  • Ocotillo Blossoms Part 1- Spring 2023

    March 20, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! After days of posting photographs of the cactus blossoms, I decided to switch photography focus to a different desert plant that blossomed last year. One of the plants I enjoy seeing blossom every year are the ocotillo. Last year, I found multiple ocotillo that blossomed on my relative’s land. I took many photographs of them, but for this post I wanted to focus on the blossoms on one plant.

  • Spring Cactus Blossom Close Up Part 1- Spring 2023

    March 18, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! After posting photographs of the Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus blossoms, I want to dedicate a handful of posts to closeups of the blossoms. They are really pretty and I always enjoyed looking and photographing them. The flowers are a very pretty color and are some of the blossoms I look forward to seeing the most. All the photographs of these flowers were taken in Spring 2023.

    March 13, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! Today, I want to share more photographs I took of the Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus blossoms. I took these photographs last spring, but never got around to posting them. When I took these photos, the flowers were in the process of blooming. Because of this, there were still buds on the cactus that had yet to bloom. I took photographs of both the buds and the blooms. Also, the cactus I took pictures of is the same one I took photographs of in this post.

  • Cactus Blossom Buds- Spring 2023

    March 11, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! This post is a continuation of Arizonan desert photographs I took in spring 2023. For this post, I wanted to share all the photographs I took of cactus blossom buds. The cacti I took photographs of are of the Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus (Echinocereus Engelmannii). I was able to find multiple cacti on my relative’s property that blossomed that spring. In order to go in order the photographs were taken in, I wanted to publish a post just for the blossom buds for the Hedgehog Cactus before I publish posts about the actual blossoms. Look for them in the future!

    Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I posted any photographs on this blog. I decided not to post for several reasons, but I feel comfortable to post them again. I have many photographs I never posted from Spring 2023. During that season, there were so many wild flowers and blooms due to the healthy rainfall during the winter. This spring will probably have a lot of wild flowers and blooms as well. Still, I have so many photographs from last year I decided to start posting them now before I start to post photographs I took this year!

    Hi everyone! Recently, while searching through the photographs I took in March 2023, I found multiple photographs of the same saguaro cactus, but from different days. I really liked how these photographs turned out, so I decided to group them into two different posts. For this post, I wanted to group all the photographs I took during the daytime. I have another post dedicated to the photographs I took during sunset coming later this week! In the mean time, I hope you enjoy the photographs in this post!

    Hi everyone! I’m still going through my old photographs I took in March. Arizona was very beautiful at that time, which made great photographs! In this post, I wanted to share some photographs I took of an Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus (Echinocereus Engelmannii), Saguaro ribs, and the wildflowers around them. I found the cacti near my relative’s property. I can visit it whenever I want to without problems, so I decided to take photographs of the area. At that time, yellow wildflowers peppered the area. Even though there were yellow wildflowers in the area, there wasn’t as many wildflowers in the area until the next month. Still, there was enough pretty…

    July 14, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! Back in March, I would wander around my relative’s property to see if there were any photogenic places to take pictures of. I found an abandoned road near the most untouched desert area on the property. After walking up and down it repeatedly, I decided to try to take photographs of the road as soon as the clouds were right. After attempting to take pictures of the area several times, I finally was able to do it. Still, the photographs didn’t turn out as nicely as I hoped it would be. It was basically a problem when I wanted to enjoy the scenery and live in the moment…

    Hi everyone! This past spring, I took many photographs of the desert post rain. The clouds were beautiful and the desert was green. I loved the way the desert looked. Taking photographs during this time was a fun time for me. I enjoyed it a lot! After going through my photographs, I found some photographs I really liked but they didn’t fit into any other post themes I could come up with. Instead, I decided to create a collective post dedicated to the miscellaneous photographs I want to include with a post. I ended up creating two posts featuring the miscellaneous photographs I took in March 2023. The photographs in…

    July 12, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! In March, 2023, the spring 2023 superbloom was going to happen, if was happening already. In my area, the major blooms didn’t happen until April. Still, there were a few flowers that bloomed in March. They just weren’t in an abundance as it would eventually be. While walking around my relative’s property, I found a few small yellow flowers around the area. These flowers are common in and around my relative’s property. Based off a light Google search, I can’t find information about the name of the flower. Even though I don’t know what the name of the flower is, I always look forward to seeing them bloom.…
