#photography #Arizona #cactus
Photo from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. From the forefront to the back, a cluster of prickly pear Opuntia, a flagstone wall of earth tones slanting up and to the left. Behind it, tall clusters of tall organ cactus against a muted lavender painted Adobe wall, with one column barely poking above the horizontal line against the bright blue desert sky

I can't seem to get the framing right on this hedge #photography but I still love the texture
A juniper hedge against a stormy sky but the hedge has been improperly pruned, exposing a vein-like mass of old wood and dead stems and trunks that each end in a pale gray pallor

A black and white photograph of a sidewalk adjacent to street parking: the side walk parallels the left edge of the frame while the diagonal concrete parking pads make geometric patterns broken by the curved shapes of car fenders, and the radiating dashes of a tree guard. A foot blurred in motion is stepping off frame

A photograph focused on a vine crawling on and ensnaring a glass hot air balloon yard decoration, overlooking a driveway, a yard and some tall conifers disappearing into the blue morning fog

Photograph of a lava field on Saddle Road, Hawaii. The landscape is barren and featureless, but a foggy morning casts each ridge in increasingly transparent hues of lighter blue against a very pale blue sky

Scanography of a bisected red streaked on white tulip with one petal off to the side, revealing the yellow stamen and anthers

A monochrome photograph of a tree, silhouetted in afternoon light, the mowed grass of the park making circular patterns radiating from it's base. More flowering trees are in the background, laying dappled shadows fall across the lawn Same park same photograph style but this tree has an empty bench beneath it, and the focus is on the stretched shadows of the trunk

A mostly dry irrigation canal in eastern Oregon, except for a small meandering stream that is snaking from side to side in the channels basin. The view is directly in front, stretching and narrowing to the horizon, surrounded by dry hay fields on either side and meeting forested hills in the background

I just really like how the colors on this one turned out.
The Willamette River looking north from the Tilikum Crossing. The sunrise colors are extra warm and the blues from the river and sky extra deep.

Grass seed heads on an overcast October morning, catching a little light but falling into a repetitive pattern of thin streaks in shades of yellow green and beige

A black and white photograph of a nude queer wearing a deer skull mask. One hand rests on it as if in contemplation. They stand knee deep in a lake, ripples emanating from them. The photo is upside down so the reflection is above their real form.
