Warming Up

Much to the delight of Cleo and Cloe, this fence at Rancho Sedona was literally crawling with tiny lizards. There were so many clammering for a space on the fence, they sometimes ended up on top of each other trying to warm up. It was a cool morning so…..Yes…I feel sure that’s what they were doing 🙂

Captured at max zoom with Canon SX1.

Rainy Day Color

It was overcast and rainy for a good portion of our recent trip but wow….is that a positive for fall color! Here’s another shot from Pumphouse Wash north of Sedona. As many of you know, I have avoided tripods because they really slow me down but I now have a new appreciation. There’s no doubt my image quality would have suffered without it. As for slowing me down? I’m kind of slowing down anyway 🙂

Sedona Color

More color from Sedona. Still overcast and misting.

Pumphouse Wash 2

Another shot from our hike in Pumphouse Wash (misspelled yesterday). It’s not an easy hike but well worth the effort. There are two access points to the wash…one at about 5000ft and the other at just over 6000ft. Neither is easy to find or to navigate. I’m lucky to have an experienced guide 🙂

Pump House Wash

It was overcast with misting rain when we hiked a portion of Pump House Wash just north of Sedona. My best fall images have the same conditions in common so I consider them ideal for capturing fall color. Having to protect your gear is the trade-off but well worth it.
