The weather has begun to warm up here in the Southwestern United States. Hot days are ahead and it has me thinking about summer thunderstorms.

It is artists coming together to create something beautiful for the city. I just recently started photographing it and I knew that I wanted to show off some of the beautiful murals we have here in Phoenix.
Read MoreIt is interesting what you can find when you are out exploring. A few weeks ago I was walking through the woods and happened upon this downed branch in the middle of my path.
