McDowell Mountain Regional Park, near Phoenix, Arizona.

We had enough coverage of this little gem to warrant its own section on our website here:  McDowell Mountain Regional Park Photos.  I don’t think too many people have heard of this regional park, I bet most people living in Phoenix haven’t visited it, but they should!  This place has a lot of diversity – it is surprising to find such a place so close to a city like Phoenix.  And, it has some killer mountain biking trails!

These fireworks at the end of an Arizona Diamondback’s game in Phoenix this spring is about the closest thing I have to a 4th of July photo! 

Back-lit ocotillo against a shadowed hillside.   These guys were really getting bright red!

Owl’s Clover.

This Owl’s Clover really has nothing to do with our web server – we were adjusting a few photos from earlier in the trip for a customer, and I thought it was kinda purdy, so I went with it.

Our main photo website seems to grow in spurts, and lately it has really been spurting.  According to Webalizer, we had over 336,000 visitors last month!  This month is even busier.  I believe Webalizer counts spiders and repeat visitors, so that number is probably a bit overstated , but even if you reduce it by a third, it is still a lot of great activity.

That’s the good news, now the bad.  Read More

I think cholla cactus look great when back-lit.  I can speak from experience, these things are no fun to remove from an arm!  I now give them a wide berth.

Last night in downtown Phoenix. Arizona.

This is one of the few sunsets we have had here in Phoenix.  I would have loved to had a sky like this for one of my wildflower landscapes earlier this month!

Here are more Phoenix photos.

I stuck my head into this sculpture in Scottsdale, Arizona near the Fashion Square, thinking I could use it to frame a composition.  I was surprised to find the inside to be nothing but mirrors.  So I stepped inside to see if there was a photo, and music began to play!  There must be some kind of motion detector – I thought that was kinda cool.

I tried, but couldn’t come up with a composition in which I didn’t appear in at least one of the mirrors, so I decided to do this multi-portrait.
