273) Valley of Fire II (the moons)


There have been some really great photo opportunities of the moon lately.  Above is the crescent moon in the western sky just after sunset.  Directly below is of the full moon in the eastern sky just before sunset, and the third shot is of the lunar eclipse in the eastern sky at sunrise.




 There is a really great mountain right out my backdoor that I love to photograph.  Above is during a full moon that lit up the mountain beautifully.  I have an angle looking west towards it, so it often gets interesting colors during sunset on cloudy days.



I woke up early on a day off to find low hovering clouds that seemed more suited for the pacific northwest.  A very interesting thing to see out here in the desert.  








I have been seeing a lot of big horn sheep lately, but haven't been able to get too many photos.  Some things are nice to just sit back and enjoy.
