Teddy Bear Cholla
Could this explain how this cactus got its name? 🙂

Liquid Sunset
There was just a sliver of sunset left by the time I was finally motivated to capture it. I decided to move my camera during exposure and I ended up with a liquid sunset.

Wild
I’m not feeling well this morning so here’s a photo of a wild geranium taken last summer in Flagstaff. At least I think it’s a geranium. I usually write down the name but forgot. (Flower with 4 textures and color tinting.)

Glochid Monster
Here’s a shot of the Prickly Pear Cactus that GOT me with its Glochids on Jan 16 as I was shooting sunrise. I was squatted down just to the right of it in order to be low enough to capture the cholla skeleton against the sky.

Milkweed Seeds
On a hike yesterday, we came across a huge Rambling Milkweed vine which made me think about how much fun it is to photograph the seedpods once they burst open. Can’t wait to do it again! Here’s a shot from last year. Captured with a Lensbaby.

Desert Broom
Desert Broom gets a bad rap here even though it’s a native. In the desert, it minds its own business growing along side other shrubs but if seeds land in disturbed soil, it grows so quickly that it is perceived to be an invasive. It’s also been accused of being highly allergenic but I’ve read this has been dis-proven. Personally I like it but I love all desert plants and really enjoy documenting their growth cycle. Here’s what it looks like after the fuzzy seeds have been blown off. (Desert Broom with a couple of texture layers)
