Greetings from Thunderbird!

Matt Perkins April 24, 2022

I’m trying to break out of hiking my usual trails and as such went hiking in Thunderbird Conservation Park in north Phoenix. The park incorporates the Hedgepeth Hills, named after an early homesteader that settled in the area. The name Thunderbird comes from a WW2 pilot training facility located 4 miles south of the park. Hosting biking, hiking, and horseback riding, the park claims approximately 15miles of multi-use trails.

Snow Moon

Matt Perkins March 6, 2022

About 15hrs short of the February full moon (known by the Native Americans as the snow moon since this is a time of the year when snow is most prevalent) the moon rises over the peaks and radio towers of South Mountain.

Pyramid Trail Sunset

Matt Perkins February 27, 2022

The Pyramid Trail runs between the 19th Ave Trailhead and the National Trail. It is an enjoyable, yet challenging trail consisting of a 1 mile lead up to a 0.8-mile steep climb through numerous switchbacks and then leveling off to a ridgeline view of Ahwatukee and the Phoenix Radio Towers.

Hole in the Rock

Matt Perkins November 22, 2020

In Papago Park there is a natural geological feature called Hole in the Rock which is…..exactly what it sounds like…a large rock formation with a hole in the middle of it. Clearly, this is not the best vantage point from which to see the hole, but the formation standing above the waterline caught my eye and was well framed by the palm tree’s in the foreground.

Alta Sunrise

Matt Perkins October 25, 2020

Two weeks ago I had a photo pickup by Fox 10 news here in Phoenix and distributed to its affiliates. That was awesome………however…….the comments made it clear that many people felt it was a fake photo since there wasn’t a full moon on the date it was posted. So here’s how this whole photo thing works. I run out and take photos as time and energy allow…and then post them on an approximate timeline of once a week. I don’t always, however, post them in chronological order. A photo I take today might go up the same day, the same week…..or might not be posted until several weeks later. So I’m sorry for any confusion but this is just the workflow that works best for me.

I took this photo weeks ago. I came off my last shift for the week and stayed up to go for a hike. I headed out to Laveen to hike the Alta Trail and managed to grab this on the way up.

Salt River Sunrise

Matt Perkins July 26, 2020

Salt River Sunrise

With a few days off, I decided to stay up and head to one of my favorite spots at sunrise. I arrived in darkness and stayed until the sun was well above the horizon and the heat of the day was starting to settle in. The Salt River is the largest tributary of the Gila River and runs about 200 miles before ending at the southwest edge of Phoenix and gets its’ name from the large salt deposits it flows over near the starting point. This lower section of the Salt River where is photo was taken is widely used for fishing, tubing, and kayaking but is also home to numerous forms of wildlife including the wild horses seen in this photo.
