Infrared Oaks

Still down with a cold so here’s another favorite from my archives. It was captured with a converted Canon D60 in Los Osos Oaks State Natural Reserve in California in 2004. An ideal place for infrared, it’s like walking in a fairytale.

Ancient History

If you haven’t been to Spur Cross Ranch in Cave Creek, be sure to check out their hike schedule for the next hike to see these petroglyphs. The history of the area (our whole area!) is fascinating. Can’t get enough of it 🙂

Captured in 2007 with an infrared converted Canon S3 IS.

Fire

I’m late with my photo this morning because I forgot I was leading a couple of friends out to the Marcus Landslide. Thank goodness they sent me a note to let me know they were leaving their house or I would have been sitting at my computer in my PJs when they came 🙂 (Fire devastated most trees in the Landslide area leaving these skeletons. I captured this one using my infrared converted Canon 5D. The color is result of a custom white balance.)

Chloride Murals 2

Rock Houses

Along Highway 89 near Marble Canyon are some really interesting boulders. Even cooler is that many had been turned into houses. We’ve passed by them many times during our travels but this was the first time we stopped to investigate. CLICK HERE to read more about the history of these rock houses.

Basque Sheepherders

There are areas long Last Dollar Road where the Aspen trees are full of really interesting markings. The markings, known as Arborglyphs, were left by Basque Sheepherders who used the trees to communicate with other sheepherders as they were traveling through the West. Most markings have scarred over so you can’t make out the design but if you’re lucky, you can find some that are quite ornate.

Infrared Aspens

I shot some Infrared in Colorado too. Here’s one of my favorites.

Flagstaff Arboretum

Flagstaff’s Arboretum can keep me entertained photographically for several hours. We’ll be going back soon and I can hardly wait! Besides the wonderful flowers, there are trails and this great pond full of Cattails. Here’s an Infrared shot from last year.
