I am still wandering around Arizona and photographing flowers as I find time. I stumbled on these beautiful purple flowers and am beginning to see these everywhere. I guess they are called Blue Bells and in some locations they carpet the ground.
I was out a few nights ago when I found this rocky area and the flowers were protruding form the rocks and I thought ‘how cool.’ Rough rocks that would shred your skin if you fell, covered with dainty and delicate flowers.
Wow, does time fly. I have been in Arizona for the last month enjoying the sun and working on non-shooting photo projects while parked in my RV. It’s been great: t-shirts and flip flops for the last month. Not sure I ever got to do that this early in the year.
I have tried to get some photography done and finally got out last week as the flowers are showing up all over the place. Here is a no-name place north of the Kofa NWR in Western Arizona.The brittlebush has exploded in bloom.
One technique I have been using a bunch is the focus stacking technique of focusing on the background for one shot and then focusing on the foreground for the next, then blending in Photoshop.
I am still in Kofa National Wildlife Refuge of western Arizona area and shot this Saguaro cactus the other night. I love these beautiful ‘things’ but not enough to give it a hug.
Last night I drove into the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge to photograph the desert and mountains. I am searching for wildflowers displays and to see if anything is showing up yet. I have seen some color along the freeway, but nothing in the mountains yet and I have more areas to explore.
Here is some Cholla Cactus and the Kofa Mountains.
I had the pleasure of visiting with my friend Ben Willmore and his wife Karen Nace during their visit to Portland. They are seen here in their tour bus where they enjoy living on the road full time teaching Photoshop and photography workshops.
We hope to see them again as we to are RV’ing and photographing full time now.
We sold our lovely log cabin in the mountains and have hit the road in our RV and presently we are parked for 5 days on California’s Rincon Parkway. So i am using my iPhone and shooting what I find on a 1 mile stretch of beach.

So i thought it would be fun to use my iPhone and shoot what I found on a 1 mile stretch of beach that we walk with the dog every day and at different times. Here is today’s:
This next image is from the old Hwy 1 ‘seawall’ or whatever it is called. The old metal is rusting.
