Photograph of the city of Phoenix with mountains in the background.

I found a new perspective

Our usual parking spot wasn’t available in our building’s car park. So, higher and higher we went until we hit the top floor of the car park where there were plenty of spaces. Hang on a second—I thought. I can see the whole freaking city […]

Is summer coming to an end?

It might be a little too soon for me to celebrate, but we had our first sub 100F day earlier this week since summer began. I’ve been able to have breakfast sitting outside. Summer is officially winding down and I can’t wait. Taken last year […]

Respect to astrophotographers

I downloaded the app. I watched the app’s tutorial videos. I checked the weather. I watched some videos and read some tutorials about the how of astrophotography. I packed the right kit. And yet, I was still unprepared. Taken in Cornville, Arizona, this was my […]

Photograph of bunny rabbit ear cacti, looking over them.

Catching the morning light

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 […]

Photograph of a line of black and yellow bollards on the right set against a blue sky, dirt ground, and sun in the top left corner.

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.

Photograph of the tops of green mountains and hills with a dead tree in the foreground.

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 […]
