Even though it’s 15 years old, I like to take my Canon EOS Rebel XS out and about once in a while. I feel inspired when I carry this camera, and we can all use a little inspiration.
In the new year I’m trying to use pixelfed in the Fediverse. You can follow me there if you so desire.
There is so much beauty around us, but so many folks are just too busy to see it. I snapped this photo yesterday, hoping the windmill would stand out just a little bit better. But alas, it blends in with the landscape a bit, while the other colors dance around it.
I get it.
When I got home and first took a look at the photo on my computer I was struck by the vivid colors. The desert is so beautiful. And sometimes, hidden in the backdrop, a windmill stands alone.
Our friend Josh was in town this weekend and we met up to go on a hike. We drove up near Mount Lemmon to Mount Bigelow. It was 35°F and cloudy, but enjoyable. There was a bit of snow on the mountain.
It was my second hike of the weekend. After yesterday’s 14 mile hike I didn’t think I’d have it in me, but our little hike was quite enjoyable.
Afterwards he stopped at a cafe in Summerhaven for a little bit of lunch before heading back down the mountain. The snow started falling during lunch; it was fun to see snow for the first time in a very long time.
A snapped a photo during our walk the other night. I’m really enjoying the camera on this new iPhone 16 Pro.
It has been a very interesting monsoon season thus far. It hasn’t been the wildest, but it’s been quite pretty and interesting from a weather enthusiast perspective.
Earl and I enjoyed a very nice sunset walk in Saguaro National Park – Rincon District this evening. Though the temperature was still quite high at 99ºF, we enjoyed our surroundings during our power stroll.
We are at midweek. I’m focusing on the good things and avoiding the bad things. This past weekend we went for a little ride up into Redington Pass. It was warm, it was sunny, and it was beautiful.
Just a guy with a husband. We’ve been together 28 years and he still makes me see fireworks on a daily basis. Hiker. Storm Chaser. Private Pilot. Tech Guy. Hackerish.
Weird? Eccentric!
