We spent our first 4th July as Las Vegas residents being treated to hundreds of firework displays around the valley just as a big thunder storm rolled in around the mountains surrounding the Las Vegas area. By the time the main show started around Caesars Palace and the Stratosphere, the lightning was getting pretty intense. Eventually, the rain passed through just before the finale.

Luckily I was able to capture a few exposures that showed some of the craziness around us. The photo below is 5 shots from approximately 1 minute of the show.

Out hiking by myself in these crazy groves of trees made for a perfect morning last week. It was almost silent before the rains would begin to move into the area. All I would hear would be the slight rustling of leaves on the trees and the occasional sound of a creature scurrying by along the ground. And every direction I looked, this is what I would see.
Some people think they are aspen trees … they are Poplar trees and are closely related to the aspen and cottonwood trees. They grow fast and have a lot of commercial uses. They are also voracious for water.

Although this encounter appears viscous, it is just a friendly reminder of the pecking order within this pack of wolves.

The Old Williamson County Jail – Georgetown, Texas

312 Main Street circa 1888. Building cost $22,000. The lawlessness of the frontier days prompted county fathers to commission this imposing fortress-like jail. It housed prisoners until 1989; including Tom Young, the last man hanged in Williamson County (1906), and infamous serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, who was sentenced to death for a Williamson County murder.

The building is still in use today, as county offices. Workers claim binders fall from the shelves and their lunches fly off desks on a routine basis
