Do you have a favourite cactus? Having lived in the desert for a few years, I think I have a few favourites. The cutests of all has to be the bunny ear cactus. It looks cute enough to touch with the morning light dancing so […]
Oh bollards
Haphazardly leaning. Not at all blending in (which might actually be intentional). The light hitting them just right. A photo was inevitable. And that’s all here. It just took some good lighting and my strange way of seeing the mundane.
Arizona, you beauty
I am continually reminded of how effing beautiful this state is. When most folks think of Arizona, their minds immediately go to the desert landscapes and saguaro cacti. But head into the mountains, and you’re met with vistas like this. North east of Payson, AZ […]
