  • Spring Cactus Blossom Part 3- Spring 2023

    May 7, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! It’s time for another series of 2023 spring blossom photographs! In this post, I am still posting all the photographs I took of the Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus. In this post, I wanted to include close up photographs of one of the cactus. In a future post, I will include the rest of the close up photographs I didn’t include in this and other posts.

    Hi everyone! I needed to take a break from posting for a while due to personal reasons. (AKA a busy life!) I still have quite a lot backlogged photographs from Spring 2023, so I wanted to continue posting them! This post features photos of Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus. I still have many other photographs I will be posting of theses cacti. If you enjoy looking at the photographs of this type of cactus, please keep an eye out for those posts. They will be coming in the next few weeks. Enjoy!

    Hi everyone! I needed to take a break from posting for Easter and to focus on things that were going on in my life at that time. Even though it is April, I haven’t found any cactus that have blossomed. The ones I am the most focused on taking photographs of is the Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus (Echinocereus Engelmannii). Usually these cacti will bloom this month, but I have yet to find any that have bloomed. Even though I haven’t taken photographs of this year’s blooms like I planned, I still have photographs I took from last year. In this post are close ups of a hedgehog cactus that bloomed last…

    Hi everyone! Last spring, I took photographs of the ocotillo blossom. I have many photographs of certain ocotillos and their blossoms, but for this post, I wanted to focus on the photographs of the buds I took photographs of.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

  • Arizona Spring Wildflowers- Spring 2023

    March 8, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! Last spring, Arizona experienced a Superbloom. If you never heard of a Superbloom, it is when plants in the area bloom in an abnormal abundance. Last year, the Superbloom was due to a large amount of rain in the winter months. Among the blooms were plants I didn’t recognize nor know the name of. One of these plants had a yellow bloom that was round. I didn’t know the name of it, yet it was too pretty to not take photographs of.

  • Orange Tree Blossom Photographs- Spring 2023

    March 6, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! Last spring, I noticed my relative’s orange tree had blossoms on it. This was not the first time I noticed it, or took photographs of the blossoms. Yet, I enjoy taking photographs of them, so I decided to dedicate a post about them! When I took the photographs of the blossoms, the “peak” blossom blooms had passed. Since the blossoms weren’t at their peak, many of the blossoms didn’t look as photogenic as I would’ve liked them to be. Even though they didn’t look perfect, I still found some that looked really nice.
