Anza-Borrego Desert State Park on the cover of Country Extra.
We made it back to Alaska safe and sound, it is great to be home! I was hoping to post a new Alaska photo, but rain and ugly weather discouraged that so I thought I would do just a little bit of shameless self promotion.
This was in the mail when we came home – I captured this photo back in a trip in 2008 and I thought it looked pretty cool on the cover of the March issue of County Extra!
Sunrise this morning in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California.
Anza-Borrego looks better now then it did a month ago when we left! Many of the wildflowers have come and gone, but there are still lots of flowers in full-bloom, especially the cactus. Speaking of cactus, the Ocotillo are now blooming through out the park and look as good as I have ever seen them – they are just brillent red.
We have stopped here just briefly to pack / ship / clean / winterize / and store our trailer and gear and then begin the journey home. It has been an awesome trip, but it will be nice to be back in Alaska and sleeping in our own bed. My next post will be Monday – from Alaska!
Rocky Point, Mexico.
Last weekend we joined some friends who were former Seward residents down in Rocky Point, on the Sea of Cortez, Mexico. We had a blast! And, I even captured a few photos. I love the bright, bold colors!
Speaking of our friends, if you need the best and most successful real estate agent in Tucson, Arizona – be sure to contact Brenda O’Brien!
Rocky Point, Mexico.
Prince William Sound, Alaska.
Well we had a great response and quickly filled the Alaska bear photo tour after we lowered the price, so we decided to try the same thing with our all inclusive boat based photo tour of the amazing Prince William Sound. Bears, whales, incredible scenery including active tide water glaciers huge snow capped mountains – I could go on and on about this amazing, remote region! Follow the link for more details.
Sabino Canyon, Coronado National Forest, Tucson, Arizona.
This is looking down into Sabino Canyon a little after sunset. I had never been here before and have I missed out – it is beautiful! A nice stream flows down the middle of the canyon, and access is provided by an open air shuttle system, although you can always walk, or after hours, bike into the canyon. And speaking of walking, there are lots of great hiking trials. It is a very poplar area, I was surprised that even during my hike out in total darkness that I ran into a number of hikers and joggers.
Black Hills, Arizona.
Here is another from the Black Hills, Arizona.
Photographing poppies is a bit of a trade-off because they tend to closed around sunrise and sunset. So the better the light, the less of a wildflower show. As you can see here in the photo at last light – many of the wildflowers are nearly closed. Fortunately these fields are so dramatic that they still look great!
Black Hills, Arizona.
The Black Hills of Arizona are not so black right now! This is between Safford and Clifton near the New Mexico border. I think this area rivals even the famous Antelope Poppy Reserve in California, it is dramatic. This was Sunday evening – unfortunately this area was hit with 40 mph winds on Monday which probably put a big damper on the current show.
