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.

It’s Warming Up… Everywhere
Summer is around the corner. It means triple degree temps are becoming the norm for us in the desert. That doesn’t mean hiking less, but adjusting to being out earlier or later. I also make sure to have more water than I think I should have. Unrelated – I’m feeling a bit inspired to bring…

Messing with Sunsets
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 need a excuse to go, then feel free to use the Park’s Centennial as the…

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 before it gets much warmer, as it doesn’t take long for it to dry out.…

Grand Canyon Sunrise
I had a chance to visit the Grand Canyon for the sunrise this week. It was early (we left Flagstaff before 5AM), it was cold (20 degrees F with a wind that just went through you), and it was worth it. You can’t go all this way and head right home. So it was time…

Me, Me, Me (and a few hours in Sedona)!
I had a day off from work and I had to spend it with myself. What is there to do when you live on the north side of Phoenix? How about drive for about an hour and hang around Sedona for bit. I wasn’t really going to see anything “new”, so it was time to…

Desert Mushroom Invasion
I never really thought I’d be writing about mushrooms living in Arizona. But with all the rain we’ve had lately, they have quickly began popping up all over the desert. And they (the “Desert Shaggy Mane”) finally caught my attention. They have given me something new to focus on while I hike around Arizona this…

All it Does is Rain in Phoenix!
I’ll admit that isn’t true, but the last few weeks it sure seems that way. It’s pouring again as I type this, but I did manage to get out before sunrise and spend a couple hours in the Desert at Apache Wash. It has been a dry year for the most part and the desert…

Glamour Ssssssssshots!
It doesn’t happen as often as many think, but if you are a frequent hiker in Arizona, you will likely encounter a rattlesnake from time to time – even on the most public of trails. And as I am often wandering around somewhere, the odds are pretty good I will meet up with one. And…
