Amarillo's white Christmas!
I was pleasantly surprised to wake to a lovely blanket of snow covering the ground this Christmas morning. What a lovely gift for a photographer!
After church - I took a solitary walk through John Stiff park to celebrate Christmas - and take a few photos. It was a wonderfully gorgeous stroll.
Enjoy!

Mother Nature's Fireworks ...
Looks like mother nature jumped the gun by a few hours and lit up the Amarillo Sky with a show of her own. Although the storm brought much needed rain to the city - it sure took it's sweet time getting here!

Crawford Ranch wild fire -5-30-2011
Click to enlarge:
1500 acres burned - 2200 acres affected. It was creeping up on main power to Borger, Pampa and Fritch and the tankers (2) from Abilene nipped it in the bud.
We love our fire fighters - but I'd rather be chasing storms. Pray for rain.
