Cleo’s Chair

I haven’t posted a kitty photo in awhile so here is Cleo in his chair.

Farmers Market

Just a mile from home, I spot a sign for a Farmer’s Market going on at Reata Pass yesterday. I was disappointed in the market but I loved their entrance sign.

Oak Creek Reflections

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

Oak Creek Collage

We spent the last two days of our road trip in Sedona camped along Oak Creek.

Fall Approaching

An upcoming road trip to Colorado has me thinking about shaking my camera at fall color again. Can’t wait! Here’s an example taken last year at Sedona’s West Fork Trail.

Collared Lizard

This female Collared Lizard typically hangs out in the same spot on the upper trail at Boyce Thompson Arboretum so you’re likely to get a shot of her if you take that great hike. She was in deep shade so I took a few shots and used Photomatix and some Topaz filters to bring out detail. Captured with Canon 7D and Canon 300mm lens. ISO 400, f/5.7 @ 1/320th sec.

Greenhouse

You Are My Sunshine

I got the idea for this montage after playing with Wordle earlier this week. (If you’ve never tried Wordle, CLICK HERE go to the website). I first searched online for the lyrics to the song “You Are My Sunshine” and then pasted them into Wordle. I combined the resulting word cloud with a flower, a ladybug and 3 images of textures. Lots of blending and assorted adjustments and here you go! I would have preferred a nice script but I never look a gift Wordle in the mouth 🙂
