New Bridge over Oak Creek

Road Construction is finally finished into Sedona. All intersections are now round-a-bouts allowing traffic to move quickly and this new bridge was constructed beside Tlaquepaque making it much easier to cross the road plus giving me a new photo op:-)

River Eggs

Roots hanging over the bank of Oak Creek – Topaz enhanced. These river rocks looked like eggs hidden among the roots. Probably not chocolate 🙂

 

Sedona Flora

A quick shot of a plant near our campground. I think it might be Ground Cherry but I sent a request for ID to my botanist friend Steve for confirmation. Whatever it is, I always try to get a better shot of it than I did last time. I like the dead grasses in the background. Update from Steve…it’s not Ground Cherry. It’s probaby a Nightshade which is poisonous. Still a fun photo op 🙂

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 🙂

Ponderosa Pines

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.

Oak Creek Reflections

The reflected colors are from the sky, red rocks and Sycamore trees.
