This month, I made two trips to the Eastern Plains. While driving one of the country roads this last weekend, I could not help to stop at this location!<\/p>\n

During the earlier trip, I stopped by a watering hole along county road CR-81 (or was it CR-94?), where approaching storm clouds moved over the plains. Soon after stopping, cattle approached, probably out of curiosity.<\/p>\n

The stormy clouds were spectacular, with alternating dark and light bands of tones.<\/p>\n

During the second trip, I stopped at this abandoned homestead on another county road. By this time the storm clouds had intensified.<\/p>\n

I have visited this same house last year, where there was an abandoned piano inside.<\/p>\n

While making photographs, several Mountain Bluebirds followed me around. They were nesting in the roof timbers.<\/p>\n

In the late afternoon this last trip, I shot some video footage. After the soon disappeared behind the mountains, the sky was lit with pink colors of the setting sun. I made this panorama of the sunset with my iPhone before heading back home.<\/p>\n
