<p>I was out of town last week for my "real" job with a software company. We have a regional office (was the headquarters until we were acquired) in Taos, NM which is a fun place to visit and shoot some photos every now and then. <br>

It was stormy there most afternoons and I grabbed this shot in the Plaza after a deluge. <br>

Saturday night I camped in some nearby mountainous forest with my family. It was some great close family time after being away. We also lost a dear friend in a cycling accident on Friday and retreating with the family to the wilderness just felt like the right thing to do. <br>

I solo hiked up a couple of miles from camp to this waterfall for sunset. No takers for accompaniment but it was a beautiful peaceful evening and setting to shoot and be with my thoughts.<br>

Then we had a nice clear starry night. <br>

<p>Matt, so sorry for your loss. Haven't been fishing, shooting, nor posting much lately. My wife let me out for Father's Day and luck was with me: a big rainbow trout (Salmo Gardnieri).</p><div></div>

<p>My brother got to go too. Another fish on.</p><div></div>
