Very hot and humid again today and we have a severe weather warning of possible thunderstorms. Sethi was only outside in the early morning (until I let him in through the backdoor as he refuses to use the cat flap). In the afternoon he and Tofu disappeared in the basement where it is cooler than anywhere else in the house.

As a child, I remember seeing photos of massive cacti against the incredibly blue skies of the American southwest in old photography magazines. I used to think that the colors of this landscape were an after-effect of the film rendering or a post-processing style. On my first visit, I realized how incredibkly vivid the colors get here in the desert, especially during golden hour. While visiting Saguaro National Park, I wanted to get a few images of the cactus bathed in golden light from the blue sky; this was my first attempt. It took me a few tries to get the white balance settings right, but I think I got it close to those images from the old photo magazines.
Alma is refusing to take off Laura's fantastic Romper (hehehe) but wanted to show her love for the late Farrah Fawcett and her love for 70's inspired hair.

It was quite cold this weekend with the temperature on Saturday morning at -15F, but I absolutely love these mornings by the river when the rising mist turns into ice and hangs on the tree branches. It did feel like I was losing my fingers and toes and was getting very difficult to operate the camera buttons, but I refused to give up and waited for the light to shine on the trees. Also, interesting was how all these little ducks take a dip in that ice-cold freezing water at the same time.
There’s a quiet, unshakable charm to old, rusted cars sitting sun-warmed and still by the side of some dusty road, like memories that refuse to fade. They wear their years with dignity—faded paint, cracked leather seats, and the scent of oil and dust clinging to the metal like stories. Every dent has a tale. Every squeak of the hinge, a ghost of laughter.
And then there are the old gas stations—paint peeling, Signs bleached by decades of sunlight, maybe a bell that still dings when you pull up. They're the kind of places where time doesn’t move as fast. Where someone once leaned on the hood of a Chevy, drinking a cold soda and talking about the weather, or forever.
These places aren’t forgotten. They're remembered. Not by the world, maybe, but by the ones who passed through—on road trips that smelled like freedom and sounded like summer. A first kiss under flickering neon. A phone call from a booth that changed everything. A pit stop that became a chapter.
Sometimes, it's not about going anywhere. It's about where you've been. And those old cars and stations—silent now—are still whispering the best parts of the past to anyone willing to stop and listen.

At a quite ridiculous starting price I could hardly refuse making an offer! Nobody else did. So what do I do with that number of identical bottles?
(Suggestions on a postcard please!)
The lens for the photograph was taken from a broken Prinz Saturn camera made in the 1970s and roughly glued to a washer cemented to a hollowed out camera lens cap. Not sure where I got the idea, but it was fun to make and the results can best be described as 'interesting'!
First of all, I sprayed the water a bit too enthusiastically, sending some of the seeds flying. Then Auto Focus refused to cooperate. The last straw was when the water made them close up! One of my contacts makes photographing these things look so easy!!
All the others can't wait to... leave (sorry not sorry), but the Chinese maple refuses to go gently into that good winter.
