Monsoon Season

It is officially monsoon season here in Phoenix which means that on top of the 115 F temps we also have huge wind and dust storms along with thunder storms that bring flash flood conditions. Unfortunately the lightning also causes fires in the area. It is amazing, though, to watch the lightning and see the dust roll in. It also results in great sunsets after the dust storms. These storms cause many accidents due to lack of visibility while driving so it is best to stay off of the roads if you can. Here are a few pictures from here in Phoenix during the Monsoon this season.

Travel

I have really wanted to travel lately to see other parts of the world. As I was looking at travel information I came across these pictures that make me a little unsure about my traveling desires. Actually I just thought these picts were great so I wanted to share them.
