Actually….this is a test to see if all is back to normal. This image was taken recently and shows a Cardinal and House Finch enjoying sunflower seeds on the Desert Feeder. By the way, the “under construction” photo from last week shows how I installed the bird feeder.

I initiated a drastic move from one internet host to another this morning. Supposedly, my entire website will be transferred intact with no ill effects BUT I’m very nervous. So…if you’re still seeing this image in the next couple of days, you’ll know I’m still in transition.

An Aspen Stand is a very special place. Because of the extra moisture there, you’re more likely to see lush flora and more wildlife. Not long after I shook my camera at this stand, a Mule Deer passed nearby. CLICK HERE to read a description of a stand.

Stuck for a photo this morning so here’s a photo I took a few months ago. I shook my camera at a Prickly Pear cactus and thought the result was pretty cool!

I’m still not complaining about the heat but I don’t mind admitting I’d like to be in Flagstaff walking through the Aspens at this time! This is from a recent hike on the Aspen Nature Loop. Soon… 🙂

Looking for a photo yesterday, I came across a few Creosote Galls in the making. When finished, the galls will be twice this size and the green will dry out to brown. A tiny Gall Midge (Asphondylia aurinila) is the architect behind this cool little ball.
The soft background is courtesy of my Canon 180 Macro.

Unfortunately, my suspicion regarding the buds on the Arizona Queen of the Night being dehydrated was correct. My friend Joni and I went out first thing this morning and although the buds were still there, some were already detached and when the plant was bumped slightly, the rest fell off. Thankfully, the plant is really healthy so there’s always next year!

People photography is not my thing but when I came across this scene on the Arizona Trail, I had to shoot it! Happy hikers and happy dogs so I asked for permission and this is the result. It looked great on my LCD so I offered to mail them a file which they were happy about. We had a nice chat and found out they are mother and daughter. Daughter just moved to Flag and Mother lives in Old Town Scottsdale. Thanks ladies!
