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.
A New Day
Each day is a new day. Happy Tuesday, everyone!
Waterways
Reflections in water are often prettier than what is being reflected. Does that make sense?
From a late afternoon visit to Watson Lake.
Moon Watch
Time spent gazing at the night sky can be as calming as watching the rhythm of ocean waves. Last night I went outside for a half hour or so before the International Space Station was due to fly over and spent time looking at the moon as it appeared and disappeared behind fast moving clouds.
And then we watched the space station as it made its arc over our driveway- looking like a bright star zooming across the night sky. A few moments of excitement on that dark night.
I missed blackout Tuesday- I hadn’t realized it was happening until late yesterday. But I add my voice to those crying for justice for all Black Americans. These are dark times- but I have hope for better days ahead.
