Weekly Photo Challenge – Prolific

Buckeye, Arizona.

This week, Krista Stevens’ visit to the Johnny Cash Museum caused her to reflect on the prolific works of that iconic musician. That visit was her inspiration for this week’s challenge, “…show us your interpretation of prolific.” You can read the entire challenge post here. Though the usual thought about a desert is that it is anything but prolific, except for sand and wind. My visits to the desert around Phoenix have proven that concept of the desert to be inaccurate, at least for the Sonoran Desert.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Rise/Set

Buckeye, Arizona.

After a four-day road trip to Las Vegas where I captured over a thousand images, I sat down this morning and remembered I haven’t yet entered this week’s photo challenge. This week, Erica V. asks us to share our favorite sunrises and sunsets. You can read her entire challenge post here. Regular readers know that I have a favorite sunset spot in the Arizona desert near our house. Though I’m sure most of you are bored with seeing my favorite sunsets, a challenge is a challenge.

Cellpic Sunday – 25 March 2018

Buckeye, Arizona.

Our favorite sunset spot was the destination, but the sunset itself wasn’t as nice as the beautiful skies over the Gila Mountains south of the city. It looks like this road goes to nowhere, but it’s less than a mile to the I-10 and a large shopping area near our home here in Buckeye.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Favorite Place

Buckeye, Arizona.

This week, Cheri Lucas Rowlands asks us to share our favorite place. She writes, “…share an image of your happy place, a secret spot you love, or a faraway location you return to again and again.” You can read her entire challenge post here. Truth be told, I have several places that I seek out to reflect and reset. My original thought was to put together a gallery of favorite places.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Variations on a Theme

Buckeye, Arizona.

This week, Ben Huberman asks us to “show the same thing – an object, place, or person – presented in several different ways. You can read the entire challenge post here.  This challenge was easy. Lynn and I winter in a small house in a development that’s near some public desert land. It’s less than a two-mile drive to “leave the city” and be alone in the desert. It’s a great place to view Arizona’s magnificent sunsets.

Happy New Year – The Journey Continues…

Buckeye, Arizona.

Paraphrasing Brad Paisley, today is the first day of a brand new 365-page book. Considering the analogy, make your book a love story, not a horror story or thriller.

Happy New Year to all, dear readers!

Weekly Photo Challenge – Ascend

Buckeye, Arizona.

This week, Krista Stevens asks us to share interpretations of upward movement. You can view Krista’s example here. My original thought was of the many images I’ve captured featuring the Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron. Certainly I have an entire gallery of images depicting vertical ascents.
