Some Photoshop fun with a Gerbera Daisy . . .
Skull Valley
The old depot was moved away from the tracks and now houses the local museum.
Above the Clouds
Stop the presses! We got out of Prescott! The drive was only 17 miles or so, but we did get out of town. The impetus was that my photo group is meeting tomorrow on zoom- and the topic is “How Far Have You Gone”- meaning how far have you travelled during the pandemic. Until this weekend, my answer would have been all the way to the doctor’s office. I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one in the group who is staying home most of the time- but I just didn’t feel like bringing a still life or flower photo (although I will later on).
So we drove through Skull Valley and Kirkland, and I found three photo ops along the way. Today’s photo is one I took on the way home- I’ll post the one I am using for class later on.
Blue Truck
Spotted at Bodie
At My Feet
Thinking back to our beach walks in February- I spotted this little still life at my feet one day.
BUZZZZZ
We have a large Russian Sage plant at the end of our driveway- and every summer, this means BEES!
Gardiner Rodeo 2014
Yes, I’ve gone back 6 years to find a photo for today! This was one of my most favorite photography days- being with family, staying at Yellowstone- and seeing my first rodeo since I was a very little girl! I haven’t been to a rodeo since then, even living in Prescott where rodeo is BIG. So here’s one of my 2014 rodeo shots in a 2020 painterly style:
Yet Another Rose
More backyard photography! My new rosebushes and digital frames are making me happy despite all the Covid worries!
Vintage Rose
To give ourselves something to focus on beside the virus, we planted six rosebushes this year. I can see them out the kitchen window, and they cheer me up! I have always loved roses (doesn’t everyone?), but I have never wanted them in my yard until now. Good timing.
Gold and Green
Goldfinch- stopping for a drink in the late afternoon light
Streetside
I always admire the streetside planting along one particular sidewalk near downtown. Every summer there is a wonderful collection of flowers blooming- and this year I took some photos.
Beach Patrol
I’m reaching back into the archives for another beach photo. This one is from our 2018 trip to Homer, Alaska. Really sad to miss seeing our Alaska family this summer. . .
Lit from Within
Another trip to my photo archives- a fun edit of a barrel cactus.
Untouchable
Another photo for my AAUW photo group- this time a barrel cactus!
Red Rocks at Sunset
The assignment for my AAUW photo group this month is Arizona rocks, trees, and plants. I’m reaching back to February for this one- a view from the top of Airport Road in Sedona.
