Animas Forks Relic

The most photographed truck in Animas Forks Ghost Town has now been captured by my DroidX 🙂

Greenhouse

A DroidX shot of the Greenhouse at Boyce Thompson Arboretum.

Tree and Marcus Landslide

This composite contains 6 images with one dating back 10 years. The base is a DroidX black and white shot of a dead tree captured last week in front of the Marcus Landslide. I then added the following images: a Flagstone tile from my patio, a field of dried flowers, a field of grasses, a rusty car door and a silhouette of a raven. (The other bird is a PS brush). Lots of blending, several color and tonal adjustments, a couple of filters applied and voila! You either love or hate this stuff. I obviously love it 🙂

Drover’s Bunk

Another DroidX shot from the Drover’s Shack at Boyce Thompson Arboretum but looking inside this time. The room was pretty dark except for light from two windows so I held the phone firmly against the window frame, held my breath and pressed the shutter.

Dog Meets Droid

A dog captured at Boyce Thompson Arboretum by a DroidX. Love this camera 🙂

North Access Loop

Yesterday morning, Chris and I hiked what I call the North Access Loop (of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve). For those interested, we started at the North Access trail head and hiked up Tom’s Thumb Trail to the junction of East End Trail, turned left and headed down East End to the Windmill Trail junction; turned left on Windmill and continued to Coachwhip entering the Regional Park; stayed on Coachwhip to the Pemberton Trail; followed Pemberton around crossing back into the Preserve; took a spur over to the Marcus Landslide Trail and then back to the parking area. All in all, it’s just under 9 miles. Whew! So how long did it take? Just a few minutes over 4 hours. That’s slow for Chris but darned good for me considering the elevation gains. My Crossfit training is paying off 🙂

DroidX capture at start of descent on East End Trail. See how steep it is?!

Favorite Things

A composite of two of my favorite things. Boulder faces (left) and trees. The tree is a DroidX image I captured the other day on my walk in my neighborhood and the wonderful boulder face is near the Preserve.

Walking the Cat

Cloe as seen by my DroidX. No post processing!
It’s no wonder this photography is addictive 🙂
