They're all awesome, but the second one is the most dramatic.

I like the storm clouds over the Lincoln National Forest..a lot of depth can be seen here. Great work.

Debi said...

I love the pastels in the first one,
but the second one is so dramatic, so I can't choose. Your photo's are amazing!
Hugs,

I love the fire clouds. WOW! I thought you seriously photoshopped fire in there for a moment. Amazing skies you have there in NM. I hope to visit there someday to see some gorgeous sunsets like that.

Lisa, your photos are all superb, but just for colours alone Red Sky in the morning. I love reading your blog, very thought provoking sometimes and always of interest.

Your last picture is my favorite, probably because I just love reflections.

Wow How to choose! I think "Stormy Dawn Skies" stands out for me. It has a good blend of silent stoic peace from the foreground, and rolling turmoil in the skies. Thanks for sharing!

Love the second shot, looks like the earth is on fire!! Great job on them all. :)

lisa said...

Very awesome as usual!

Sherri said...

I love the third one. There is something compelling for me about stormy clouds that suspend themselves over mountain tops. Stunning photo.

flowerweaver said...

I would have to say the acrobats at the state fair steal the show! Of course I love all NM landscapes, but your last image at the botanical garden is also wonderful. I love your new header photo!

Crystal said...

Wow there are some good shots there! I love the second one of fire, its amazing! although I do like the first on was well, hard to decide.

Shirley said...

Well done Lisa. The first two do it for me, love the color and the drama.

Leah Fry said...

They're all gorgeous, Lisa, but I like the sky reflected in the water the best.

Maery Rose said...

Hard to pick but I think the Stormy Dawn Skies. Second would be the people hanging upside down. I know just how they must feel.

Meagan said...

Great photos! The one up top that looked so much like fire took my breath away!

Vaquerogirl said...

Love them all! But probably the first one is my favorite.

Hi Lisa,

They are ALL incredible but my favorite is the picture of Storm Clouds Over Lincoln National Forest because you can see the terrain, the storm clouds and the sky above the storm clouds. Really a great picture.

Melanie said...

Hmmmm...I really like them all, but the one titled "Reflections" is my favorite. There is just something about a quiet lake, with its glass-like surface, reflecting its surroundings. : )

Deb said...

Storm Clouds Over Lincoln National Forest. The cholla and the mountains truly look like they are UNDERWATER, with the clouds being the waves. Fantastic!
