Skies darkened quickly across the western Texas Panhandle landscape, as what once was a couple of supercells sent a blast of outflow air southward. I love this kind of light with tiered shelf clouds, but as in most such instances, had little time to stay and shoot before the storm could overtake my position with fierce gusts and wind-driven hail. This storm would chase us out of a couple more photo stops and all the way into Amarillo. The sign signifies the LIT Ranch, named after the first three letters of its founder’s last name, Littlefield. Like many huge High Plains ranches, its domain has been cut into pieces since its 1800s origin, but at 60,000 acres, the spread still covers almost 1/4 of its original area astride the Canadian River.
