Flowers, Gardens, and Other Stuff

It's been some time since I updated this gallery. In the interim, I've begun to develop my skills with macro shots of flowers and experiemnting with light. The colors and shapes never cease to amaze me.

Cacti and Succulents

It never ceases to amaze me when you think of the diversity of colors and shapes of the cactus/succulent family...especially given the inhospitable climates they must endure. For a few weeks during the year, the desert, various arboretums, gardens, and our own backyard put on a show that is unparalleled in nature.

Joshua Tree

The desert comes alive in the early spring. We took a ride out to Joshua Tree national Monument to see the wildflowers (more pix to come), but we were stunned by the beauty of the place itself.
