It Comes, It Goes
Just another quick post today. This photo from Paradise Valley is one of my favorite areas to visit that is within 20 minutes of town. Quick trips are great filler for an evening of boredom or longing.
Martinsdale Waterside I
I’ve been talking about the Martinsdale Reservoir for the past couple of posts, but haven’t shown any images yet. So today, let me take you there. These magenta flowers were only growing in a few areas around the water’s edge, but added splendidly to the scene. As my friend Vicki noted about her last visit…a [...]
Color on High
Today was without question one of the best photo days I’ve ever had. My buddy, Jay, and I headed north to the Martinsdale Reservoir about 1:30pm with perfect clouds filling the sky and nothing but stunning scenes to behold.
