Skyward view

Dramatic sky at sunset

From the road

Golden hour with a storm brewing over the Catalina Mtns

Later last night, a thumbnail of a moon appeared on the horizon

Heading into heat…

I’ve never seen a snake plant flower?! There were two blooming at Lowe’s today (I was tempted to buy one but when did snake plants get so ridiculously expensive?)

Since one of my painted oak galls was in that last shot, I thought I’d take the opportunity to repost some photos of the originals, circa 2015. (Part 1/2)

Morning light casting rainbows (Part 1/2)

Another great memory from the archives. This was a scene from Chihuly’s exhibit at the @dbgphx in 2013. I’m super glad that I went to see this installation. It lives on in my memories fondly.

Trying to sort thru some files this evening and came across this wonderful memory from a trip to Kauai in 2009 to visit my mom. My first day there she introduced me to her friend Loren (who passed away recently) who took us in his canoe up a river to a beautiful fern grotto. I loved the trip and ...

There’s been quite a few trials —none of them bad—but I think I like this combo best...which I just kind of stumbled upon this year. . Recipe: 1 persimmon, 1 carrot, 1tbsp fresh ginge...
