  • Armed Forces Garden Flowers Photographs in Florence, Arizona

    August 29, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! Today, I will be continuing with my post series of the photographs I took of Florence, Arizona over a year ago. In my last post, I shared the photographs I took of flowers outside the aquatic center (Public pool and water park). In this post, I will be sharing two photographs I took of the flowers I saw in the Armed Forces Garden. Ok, I need to admit two things: First, I don’t actually remember what the “Armed Forces Garden” is formally called. It does have a name, but after searching online for it I can’t find it. The areas is located behind the Viney Jones Community Library.…

  • Arizona Wildflower Photographs- Spring 2023

    March 4, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! In a pervious post, I talked about the photographs I took of an Arizona highway during Spring 2023. Even though it is 2024, I really like how the photographs turned out. So, I decided to post as many as I feel comfortable until I take enough photographs during Spring 2024 to post. Continuing the photographs I took on the Arizona highway, I want to take photos of the wildflowers on the side of the road. When I took these photographs, I didn’t have many flowers to take photographs of. Some of the flowers had dried up when I went to the highway to take photographs. So, I had…

  • 2018 Spring Ironwood Tree Blossoms- Black and White Photos

    June 7, 2018 /

    Earlier this week, I talked about the Ironwood tree blossom photographs I took this past spring. For today’s post, I wanted to share the Ironwood blossom photographs that I converted to black and white. The photographs in this post are the last photographs I took of the 2018 spring blossoms. I’m sad I do not have more to share, but I’m happy I have photographs of the blossoms I feel comfortable sharing on my blog! That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

    In a post last week, I talked about having so many posts backlogged that I decided to make two posts a week for a while, but last week my cold came back so I stopped working on my Inktober sketches and most of my blog posts so I could rest more. Because of this, I will be making only one post this week. Also, next week will be busy for me so there will be only one post that week as well. I hope by the end of next week I finished my Inktober sketches and can make a post dedicated to the sketches from week 3 and 4. 🙂…

  • 2016 Orange Tree Blossom

    October 3, 2016 /

    Last week I posted about this year’s peach blossoms. This week’s post will be about the orange tree blossoms. The blossoms on my orange tree are never as large, attention grabbing, or spectacular looking as the peach tree’s blossoms, but what they lack in looks they make up for in their sent. In previous years, the orange trees did not smell when the blossomed, but this year they did! I like the smell of orange tree blossoms, so to walk outside and smell the trees made me very happy. Since the orange tree blossoms are not as nice to look at, I only took a few photos of the blossoms.…

  • 2015 Spring Blossoms- The March 6th Version

    March 9, 2015 /

    It’s that time of year when I make a post of all the flowers and blossoms I find near my house. The plants began to blossom a few weeks ago, but they slowly began to get more and more flowers. Since I’m not sure how much they’ll blossom this year, I decided to take photos before they either fall off or the plants die. I’m sure there will be other plants blossoming in the future but I’m not sure when that will happen. Once it happens, I’ll take more photos and make another post with the new photos. All the photos in this post was taken on March 6, 2015.…

    April 27, 2014 /

    Believe it or not, I did find the time to take photos of more blossoms around my house! I’m kind of shocked by this because I decided to ignore my sewing, drawing, other crafts, and my normal job to go for long walks in the desert. (I was actually procrastinating, but hey! I’ve got pretty photos out of it! XD) Unlike with my first post, I don’t know all the names of the plants I took photos of. I did take photos of a saguaro cactus that is blossoming a month early. I thought this was a problems for that particular cactus only, but after taking more walks I found…
