Pretty, no? A shame they're #invasive. Stinknet, native to South Africa. They really do stink, too. Taken in Apache Junction #Arizona #photography #ecology #sonorandesert #bloomscrolling #darktable

Mexican gold poppies. Taken at Oracle State Park Do we have a hashtag for when there are bugs in the photo you didn't see when you took it? #photoBugBombing #arthropodSurprise #photography #Arizona #nightphotography #bloomscrolling #darktable #Spider#nightphotography#arizona#sonorandesert

A couple shots of a bridge over the Gila River in Kearney #Arizona. I couldn't cross because there was a locked gate, but after seeing it in person (I found it on the map before I went) I didn't really want to drive my car over it anyway lol #bridgeObsession #photography #darktable#arizona#rural

Back out with the flash - #desert marigold and #bee. I am slowly learning from @BygByte to crop thoughtfully instead of just cramming everything into the golden cut #photography #arizona #nightphotography #bloomscrolling #darktable

TL;DR: I AM RUNNING FOR OFFICE! VISIT SANITYSAM.COM So I have been mentioning a side project. Before I get to that I want to say Thanks again for the immaculate vibes we have here. Having this space where we focus on visual art has made it possible for me to […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

I'm still experimenting with the flash. It's making me think back to when I first started bringing the camera out at night. At the time I worked the night shift, 7 pm to 3 am. As one of my coworkers pointed out, with this shift you're sleeping days even on […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

I meant to make this image at 1000 followers, but I have a side project that's been keeping me busy. More about that soon, but right now: Thanks! I have been keeping a list of the different languages I see on Pixelfed, and here is the word Thanks in all of […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

Red used to be too excited for me to stop to look at flowers on our walks, which was sometimes a reason for him to stay home (I really need to just look at flowers sometimes ok? Especially these days). We have been working on Sit and he is now very good at […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

A few years ago my birthday present to myself was a (cheap) digital #microscope. I finally hauled it out to look at some tiny #flowers. The stamens and pistils are about a millimeter across, the flower perhaps 5mm across and 10-15mm above the ground (the […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

Another #iNaturalist upload - this is apparently sorrel wild buckwheat. #arizona #nightphotography

Colorado Four O'Clocks on the #ArizonaTrail - thanks again #iNaturalist #arizona #photography #bloomscrolling #florespondence #darktable

An #Arizona lupine. #bloomscrolling #photography #darktable

#Milkweed #flower and seed pod (with aphids). #iNaturalist says these are oleander aphids, not native to the area. Maybe I should have squished them but I left them in peace. The milkweed vine was doing fine regardless 🪷🙃🤷🏻🪲 #arizona #photography#flower#darktable#arizona#milkweed#iNaturalist#Bloomscrolling

Chuparosas and brittlebush. Is two plants together becoming a theme? #arizona #darktable#arizona#Bloomscrolling

Flowering vine on an oak twig, Oracle State Park #Arizona #ArizonaTrail #photography #darktable#arizona#bloomscrolling #florespondence

The only trouble with #iNaturalist is they want one photo per species even if there are several species in the photo. It's a headache to upload the same image again while tracking which observation in what photo has been recorded. Otherwise I'm having a great […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

Another small flower from the road trip I took with my dad. iNat says it is in the genus Nama, commonly called fiddleleafs or sand bells. Get the wallpaper or print file for yourself: https://ko-fi.com/s/9d1135a68a #Arizona #photography #darktable#arizona#Bloomscrolling

A brittlebush sage seedling doing the best it can with what it's got. Taken at Crystal Hill Rock Collection Area just south of Quartzsite, #Arizona #photography #darktable

Another one from my parents' yard, taken at dusk with a flash. Vivid magenta sand verbena surrounded by tiny white flowers. Even though the sand looked dead for years, the seeds waited patiently for the rain and have now been rewarded. Get the wallpaper for […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

A birdcage evening primrose at my parents' house in #Yuma #Arizona. The yard is normally sand only but with some recent rain there are suddenly flowers. All stages of the flower are there: bud, mature, and wilted. I remembered to add this one to my Ko-Fi - […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

Datura wrightii? #photography #Arizona #darktable

Last month I visited #Quartzsite #Arizona. It was a nice day, almost too warm, amazing #rocks of course. The place was super crowded though to the point of traffic jams. This was a brittlebush sage in the swap meet parking lot. #bloomscrolling #photography #darktable

#Bloomscrolling from Mission Garden in #Tucson #Arizona. The last one is amaranth as I recall #darktable #photography#darktable#arizona#tucson#Bloomscrollingtps://www.missiongarden.org/

Last month my dad and I drove through the #SonoranDesert near Yuma #arizona#sonorandesert The chuparosas were quite a sight #Bloomscrolling

After I set up my tripod, I had a few minutes waiting for the full moon to rise, so I took the time to clean up a forgotten memorial. The fabric flowers had blown away and a light had lost one of its faded glass blooms, so I gathered them up and put them back […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

Four landscape shots from Tinajas Altas, #Arizona, including a #panorama#arizona Very #geology, much granite, wow

The area around #Yuma #Arizona has gotten quite a bit of #rain lately so there are some #wildflowers#arizonaas well as a real tough saguaro. The weed is among the date palms and it's wet from the sprinklers. #Bloomscrolling

#roadtrip on El Camino Del Diablo with my dad. We saw an #abandoned helicopter. #Yuma #arizona

Meet Azula, Poe, and Isis. I was their cat sitter last month! Azula and Poe are very young and I think they are siblings. Azula is a bit shy and much sneakier than Poe, who is bold and friendly. Too friendly, in fact, for Isis, who is an Old Lady Cat and […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]
