March 2023 Saguaro Ribs Photographs Part 1
Hi everyone! In March, 2023, I went to my relative’s property to take photographs of the desert and the wildflower blooms. I saw many wildflowers, but massive bloom in the area came in the next month, April. After walking around the desert, I found several areas I wanted to take some photographs of whenever the blooms came. One of those areas was where a cluster of cacti (I believe it is Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus (Echinocereus Engelmannii) lived next to the ribs of a saguaro that passed away. I liked the way they looked together, so I used this as one of my favorite places to take photographs of some of the…

February 2023 Cacti Sunset Photographs
Hi everyone! I’m still going through the photographs I took earlier this year. There was a lot of rain in Arizona, which made the desert really green and pretty! I took many photographs of the desert, which has taken time to sort through and edit. One of the photographs I took in February, 2023 are of a small saguaro cactus and another cactus that I believe are Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus (Echinocereus Engelmannii). At that time, the wildflowers hadn’t blossomed yet. This means the desert was green and pretty, but didn’t have any flowers. I didn’t care about this because I wanted to take photographs of the two cacti.

Summer Solstice 2023 Desert Sunset Photographs Part 3
Hi everyone! It’s the last day of June, so it is only fitting I publish part three of the three part summer solstice photographs for this year! The photographs in this post are of the sky and more scenic foregrounds. I also took more photographs of the sky itself. For the most part, the photographs turned out really good.

Summer Solstice 2023 Desert Sunset Photographs Part 2
Hi everyone! On June 21, 2023, AKA summer solstice, there was a beautiful sky at sunset. I took may photographs of the desert my relative lives near. I took many photographs of the sunset with my favorite saguaro cactus to photograph, which I talked about in a separate post. After taking those photographs, I walked around the desert some more to see if there were any other areas in the desert I could take pictures of. I found a few, but some turned out better than others. For this post, I want to talk about some of the photographs that I think didn’t turn out as well. Even though they…

Summer Solstice 2023 Desert Sunset Photographs Part 1
Hi everyone! Last week was the Summer Solstice, AKA the first day of summer! It wasn’t as hot as it normally would be this time of year. It was a really nice change of pace for anyone living in Arizona! Despite the lack of the normal temperatures, it was still hot outside. The temperatures forced me to say inside most of the day. This is why I was so surprised when I looked outside my window at sunset and saw a beautiful sunset sky! After debating if I should or shouldn’t go outside, I decided to grab my camera and headed to my relative’s property to photograph the sunset. I…

Desert Saguaro Cactus Sunset Photographs February 2023- Part 1
Hi everyone! The 2023 Super Bloom has already come and gone. I miss the beautiful flowers and the rain, yet I don’t miss the allergies and problems trying to travel in the rain! Even though it is gone, I have many photographs I took of the storms and wildflower blooms. I made an effort to go outside and take photographs during this special season. It has paid off a lot, but I haven’t posted as many photographs as I planned to! This summer, I decided to post some more photographs from the Super Bloom. This week’s photography post is of a sunset that happened in February, 2023. It isn’t the…

Desert Cactus Photographs January 2023- Part 2
Hi everyone! Two weeks ago, I published a post about the photographs I took of one of the cacti that lives in the area where I like to take desert photographs. For this post, I decided to share some more photographs of a cactus that also lives in the area, but isn’t a saguaro cactus. The cactus is one I’m not sure what the name is. I believe it is the Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus (Echinocereus Engelmannii). It looks just like some of the photographs I found of it and its blooms are the same color as ones I found in photographs online. As of the writing of this post, I don’t want…

Desert Sunset Photographs January 2023- Part 2
Hi everyone! A few weeks ago, I published a post about sunset photographs I took in January 2023. I wanted to split the photographs into two different posts because the scenery is different depending on the the photograph. I had every intention of posting the photographs one week apart, but I decided to reexamine the photographs I wanted to post in the second post. All of the photographs I took in this post are of a different area of the desert. This area now has more people living nearby, which means I need to be even more careful about what I photographs and what I don’t. This area will change…

Desert Sunset Photographs January 2023- Part 1
Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I posted photographs I took of the desert. The desert where I like to take photographs of have changed a lot over the years, which means that I don’t have a lot of places to take photographs of anymore. Despite the changing landscape, I did find some areas where I could take photographs of and not worry about bothering anyone living nearby. I decided to hold off posting the photographs until a few months after I took them. I made this decision because I wanted to take some time to edit the photographs as well as try to let some time pass between…

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…
