Stormy skies from the road

I watch the sky quite frequently.

I am fascinated by the shapes of clouds and landscapes.

03 Stormy sky over AZ centennial sign along SR89 N (1024x543)

In fact with monsoon thunderstorms visiting Arizona almost every August day the changes are constant and endless.

Many recent posts have included some excellent stormy skies.

05 Storm building over Mt Humphreys I40 E AZ (1024x768)

Storm building over Mount Humphreys I40 East near Flagstaff, AZ

Been on the road a lot lately where I like the views with much sky.

06 Sunset Yarnell AZ (1024x528)

Plus I haven’t posted a colorful Yarnell sunset in many months and caught this one during a recent visit there while visiting the dentist for what seems like the 100th time.

The sun streaks through

Sure looked like the rain would fall before we got back to Berta’s.  Even though the sun shone through.

And tonight we have a wonderful steady female rain after a magnificent light show with sun streaks.  Smells so delightful.

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…

My wheeleastate

I am currently…

…boondocking somewhere in southern Arizona.  In the area, give a shout.
