I will just completely understate it by saying it is beautiful.
FeaturedMooney Falls Comes with Risk
I was blessed to have a friend with an extra permit to stay at the Supai Village Lodge. It was three days and a little less than forty miles of hiking (with a heavy pack, I might add). There were...
FeaturedRim to Rim Hiking the Grand Canyon – What I “Knew”
"Why am I doing this?" definitely crossed my mind. It crossed my mind, let's say, only about every other step on the way up the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. A mere 15 hours after we started! I never set...
Something to Howl About!
It started with the hot air balloons taking off in the distance. This time of year is the peak balloon season in the desert - it just depends on the wind currents where they start. This is only about half...
A Roadrunner Should be Running in the Road
It only make senses. And there should be a coyote somewhere nearby.
“Hunting” for Wildlife
I'm having fun hiking with the AF-S Nikkor 300mm trying to hunt for wildlife. A lot of birds... But a few other critters as well.. Two Jackrabbits running away in the wash. Sometimes you take a picture that just makes...

Wandering in Sedona
I haven't posted in a while. Life has been in the way. But had a great morning walking along the Little Horse Trail in Sedona, Arizona.

Messing with Sunsets
"Willy Wonka" Pose The weather is warming up in Phoenix. It's a great time for evening hikes on your favorite peak and and catch a sunset.
Grand Canyon National Park’s Centennial
2019 marks the Grand Canyon's 100th year as a National Park. Living a few hours away from the South Rim made it easy for me to "drop in" and celebrate (and still be able to do it again)! If you...
Wildflowers Galore
It's finally warming up in the desert! And all of the rain we've received this winter has made the desert "explode" with wildflowers. Some of these would make nice prints. Please contact me if interested. I recommend getting out there...
