February Fun

I hope you are all having a good February.  My heart goes out to all of you in the cold climates with the terrible weather you have been having.  We have been enjoying a warmer than usual winter here in Arizona. It supposed to be in the 80 degree range this weekend.  I cannot wait!
We have two fun events coming up this weekend in Lake Havsu City, AZ.  One is the Winter Blast Pyrotechnic event which has 3 nights of fireworks showing off all the newest fireworks.  The other event is the annual Rock A Billy Reunion Car Show which features 50's Pin Up Girls, lots of Rat Rods as well Streetrods.  For more information just click on the link below:

Coming up in the next couple months will be the Wild Flowers blooming in the desert.  This varies every year depending on how much rain we get.  Some years it is quite spectacular.  The cactus flowers bloom in April too so those are fun to shoot.  Here is link to the Arizona Highways website with some examples of how beautiful the desert can be in the Spring:

Here is a cool Blog that one of my Facebook Photography Buddies found.  It is written by a British gal about traveling on the old Route 66.  There is a lot of interest in traveling Route 66 here in the US as well as in other countries.
