  • Sunset Saguaro Photographs: November 17, 2024

    June 12, 2025 /

    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!

  • March 2023 Saguaro Cacti Sunset Photographs

    September 22, 2023 /

    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.

  • March 2023 Saguaro Cactus Daytime Photographs

    September 20, 2023 /

    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!

  • March 2023 Saguaro Ribs Photographs Part 1

    July 11, 2023 /

    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

    July 10, 2023 /

    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 2

    June 28, 2023 /

    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…

    June 26, 2023 /

    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…

    Hi everyone! A few weeks ago, I published a post about a handful of sunset photographs I took in February 20223. I still have more photographs of a sunset around the same time. I haven’t posted them online yet, so I decided this would be a great time to post them now! I don’t remember the exact day I took these photographs. Yet, I do remember I took them in February 2023. The saguaro cactus in these photographs is my favorite cactus to take sunset photographs of. On this day, the sunset wasn’t as bright and bold as others. Still, I really like how the clouds turned out, with an…

    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…

    During my trip to the Florence-Kelvin Highway in December 2020, I made sure to take the opportunity to take plenty of photographs of the cristate, or crested, saguaro. I took so many of them I decided to dedicate this post to them. If you want to know more about the cactus, this article about them on Arizona Highways’ website will help explain what they are. And now here are all the photographs, including close ups, of the crested saguaro cactus…
