Description
So with a forecast of scattered storms I figured I would venture down to Steptoe Butte and see what I could get. It is usually hit and miss. The storms can wash all the light out and create a lot of wind or they can produce some one of a kind dramatic scenes. I of course was hoping for the later. It is also wildflower season so I was hoping to work a few shots of them into the foreground. When I first arrived, the wind was crazy and there was a cell blowing through. I would lucky enough to catch a partial rainbow but it wasn't as dramatic as I hoped. As the evening continued there were some spots of good light but nothing "out of this world". The bigger issue was the wind wasn't dying down and the chance of capturing the wildflowers was pretty much zero. With the conditions not getting better I decided to pack up and head home. As I was driving around a corner towards the Northeast I was slapped in the face by this amazing scene. I frantically looked for some good spots to capture this this. Parking the car and jumping out running through rain drenched prickly shrubs, mud, and even and ant hill trying to grab a shot. The wind was still back so I had to try to work some magic to make sure the foreground wasn't blurry. After I worked as fast as I could possibly go get some images before the color left.

I packed up and headed for home. It was only after I relaxed a little and reflected back did I realize what I had witnessed. This was either natures tribute to Prince with a show of "Purple Rain" or Prince himself making an appearance from his "world of never ending happiness" in a way only Prince could, eclectic and flamboyant . Either way, this was definitely all about Artist know as Prince.
