With all the storms across the midwest, it made me recall the storms that would strike Florida, some of which allowed me to still take my camera out and capture how they transform the sky into, in this case, a palette of electric pink. This is the view along the seawall of the apartment complex I lived at in St. Petersburg, Florida. On calm days manatees and dolphins could be seen from this spot, but this evening a powerful and beautiful thunderstorm dominated the horizon.
I first met Cheryl at a special event where I had a table displaying my photo and drone work. She won a door prize at the event! Afterward, she came by my table and we talked about making new headshots for her. Being a good networking and business person, I followed up with her a few times and I was happy when she made her appointment to visit the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for a professional headshot photo session!

The most interesting period of the 24 hours we call a day, for me, is the transition from day to night. Surprisingly, this is something that can be captured in a photograph. The blue sky of day first turns pink (as seen above) in twlight before sinking to complete black at night. What if the Earth always faced the sun as the Moon always faces the Earth? What type of creatures would have evolved on a world with constant sunlight? Everything on Earth is so cyclical. I wonder about a world where everything is constant.
