  • 2022 Ocotillo Blossom Photographs- Part 3

    June 9, 2022 /

    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

    June 2, 2022 /

    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.

    May 26, 2022 /

    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 Mesquite Tree Blossoms

    May 12, 2022 /

    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

    May 10, 2022 /

    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

    May 5, 2022 /

    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

    June 24, 2021 /

    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.

    June 17, 2021 /

    In March, I went back to the Florence-Kelvin Highway to take some more photographs of the scenery. On the day I went, there were clouds passing by but there was no rain. Because of this, I thought there would be plenty of fluffy clouds to take pictures of. When I got there, I was happy to discover I was right. So, I took some photographs. Unlike the first series of posts I made about the photographs I took of the highway in December 2020, I didn’t take nearly as many photographs on the day I went. I wanted to take my time seeing the scenery while driving on the road…

    In March, I went for a hike. It was near sunset so I decided to go for a walk and take photographs of the desert scenery. On that day, there was a beautiful sunset. So, I went to my favorite sunset photograph spot and began to take a few photographs.
