Under the Namibian sun, everything comes alive — even the tiny creatures that blend perfectly into the rocks, visible only to a patient traveler’s eye. Nature reveals its beauty in the smallest details, if only you pause to look.

Post Monsoon.

The forecast has been hinting at thunderstorms and heavy rain for the past few days. Storms in the Pacific Ocean, specifically Priscilla and Raymond, have been projected to throw plenty of moisture into the Sonoran Desert. So Earl and I did a little storm chasing yesterday.

Like most storms in these parts, the storms ended up being mostly unorganized, spotty, and at least in this round, moisture heavy without a lot of lightning. We still made the most of it and had fun going from target area to target area south of Tucson. We didn’t capture much in the way of anything photo worthy, but we did encounter quite a few heavy downpours.

I’m hoping this evening might spark Mother Nature in a way to give us a lightning show.

It's a rainy, cloudy day. My knees hurt. Glad for the rain and hoping there's not much flooding.

A camel caravan crossing the desert feels like a journey back in time – the soft sound of hooves on the sand and the grandeur of rocky cliffs make everything slow down. Here, the desert tells its most beautiful stories.

Autumn Beauty.

After a fairly hectic day, I took a few moments to enjoy some of the beauty of the desert here in the beginnings of October. It was nice to get some fresh air and walk around the lawn and neighborhood at sunset. I found the experience very calming.

Also photos taken with my iPhone 16 Pro without any post-processing added.

In the world of red rocks, even the smallest creatures become part of nature’s grand mosaic. The gray grasshopper blends into the desert shades, a perfect example of camouflage.

Late Season.

A monsoon fueled thunderstorm is passing through as I type this. I was out watching the lightning and enjoying the rumble of thunder for a while, but then the wind and rain picked up from the west. To keep my sanity, I sheltered next to the wall of the house so I wouldn’t get pelted too bad.

I still felt the need to watch what was going on. I really enjoy storms.

A lone car beneath a majestic desert rock formation – this is the essence of traveling to places where nature takes the lead. Silence, vastness, and endless horizons remind us that we’re part of something greater. This is what freedom on four wheels looks like.

In the vast deserts of Namibia, wild horses roam freely, surviving in one of the harshest environments on Earth. These resilient animals are believed to descend from horses brought by European settlers over a century ago.
