Looking back at last week’s beautiful autumn weather. Today it’s been intense rain and hail, thunder and lightning and a loud tornado warning here in Prescott!
An Autumn Walk
Leaves in Gold
My favorite season for photography! Walking among the aspens trees with my camera is one of the experiences I look forward to every year! This image is an in-camera multiple exposure.
Turn turn turn
This ICM photo is part of a series I’m calling Turnagain Blues- because they were taken on the part of the Seward Highway that follows the waterway called the Turnagain Arm and because of the blue tones.
I like the square crops as well.
Teepee Dreams
I have photographed the teepees at the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook on three separate trips. Each visit has resulted in entirely different images. This last was from a short visit a couple weeks ago. It’s possible that wasn’t my last visit- I still haven’t actually walked on the grounds of the motel!
What if?
The lunar eclipse is happening tonight (actually early tomorrow), and a group from my photo club are down at Whitewater Draw to photograph the eclipse AND the sandhill cranes. I’m thinking of them and wondering . . .
What if a crane flew by when the moon was obscured during totality?
I combined one of my photos of the January 2018 lunar eclipse with a photo of a sandhill crane from last year’s trip to Whitewater Draw- and then had some fun in Photoshop!
If you’re awake, don’t forget to go out and view the eclipse early tomorrow morning!
Quiet Reflection
Above is an image from a few years ago which captured a quiet mood at Lynx Lake here in Prescott.

Slow shutter impressions of Scottsdale’s Canal Convergence
Sailing
We had such a wonderful time seeing friends in California- and it was especially nice to be staying in Benicia- our home for over 25 years. I made sure to go walk down to the water each morning to enjoy the fog and sunshine. Today’s photo was taken with a slow shutter and a tiny bit of motion to create this impressionistice view.
From Green to Gold
When I was at Aspen Corner in Flagstaff in October, the aspens were still turning from green to gold. I wonder what they look like today!
Aspen Corner
Here is another ICM image of Aspen Corner- with a touch of realism.
London Bridge Impressions
We took a trip with my photo club along the western part of Route 66 in Arizona, and made a side trip to Lake Havasu, home of the iconic London Bridge. Lonnie and I visited there several years ago and enjoyed walking along the bridge and and remembering how my parents had visited there in the seventies, not long after it was constructed (and faced with the original masonry from the 1830’s original bridge). This time I used intentional camera movement techniques to produce an impressionistic view of the bridge.
Carquinez
We have just returned from Benicia- our home for so many years (26!). We love where we live now, but miss our little town on the Carquinez Strait and all the friends we left behind in the Bay Area! We were there for a dear friend’s son’s wedding and managed to see many of our friends during the few days spent in Benicia. The water was less than a block from the Air BnB, so we took many walks along the shoreline and downtown. I’ve photographed the Carquinez Bridge many times over the years- here’s a muted impressionistic view- created just by moving my camera.
Rhythm of the Woods
Another ICM from our walk among the aspens!
Sunlight and Shadow
We walked in and out of shadows and light as we made our way along the trails at Aspen Corner- a perfect way to welcome the arrival of autumn!
Light in the Forest
Here’s another photo shot with intentional camera movement at Aspen Corners.
