There’s not much blooming in the Arizona desert right now so my focus has been on other interesting objects in the landscape – from dead plants to human debris. In some areas of the KOFA National Wildlife Refuge, the ocotillo is bursting out in… Continue Reading “Desert Art”
The Teddybear Cholla is one of my favorite desert plants! It literally glows in the landscape – especially in the early morning and early evening light.

Yesterday, we had the first really bright, sunny day in many weeks. And, also, one of the coldest days we’ve had all winter. I really needed to get outside, though, and pulled out the “really warm” outdoor gear for a brisk walk and photo… Continue Reading “Neighborhood Views”
