delay the delete

Today I’m sharing an image I captured 9 years ago. I almost deleted it back then because it was
so underexposed but I loved the scene so I decided to save with the hope that one day I’d spend
time on it. My editing skills have improved since then so it didn’t take long to get a good result.

I like it!

I think I will start doing what many suggest and that’s to wait to a month or two or maybe more
before making deletions. My tastes in photography have changed in the last 10 years and I cringe
at what I’ve thrown away. Especially all the accidental camera movement in photos that I now love.

roaming free

Here’s what we saw as we exited our vehicle at the North Tom’s Thumb trailhead yesterday. This little guy is part of a small herd that’s been allowed to roam free in North Scottsdale and vicinity for all their lives. Since so much of the land they call home is now Preserve, I think the city is trying to work something out with the owner so we all can continue to enjoy them!
