Water Hazard

While this might look like an everyday duck pond this duck is actually swimming around in a water hazard for the 11th hole at Red Mountain Ranch Country Club. A sizable body of water, this pond collects numerous waterfowl and also has fish and turtles swimming around in it.

The Dragonfly

One advantage of working 3pm to 3am is that I tend to be up most of the night whether I’m working or not. Friday night into Saturday morning I stayed up all night thinking I would just head out and get some early morning shots of the moon. After that was done I wasn’t tired so I decided to venture out to Butcher Jones Recreation Area along Saguaro Lake and hike the Butcher Jones Trail. This is a relatively easy out and back hike and at its’ furthest point overlooks the lake. It was here that I noticed this singular Dragonfly sitting on a branch and, not having a proper taco lens, decided to use my telephoto to get as close as possible without disturbing it.

Sleepy

Bessie recently came back for a visit allowing me a chance to babysit her Baxter and Hercules. Safe to say that by the time this photo was taken even Bessie was worn out with all the playing and was ready for a nap.

Bessie

We had the distinct pleasure of hosting little Bessie this past weekend. A new puppy of Chelsea’s parents, Bessie is ridiculously adorable and a complete joy to spend time with. Bessie met her older nephews, splashed around in the water bowl (until we found her a pool to play in) and had fun exploring the house.
