  • Virgin River sunset, Gold Butte Territory<br />
Historic and beautiful Gold Butte is bounded on the west by the Virgin River, slowly meandering through the Mormon Mesa in northern Clark County. Water is the lifeblood of the western desert and in this image, that flowing life reflects a brilliant sunset in the spring of the year. Home to desert tortoises, coyote, quail, road runners, petroglyphs and the elusive but well-adapted Bundy cattle herd, miners, hunters, hikers and photographers now freely roam the fascinating geology of the desert range.
    Virgin River sunset, Gold Butte Terr..tory
  • Here’s a cocky little fellow in the Mojave desert of  Clark County, Nevada perched atop a Mojave yucca. He always leads the way with Mrs. Quail and the kids following, sometimes running ahead and finding an elevated lookout so he scout for food and water. When he finds it, he throws his head back to clear his throat and closes his eyes and let’s loose.

  • Literally 30 seconds after making this exposure, lightning stuck where my tripod had stood. When the monsoonal flows come to the Mojave desert in southern Nevada, storms like this spring up frequently and with little warning. This image (a single exposure) displayed all the mighty power that nature can bring, with sheets of rain, multiple bolts and deafening thunder. Thirty mile-per-hour wind drove the storm directly at me while I set up my gear and tested the exposure, then began making exposures to capture the action. Never underestimate the power of nature . . . and always be prepared.
    Power From on High
  • Storms in the western desert arise in an instant, with furious wind and rain in cloudbursts. And so often, especially at sunset, the storm will break. A narrow window of light will appear at the desert horizon between heaven and earth. This rainbow appeared at a perfect moment in time, offering redemption from danger and fear, bringing instead, peace and hope.
