August 2022 Sunset Photographs
Hi everyone! Earlier this year, I mentioned that the natural desert I love to take photographs is changing. At the time I wrote that post, I believed the desert would change too much for me to photograph it. A few months later, things have changed, but not enough for me to not photograph the desert. I did need to change my camera angles, but I could still photograph the desert! In August, I went to my favorite photographs spots to take a few photographs of the desert and the summer sunset. On the day I took the photographs, the sunset was not as nice as others I photographed in the…

2022 Ocotillo Blossom Photographs- Part 3
After finding the first ocotillo, I continued my walk until I found another ocotillo in blossom. This ocotillo was not the only one I saw in bloom, but it was the only one I felt comfortable taking photographs of. (Too many new homes and other privacy concerns in the background) The sky was still pretty, so it made a beautiful background for the ocotillo.

2022 Ocotillo Blossom Photographs- Part 2
In my previous ocotillo blossom photography post, I mentioned I will be talking about a second ocotillo I took photographs of during a walk in April 2022. Originally, I planned to make that post part 2, but after looking at the photographs I took of the first ocotillo, I realized I had more photographs of the blossoms than I originally thought! So, here are the rest of the photographs of the blossoms from the first ocotillo I encountered during my walk. I will be talking about the second ocotillo in the next photography post.

2022 Ocotillo Blossom Photographs- Part 1
In late April, I went outside for a walk near my relative’s home. I saw an ocotillo was in full bloom, which made me happy to see. I love seeing them bloom. I wanted to take photographs of the desert for a while, but I never had the chance. Since the ocotillo looked so good, and the sky was very pretty, I decided to take a few photographs of it.

2022 Palo Verde Tree Blossoms
Last month, the palo verde trees around my relative’s property bloomed. I tried to take photographs of the trees in the past, but the blossom clusters wouldn’t photograph well. (It had to do with the camera I used and the focus on it) On the day I took these photographs, my camera did pick up the blossoms and made them appear clearly. I’m very happy about the way they turned out, so I decided to share them in a post.

What Happened to My Peach Tree Blossoms? Where They Went and Why I Won’t Be Taking Them Anymore
For many years, I wrote posts about peach tree blossoms. In those posts, I would always have plenty of photographs of the blossoms. According to this blog’s statistics and any social media platform I post the photographs on, they don’t perform well. I never understood why because the blossoms are a beautiful pink flower. So, instead of posting only what people want to see, I would post these photographs just because I enjoy taking them and remembering that year’s beautiful blossoms. This year, I won’t be taking photographs of the trees or posting any new photographs of these blossoms. So, why did I decide to no longer post photographs that…

2022 Mesquite Tree Blossoms
While on a walk around my relative’s property, I discovered the mesquite tree was in full bloom. Even though the mesquite trees do not have as “pretty” blossoms as the palo verde trees, I wanted to take photographs of the blossoms. I didn’t have my favorite camera with me at that time, so some of the photographs are not as clear as others I took in the past. Despite this, this I like the way some of the photographs turned out.

A Serious Talk About My Desert Photography and Why I My Need to Stop Taking Them
It’s been a while since I posted photographs I took in the Arizona desert. For many years, these photographs have always been a part of my blog. Even though I still enjoy taking photographs of the desert, things have changed a lot and there is a likelihood I will no longer be able to take photographs of the desert the way I used to. And it’s due to the area where I like to take photographs in.

The Difference Between Mesquite and Palo Verde Tree Blossoms
Hi everyone! Today’s post is going to be an odd one for this blog. Instead of talking about any of my hobbies that I liked to enjoy talking about online, I decided to write a short post about the differences between Mesquite and Palo Verde tree blossoms. I live in Arizona for a very long time and, despite this and the fact I took botany and agriculture classes focused on desert plants, some of the information I learned fell out of my head. One of the more embarrassing things I forgot is the difference between Mesquite and Palo Verde blossoms. The major driving force for why this happened is due…

Florence-Kelvin Highway Photographs- March 2021 Part 2
In my last post of photographs I took in March 2021 of the Florence- Kelvin Highway, I mentioned that I didn’t take as many photographs of the highway as I did in December 2020. Since I didn’t take as many photographs, most of the photographs I have yet to post are of the same exact subject matter. I really liked the way the clouds looked with the scenery and the road, so the rest of the photographs I took that day are of this. Even though it the photographs may seem repetitive, I’m very happy with the way they turned out.
