Swimming?

Waiting for the gates to open for the Renaissance Fair I found this follow swimming through the crowd. After taking his picture I checked to make sure I still had my wallet.

Everyone needs a boost in the morning...

...even Death. Coffee anyone?

Hmmmm what?

Cameras are not allowed in most of the Phoenix Art Museum so I satisfied my desire to click through life in the lobby.

Now you see it...

Now you don't. I love Photoshop. Amazing pictures can be enhanced in ways that no camera can accomplish. Can you see what I cheerfully removed?

Blustery days

Desert winds rip through the Valley reminding that sunny skies and calm days make a nice mundane weather. Days like this help us appreciate clear and quiet.

Spikes

I am fascinated by the protection created by cactus of all kinds. This cacti has a spiral pattern with multiple spikes at each sight. Tough for a critters to chomp this well protected cacti

Yellow Caterpillars

These flowers make me think the tree is covered with yellow, fuzzy caterpillars. Nature is so fun.

Say what?

Walking along, finding random things in the trees.

Spring Flowers at DBG

One of the advantages of living in the desert is flowers blooming in the botanical gardens in February. The netting on the first flower protects the flowers from munching critters.

Elagance

Something a little different. These are pictures of beaded jewelery by Lynn. You can check out her web page at

Optimum view

Balancing on top of an ocatillo cactus gives this little guy an optimum view, plus a great picture.

Contrast

I am fascinated by the contrast between the new blossoms and the broken branch. Life and death intertwined but separate.

City scape

Rocks and cityscape sometimes look alike.

I'm bored

Have you ever wondered if the rhino in the zoo is bored?

Orange

A future project will be a book on colors. I found this to be an interesting view of a familiar orange light.

RUN

They're off on a 10 yard dash across the zoo walk way.

You looking at me?

You Looking at Me? Seems like a suitable title for the ostrich's unblinking stare.

Today's Picture

This picture was taken today. February 2 and Spring is blooming in Phoenix, AZ. Beautiful.

Grass clippers

Ducks clipping the grass during construction at the park. I was amused to watch them munching away totally ignoring the soon to be fence and markers.
