Reata Pass is only a couple of miles from my house so I run up there whenever I’m in need of a photo of the day. My hope is that this section along Alma School won’t suffer the same fate as the Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse where the majority of old buildings are. That area has been slated for development 🙁

One of my favorite photo ops at Boyce Thompson Arboretum is the area devoted to the deserts of Australia. It’s filled with Eucalyptus Trees and other flora from that country. To add authenticity, they even built a Drover’s (sheep herders) Shack and a Windmill. There is also an old rusty pickup truck to complete the picture. DroidX photo

Another DroidX full screen image. This time an Agave from Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Because the screen is so wide, full screen mode gives you a kind of panorama which is really nice! I used the same treatment as yesterday’s image which was easy because you can save custom settings. I love this particular combination of effects because the result reminds me of infrared. I’ll be using this one a lot 🙂

Cleo headed straight for grass yesterday morning which typically means he has a fur ball weighing heavy in his stomach. For those without cats?….the grass makes him throw up the fur ball which he usually does in the middle of the night in a place where we are sure to walk on it. Yuk….but we love Cleo and Cloe anyway 🙂

The mountain where I live (center) is completely hidden by a late afternoon storm cell. By the time I got up there, the rain had stopped and the temperature had dropped almost 10 degrees. Nice! We escaped damage but there were downed power lines and flooding in other areas.

I’m fairly sure this is Rudbeckia laciniata. They were 4-6 feet tall and all along a little creek making for a spectacular scene! This a DroidX image using its Panorama cropping. Not bad! It’s out of focus, though, so I hope to have another stab at it.

I visited friends at the Desert Botanical Garden yesterday and captured this shot of cactus blooms. There are dozens of cactus right inside the entrance in various stages of bloom including some full rings. Worth a visit!
