TWO LP Beauties Near Hope, New Mexico – June 3, 2022

By June, it was becoming painfully apparent that the season in the Central and Southern Plains was not long for this world.

With strong drought conditions present, that created a dusty mess of a day which made chasing storms…difficult. Still, despite what I thought were…
