“For the man sound in body and serene of mind there is no such thing as bad weather; every sky has its beauty, and storms which whip the blood do but make it pulse more vigorously” ~ George Gissing

Caught this storm in the distance as we were finishing up our hike on the North Loop Trail at McDowell Mountain Regional Park located northeast of Phoenix....fortunately the heaviest rain held off until we made it to the jeep :-)

Have a great Wednesday...I appreciate all your visits & comments!!!!

Have a great Tuesday....and as always, thanks for stopping by to visit :-)
