping it gets to an Approver’s Choice over there, but that’s a tough accomplishment.

Hope you enjoy the photo, I’ll be making a few Wallpapers of this and some others I took, which you can see below the lightning shot. It was also a stunning night with the sun setting and monsoons building, so I grabbed a few other shots.

These are the rest below…a nice sunset, and a few photos that I enhanced just a bit to bring out the colors and darkness.

I probably wont do it very often, but now and then I just see good stuff that I need to pass on.

This was taken in Vojvodina, Serbia on Sunday:

Shane took this one, a guy I’ve come to know on Wunderground. Shot around Kansas City on Sunday. He does amazing photography and you can check out his full site of pictures over here.

This one is kind of a stunner to me…absolutely beautiful.

Anyways, I still love to take weather photos and my newest hobby has been lightning shots. For that that didn’t visit Haboobing the last month, you may have missed out on them. Sadly there haven’t been any storms for a few weeks now, but I think it will pick up this week.

I’ve posted some of my favorites below and you can visit the new gallery I’ve added right here. I’m putting them all on Flickr anyways, so it’s just a stream of photos coming from there.

Most of these are taken south of my house past Hunt Highway out in the desert.

This one is interesting because the lightning allows you to see a fire burning from a previous lightning strike. It was taken looking towards Ahwatukee.

Here is a shot of a thunderstorm from an airplane on my way to San Diego.

Finally, a great sunrise looking towards the Superstitions.
