Fall

On Wednesday I took a trip up to Flagstaff with my friend and her husband. The plan for the day was to drive up to Lockett Meadow to see some fall colors and get out of Phoenix. I anticipated a cool, windy day with a 3-4 mile hike. When we arrived at the beginning of the incline to the top we found that the road had been closed to vehicle traffic due to the nearby Pipeline Fire. After a short discussion, we decided to hike the 3 miles to the meadow anyway. All in all our adventure lasted 8 miles in weather that was closer to 75 degrees, but a good time was still had by all.

Gold Canyon

A sunset view of the Superstition Mountains from Gold Canyon. This photo also marked my first painful interaction with our local succulents. The “Jumping Cactus” doesn’t actually jump, but its spines attach so easily to passing fur, clothing, or skin that they seem to leap out at you. In my case, it wasn’t the cactus in front of me that was the issue but the broken-off piece on the ground next to me that proved problematic.

Mongollon View

Another shot from what was a very peaceful evening at the Mongollon Rim that offered an almost neverending array of colors and subjects from storm clouds and rain to distant mountains and nearby trees. A shout-out to my friends Adam and Alisha whose recent trip inspired me to check it out for myself.

The Rim

Running 200 miles across the northern half of Arizona the Mongollon Rim is a topographical and geological feature that forms the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. The Mogollon Rim is characterized by its steep cliffs, which often rise more than 2,000 feet (610 meters) above the surrounding landscape, offering breathtaking vistas of the rugged terrain.

I got to the rim about an hour before dark allowing me to watch the sunset and storms cross the horizon until the lights from the cars driving the winding grade blurred into streaks and this cloud formation caught the last light of day.

Horseshoe Bend 2023

I took a few days to drive up to Horseshoe bend, stopping at the Mongollon Rim and Sedona on the way. This trip to the geological feature was significantly more challenging than a couple years ago. A late summer monsoon storm pushed through bringing with it wind gusts in excess of 50mph. The wind drove the surrounding sand hard enough to fill the creased line of a document that was in the pocket of my shorts and felt like getting hit with a sand blaster. At one point another photographer and I could only crouch down at our space near the edge and wait out the wind. I was going to pick up and go, but another line of storms on the horizon was providing the occasional lightning bolt and so I stuck it out to get this shot, which meant I was there well after sunset and was 1 of only 2 cars left in the parking lot on my way out.

Observatory View

Sitting on the isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, the capitol building in Madison is a prominent figure on the Madison skyline and sits surrounded by local businesses and UW campus buildings alike. Standing 284 feet tall the capitol is the tallest building in Madison, a status protected by legislation that prohibits other buildings from being built taller than the columns surrounding the capitol dome. This building, completed in 1917, is the fifth iteration of a capitol building in Madison. The prominent dome seen in this photo is made out of Bethel White Granite from Vermont.

The photo was taken from the top of Observatory Drive before it winds its way down toward the Memorial Union. The road hosts the UW Madison Washburn Observatory a historic building built in 1878, almost 40 years before the current capitol was completed.

Mendota Sunset

My most recent trip home was longer than some of the others and thus I took the opportunity to bring my camera bag with me. I talked my good friend @tracefacespace into walking around the UW campus with me and as the sun began its descent toward the horizon we settled on these rocks with Lake Mendota and a boat dock in the background.

Fields of Gold

There is a saying in photography, one I’ve said before on this platform, “the best camera, is the one you have with you.” This was definitely the case for this photo. I drove down to Maricopa last Saturday to check out a field of sunflowers. The field was started 4 years ago with 5 acres and has grown to its current size of 70 acres. Sunflowers might seem an odd crop to grow in Arizona but as a drought-tolerant crop, the field is actually part of the farmer’s research project to see how well this rotation crop would work here in our desert heat. I got down to the field, found a spot I thought would work, and opened my camera bag…..only to find I had brought everything I needed except the actual camera. So I used my iPhone. I did go back the next day with my Canon, but I couldn’t remember where I was standing the day before and in the end, felt that the iPhone photo was the best shot between the two days.

From a Distance

This was another one of my famous, race the sunset adventures, and while I mostly made it I ended up settling on this post-sunset shot as my favorite from the evening. Spartan Hill, where this was shot, sits a short distance from the 202 freeway in Mesa and provides an elevated and thus unobstructed view of the Superstition Mountains 10 miles away.
