While hiking in #Sedona, AZ, this guy suddenly ran onto the trail and almost got stepped on. We left him safe and alive after taking a few photos.

I caught the northern lights outside our house earlier this evening.

Some trees in the foreground, but the night sky above them has pink and green coloring from the northern lights.

While walking through the trails in Sedona, I noticed so many pretty little plants and flowers when I could tear my eyes from the gorgeous landscape. This one had some thorns, so it was hard to get a close shot.

A small purple flower surrounded by slim branches and tiny leaves. There are some thorns visible on some of the branches. The ground is visible in the background, covered in older brown leaves.

Another image from our #Arizona trip showing off the incredible landscapes in #Sedona. I could not get over how beautiful those red cliffs are against the blue sky.

A shot of the Sedona, Arizona landscape showing some wispy grass and rocks with a path cutting through, and in the background there are larger trees, and still farther back are large red cliffs. The sky is blue with large fluffy white clouds.

At the end of our Fay Canyon hike, there was a spot to rest while looking up at the scenery and red rocks. This man was there for a while, quietly taking it all in.

This is the construction just outside of my neighborhood, and I need to share my pain with you. I have to drive through this if I want to go anywhere.

Two orange construction signs next to each other. One says “left lane closed ahead” and the other says “right lane closed ahead”.

We went hiking in #Sedona, AZ. Specifically, we did Fay Canyon, and the view at the end was pretty great.

My very first photo taken on the camera in Arizona. We took the scenic route up 89a (terrifying but fun) over Mingus Mountain, and then down into Jerome, AZ. Just before Jerome, there is a scenic overlook where you can unclench your jaw. I highly recommend it : )

Spent a few days visiting Jerome, Arizona (and surrounding areas) and it was a great trip. I’ll share the non-phone pics once I go through them. It was a beautiful place with kind people.

Scenic view of Sedona, Arizona through the mountains above Jerome. You can see the layered red rocks and cliffs with the green Verde Valley just in front. The view from the small town of Jerome, Arizona looking towards Sedona. There is an historic mansion in the shot. A photo of the red rocks of Sedona after hiking the Fay Canyon Trail. The blue sky makes a great contrast to the iron red rocks of the nearby cliffs. A wider view of the Sedona, Arizona landscape after hiking another trail. Red rocks and cliffs in the distance with some desert green shrubbery in the foreground.

If you see this, quote post with a sunset
Gold and blue sunset with some thin clouds over the bay in ocean city, Maryland. There is a long wooden pier stretching out into the water, ending with a covered rotunda.

I want to post this goofy photo of my cat, Ringo. No reason, I just like how silly he is.

The whole summer has been hot, humid, and storming. This weekend brings us much nicer weather! I can actually sit outside and enjoy my plants.
View of a plant with green leaves and sunshine showing through them. In the blurry background are pink and white flowers, a deck railing, a house, and a blue sky.

Last week, we took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge while hanging out in #nyc for a few days.
#brooklynbridge #lovelocks #statue
Black and white photo looking at the Brooklyn Bridge while walking across it. The path is made of wood, there are other people walking in front of us, and the metal fencing makes a spiderweb pattern around us. Some love locks on a support for a light that is covered in colorful stickers. Looking over the road portion on the bridge, you can see tall building of New York City in the background with blue sky and a few small white clouds. Hot pink graffiti writing on the side of the Brooklyn Bridge. Tall buildings of Brooklyn can be seen in the background agains a blue sky. A rust colored statue of a robot with one leg up on a boom box. Downtown Brooklyn can be seen in the background with some trees and buildings.

Walking back to our hotel in #nyc to see this. We can’t figure what it is. An entrance to a club? It says “Jonathan Schwartz Productions” at the end, but that pulls up an obituary and another guy who does entertainment for a nearby restaurant. Thinking it’s the second one, but then what is THIS?
A view into a long hallway full of graffiti and painting with neon lights. One light says “XXX”, and at the end is “Jonathan Schwartz Productions” with some trash cans underneath.

The cats are not pleased with the noise. The one is all the way under the bed, and the other is trying his best to hide under the blanket, but parts of him keep sticking out.

Heard the cat making suspicious noises in the next room. Went looking for her, and it took a minute to figure out where she was. How did you even get in there!? #cats #catsofbluesky
Small white shelf unit with turquoise fabric cube drawers. Peaking over the top of one of the cubes are two yellow eyes of a black cat.

Had a blast yesterday at #Sessanta 2.0 in NJ. Primus, Puscifer, and A Perfect Circle put on another great show.

I’ve been waiting for this wonderful weather. #spring

For the wine lovers and graphic designers! This #wine was so tasty, we had a bottle two nights in a row. Dry and smooth! The label #design is so lovely, with a copper foil that highlights the phoenix and the title, with the “burned” portions not foiled. #graphicdesign
A bottle of wine with a white label that shows an illustration of a phoenix and the words “Borne of Fire, Cabernet Sauvignon”. Hints of copper are visible on the label as part of the design.

Spring is finally here. (I put away my winter coat, so I’m really really sure this time.)

Took a lovely trip to #NYC with @o22ie.bsky.social to celebrate our birthdays. So many fun things to see and amazing things to eat!
NYC buildings at night against a dark foggy sky. A painting of a woman with dark hair wearing a dress made up of slices of graffiti. Inside of a restaurant with a statue that has many arms lit in blue light in the background. The ghostbusters building with the movie logo hung out front.
