Neighborhood Walk

Our weather has turned chilly, the leaves have mostly all turned gold and are starting to be blown off the trees, so I decided to take a short walk in the neighborhood to capture leaves on the trees while they were still attached.  I did take a few tree photos, but, inspired by my abstract photography class,  I also found myself attracted to the shapes and patterns around me.

Berries in the sidewalk cracks:

I’ll post trees tomorrow!

Up the Hill, part 2

Here are two more shots I love from last week’s (short) walk up the hill to the top of our lot.  I want to make clear that none of this land above is ours- and it does crack me up that it took me a year to walk through our weeds to get to the pretty ones above.  Just know that I don’t like the possibility of snakes- or even lizards. Or frogs. I think that covers it.

Lovely weeds!

And here is a view of Prescott’s iconic Thumb Butte.
