Peter and I hit the ground running after picking him up at the airport the evening before. The weather pattern didn’t give us anything to cheer about… so we used the first day as a travel day and landscape shoot day. We spent almost three hours at Monument Rocks – located between Oakley and Scott City, Kansas. This little “off the beaten path” gem not only made for some excellent photo ops… but we also got to enjoy it almost entirely by ourselves. During the three hours – one family of four stopped for about 10 minutes and one farmer drove by. We saw a little bit of distant lightning with a small supercell storm that formed in extreme northwest Kansas just after dark… just enough to say that we didn’t thunderstorm bust on the day.
