  • October 2025 iPhone Sunset Photographs- Part 2

    March 13, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! It’s time for the second post in my two post iPhone sunset photography series. In this series, I wanted to talk about photographs I took in October 2025 of a desert sunset. The first photographs, which I already talked about in a post here, is of a saguaro cactus with the sun setting behind it. For this post, I will talk about the photographs I took of the same saguaro cactus on the same day, but from a different angle. At the time I took these photographs, I wanted to see how well an iPhone’s photos can be edited in a new photo editing software I was trying…

  • October 2025 iPhone Sunset Photographs- Part 1

    March 9, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! In October 2025, I decided to try to use my iPhone to take some photographs of a sunset and the desert. Prior to this, I was using my iPhone for a few months to take photographs of nature. I did this just to know the difference between my camera (A Cannon Rebel T7) and my iPhone. (I already knew my camera was (And still is) better at taking photographs, but I still wanted to take pictures and compare them in new editing software I was thinking of using) On this day, I decided to use the iPhone to take picture and not my camera as well. After editing…

  • Discovering One of My Favorite Photogenic Cacti Has Died- Cactus 2

    August 11, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! Well, the time has come to talk about a second cactus that has died. This time, it is a saguaro cactus. This cactus was my favorite saguaro cactus to take sunset photographs of during the late fall, winter, and early spring. The sun would be perfectly positioned behind it, making the best sunset photographs. Earlier this year, I discovered the cactus had finally died. I wasn’t surprised it died because it looked like it has issues for the past three or so years. Still, it made me upset and very sad to see that it has finally passed away.

    Hi everyone! I found some more sunset photographs I want to post! I took these photographs with my iPhone in November 2024. I’m really annoyed I didn’t post these photographs sooner, but I’m afraid they got lost on my computer. Now that I found them, I decided to post them before I lose them again!

    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! While searching through the photographs I took in March 2023, I found many photographs I want to post. I already mentioned this in a previous post, but if you haven’t read it, you can see it here. For this post, I grouped together multiple photographs that I took of saguaro cacti. I took them at sunset. Two photographs are of the same cactus from two different days. The third photograph is of a different cactus.

    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…

    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…

    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…
