Illuminated by Halloween lights and the headlights from cars, this group appeared in a patch of light ahead of where we were walking.
A Walk in the Dark
An Autumn Walk
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!
On the Corner
This is a view of Flagstaff’s Aspen Corner- and you can actually see a bit around the corner!
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.
Aspen Arch
We have just returned from a week in New Mexico, and on the way back we stopped in Flagstaff to visit the aspens, which we had read were beginning to get their fall color. We were surprised to see that they have almost peaked- it is truly glorious! Fellow leaf peepers- it is time to head up there!!!

My Mac has been in intensive care for months, and it has been difficult to post. But here’s a little ICM of a view of neighboring houses from the other day.
The City
Another 2016 image of San Francisco, reimagined as an abstract
Coit Tower Redux
An oldie (2016!) but a goodie- San Francisco’s iconic Coit Tower re-edited as an abstract.
Sunrise in the Neighborhood
It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor
Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Won’t you be my neighbor?
And here is another sunrise view from our street! We do get beautiful views- and someday soon I hope to get out and shoot beautiful views from another vantage point!
Shades of Dawn
Another view of early morning light
Rising Early
I became an early riser during the first month after my husband’s heart surgery. He sleeps in a recliner in the living room, and, until the last few days, I slept on the couch beside his chair. I could see the first hints of early morning light through the window and often would sneak out to grab a few photos of the sky. He is so much better now, though, that I no longer feel I need to listen for every movement and am starting to lie in bed until after dawn.
This is a view looking maybe northeast? from our street. There was morning fog (not common here), and if you look closely you can see a faint outline of Flagstaff’s San Francisco Peaks behind the silhouette of the Dells.
The View
It’s been awhile since I posted any photos. On June 26, my husband Lonnie had a heart attack, which resulted in a triple bypass surgery on July 1. He has been home since July 7 and is recovering well in the 4th week of at least an 8 week recovery. Our daughter came for over a week to help, and our son will be here tonight for the weekend. All of this explains why the only photos I’ve been able to take have been the view from the front of our house- specifically clouds, which have been magnificent during this monsoon season. I believe in August I will be able to get back into a bit more photography and photo editing as Lonnie improves.
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.
Stand By Me
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No, I won’t be afraid
Oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
Yes, there are mountains!
This is the view looking across the Turnagain Arm from the Seward Highway outside Anchorage, Alaska. Just a small part of the view, I might add! On our first visit to Alaska in the summer of 2016, we landed at night and stayed at a hotel near downtown. We saw none of this- Anchorage did not look pretty, and we saw no mountains. The next morning, we headed out on the Seward Highway and got our first view of the snow capped peaks and glaciers- I’ll never forget my feelings of awe and excitement as we drove along the water! Every time we return, I get that same feeling as we drive along that now familiar road. This shot is from a few weeks ago when we were there for our grandson’s graduation.
