Not everything needs a fancy photo to remember a moment by. When you pull the car over to snap a edgy pic, what’s the point? To show off on Flickr and such? There’s an obvious answer. Yes.  Which is why I really wanted to pull over to snap a photo of the moon rising over the Central Washington area wind turbines above the Columbia River. Next time, if you want to be in control of your photo destiny, be the driver, not the passenger.  But look for a decent highway turn off first. Otherwise you’ll pull off on the shoulder which may not be safe.

We drove right into a dust storm of sorts. Not quite a haboob, but enough dust and wind to merit a thorough lens cleaning this week. 

We stopped at a rest area along I-90 to walk around and get some extra steps into our FitBit. I geared up in a hat and big jacket to block the wind.

To get the shot I wanted of an irrigation structure disappearing into the dust, I had to jump one unfortunate obstacle and cross a random road next to a field.

Mike shot the above photo from behind. He captioned it perfectly: “…And @blushresponse was never heard from again.”

Unfortunately for him, I returned with the above photo.
