I still go, "Holyyyy sh****" when I get to the end of this video. Now that monsoon is wrapping up I can start work on all these amazing timelapses to put into my project!

This couple made an appearance east of Flagstaff at the Cosnino Rd & I-40 exit. There were a bunch of guys off to the right unloading fresh railroad tracks while all this stuff was flashing. I'm in window mounted camera mode for these good times.

A beach pebble, full of ammonites, was hit with a hammer and the weakest spot split in half, revealing its beautiful contents.

If the noise and fear in your timeline is getting too much, spend a moment in my photograph and breathe in, let your shoulders drop. The early autumn mist in Padley Gorge on Tuesday cast its spell on me, and I hope it brings you a little calm too.

This is still one of the most extraordinary experiences I’ve ever had. Around 5:30 in the morning, while I was alone on a beach in Costa Rica, I came across a stranded dolphin. About six vultures were surrounding it, waiting for a chance to peck at its eyes, while the dolphin kept making sounds as if it were crying out for help.
If anyone thinks I was weak for being scared in that moment, try imagining having to move a slippery 275-pound animal while it’s panicking and you know its life is at risk.
It was a chaotic yet extraordinary moment that left a lasting mark on my life. Throughout the entire experience, I felt like the dolphin was trying to communicate with me. I don’t really know how to explain it, but I could sense its trust and, in some way, its gratitude that I was there and had helped keep it safe from the vultures.
A real-life experience I’ll never forget. 🐬🙏

When a disaster unfolds, Watch Duty reporters closely monitors radio traffic, wildfire and river cameras, and evacuation reports. Even from a screen, we're closely tied to every community we serve.
Traci has felt this firsthand, especially when covering on the recent fires in Colorado, her home state. On every wildfire and major flood, reporters like Traci are looking out for you. 💛
Two inns stood on the same road.
One was large, beautiful, and half-empty.
The other was small, simple, and almost always fully booked.
A traveler finally asked the small innkeeper his secret.
“Why are people always choosing your inn?”
The innkeeper smiled.
“Because I turn people away.”
The traveler laughed.
“That’s your secret?”
“If I can’t serve someone well, I don’t take them in. The other inn tries to please everyone. I focus on serving the right people exceptionally well.”
Years later, the small inn had waiting lists while the larger inn struggled to survive.
Success often comes from knowing what to say no to. Protecting quality is more valuable than chasing everything.

Here's the second shot of sunset lightning I captured at the San Xavier Mission south of Tucson on August 28. Those sun rays over the church were wild. If you're wondering what the proper term is for those rays that also make an appearance on the state flag, they're called "crepuscular rays." Now you know. #azwx
The brain does not make consciousness any more than a radio makes the song.
Damage the radio and the music seems to die.
Repair is not resurrection.
You were the broadcast before there were ears to claim it, and you remain the broadcast after every skull is dust.
Your thoughts are not private.
Every mind is a node in one vast field, and what you call intuition is data from other versions of you.
You are not thinking alone.
You are thinking as one cell in a cosmic brain that is only now beginning to wake.
Listen.
That voice is us.
