Tarantula and Chris

Today’s post is for a couple of friends who wanted to see the fun I had with this Tarantula photo. What was even more fun, though, was taking the photo! I used my Canon compact, got on my stomach and positioned the camera lens almost touching the spider. Thankfully, he/she was OK with that 🙂

Tough Training

Chris has embraced Crossfit, the Paleo Diet and Tough Mudders for the past 5 years and continues to be passionate about all of it. So much so that he now has a website and will be starting a blog giving tips on Training, Nutrition, Recovery, etc! He also has a public Facebook page doing the same. He’s not sure where he’ll go with all this but I see more photo ops in my future 🙂

Climbers Trails

Climbers Trails are meant for climbers but are also open to experienced hikers. Sometimes you can see the trail, sometimes not! (Superstitions on the Horizon)

Lemonade

Our digital group is currently participating in an at home photo editing challenge to repair this image or make something creative out of it. With the help of Photoshop’s Clone Stamp Tool, I copied rock texture from another image over the blown out areas and then used a fun technique called Out of Bounds and came up with the second image. Fun stuff!

Rock Knob Tortoise

Backyard Playground

Endless photo ops and rock climbing available in our backyard…aka the McDowell Sonoran Preserve! Chris led me on a fantastic hike, yesterday afternoon, to Tom’s Thumb via a challenging (for me) 1800 foot elevation gain trail. It’s difficult for him to pass a huge boulder without trying to climb it which is fine with me especially when I see a rock face 🙂

Sven’s Tortoise

Chris is climbing an area called Sven Tower (I) this morning so we scouted the trail late yesterday. I spotted several rock faces and one excellent rock tortoise which I named after the trail. If you look behind Chris, you’ll see what looks like dust spots but when I zoomed in to clean them up, I was surprised to see Hummingbirds!
