Spring 2026 Orange Tree Blossom Photographs (And an Update on the Tree’s Health)
Hi everyone! In spring, the orange tree in my yard did something my relative and I didn’t think would ever happen again: It grew green leaves and blossoms. The orange tree, which is around 15 to 20 years old, was suffering from major problems. It wouldn’t grow leaves and any fruit it grew was not good. It was in such bad shape that my relative, whom I live with, was planning on getting rid of it. Before then, he decided to try something to see if the tree can be saved. It ended up working and it saved the tree! (The tree was suffering from lack of nutrients and correct…

2026 Spring Orange Tree Blossom Photographs
Hi everyone! I had to take a few days off posting this week to focus on offline things. During this time, I realized I didn’t publish a post with photographs of my relative’s orange tree blossoms! This year is a big year for the tree. It is blooming more blooms than it has been for years. This is due to some changes my relative made in caring for it, including adding fertilizer. Now it is happy, green, and was full of blooms earlier this year! I enjoy taking pictures of the plans my relative and I own, so I wanted to share some of the orange tree blossom photographs I…

October 2025 iPhone Sunset Photographs- Part 2
Hi everyone! It’s time for the second post in my two post iPhone sunset photography series. In this series, I wanted to talk about photographs I took in October 2025 of a desert sunset. The first photographs, which I already talked about in a post here, is of a saguaro cactus with the sun setting behind it. For this post, I will talk about the photographs I took of the same saguaro cactus on the same day, but from a different angle. At the time I took these photographs, I wanted to see how well an iPhone’s photos can be edited in a new photo editing software I was trying…

October 2025 iPhone Sunset Photographs- Part 1
Hi everyone! In October 2025, I decided to try to use my iPhone to take some photographs of a sunset and the desert. Prior to this, I was using my iPhone for a few months to take photographs of nature. I did this just to know the difference between my camera (A Cannon Rebel T7) and my iPhone. (I already knew my camera was (And still is) better at taking photographs, but I still wanted to take pictures and compare them in new editing software I was thinking of using) On this day, I decided to use the iPhone to take picture and not my camera as well. After editing…

Cactus Flowers- November 2025 Part 2
Hi everyone! I like to go on hikes on land my relative owns. The desert there is really pretty and makes for great photography. During one of these hikes in November 2025, I discovered two of the cacti on the land were blooming or were about to bloom. I really like to take photographs of the desert in the area, so I decided to take photographs of the cacti and their blooms. I didn’t have my favorite camera, a Cannon Rebel, with me. Instead, I used my iPhone. The photographs turned out pretty good sans for a critique of how I actually photographs the blooms (Maybe I could’ve done more…

Cactus Flowers- November 2025 Part 1
Hi everyone! In November 2025, I discovered one of the barrel cacti near where I like to walk and take photographs of began to bloom. I like seeing the cacti in the area with blooms, so I took some photos of it. A few days after taking these photographs, I took some more photographs of a different cactus in bloom, but I’m saving those photographs for a different post. I used an iPhone 6s to take all the photographs in this post. I like the modern day iPhone cameras, but I prefer my Cannon Rebel. Sadly, I didn’t have it with me that day. So the iPhone must do.

Arizona Desert Rainbow- November 2025
Hi everyone! In November, there was a rain storm that created a double rainbow. I was sick that day so I was inside all day long. Yet, I felt good enough to go outside and take some photos of the double rainbow. I took the photographs on my iPhone. I would get better photographs of the rainbow if I used my normal camera, a Cannon Rebel T7. I didn’t think of grabbing it until the rainbow disappeared. This was what my brain and ability to think was like that day!

Discovering One of My Favorite Photogenic Cacti Has Died- Cactus 2
Hi everyone! Well, the time has come to talk about a second cactus that has died. This time, it is a saguaro cactus. This cactus was my favorite saguaro cactus to take sunset photographs of during the late fall, winter, and early spring. The sun would be perfectly positioned behind it, making the best sunset photographs. Earlier this year, I discovered the cactus had finally died. I wasn’t surprised it died because it looked like it has issues for the past three or so years. Still, it made me upset and very sad to see that it has finally passed away.
