The chipmunks are definitely out an about, I keep telling them that there is not alot of food so they will have to eat smaller portions.......nope they don’t listen!!!
This crystal ball is not quite 2" (50mm) ....it is reflecting trees in my yard and also reflecting itself on a mirror.
Here's my retake of Horseshoe bend that I mentioned in my last post.(Morning Light on Lake Powell) After checking out the campground at Lone Rock, I thought I would have enough time to check out the campground at Lee's Ferry 45 mins away. I had 2 1/2 hours to play with so I took a chance and headed off. About 25 mins into the drive I apparently passed a time zone and all of a sudden I only had 1 1/2 hours, this whole time zone situation really gets me sometimes. Most people don't realize (Including Myself) that Photopills cannot provide you with the correct time zone if it can't get a cellular signal so always compare the time in the app with the time on your phone. Lee's Ferry campground was a horrible place to camp. The wind is insane there, so much so, that the builders of the campgrounds actually built wind shelters in most of the campsites. They looked like the big set of ribs that the waitress in the ending of the flintstones cartoon carries out and sets on Freds car. I quickly bailed and made a rushed trip back to horseshoe bend, which I had 35 mins to do a 45 minute drive so I hammered the pedal on my 4x4 rental and raced back down Highway 89. About 15 mins from the bend on a long straight away I really started pushing it and hit 100 miles an hour. Just as the needle hit 100 an Arizona Highway Patrol pulled onto the road about 1000 feet ahead. I checked up on the brakes hard in an effort not to rearend the patrolman. Luckily he hadn't seen my maniacal pace but when he saw me coming up behind him he knew I was flying. He then set the pace for the next 10 miles at 55 mph, daring me to pass him. That was the longest 10 miles I've ever driven. I finally made it to the bend with 5 mins to spare, and Ran off down the sandy trail leading to the bend. I hadn't noticed that the clock on my phone recalculated and added the missing time back. So I actually had more time than I thought. As usual there was a throng of shooters lined up along the cliff's edge and luckily some of the more experienced shooters bailed after realizing the sun would not be a participant in the evening captures, so I quickly elbowed my way into the recently vacated spot to grab this shot. My prior trip here had absolutely blank skies so I had composed my shot omitting the sky completely. This time I was able to get "some" cloud drama to include in my shot. Hope you like it. :)

for Bench Monday....
now it is safe to sit on since the snow has been washed away with all the rain...
The rain stopped a bit so I wandered around my garden with the Lensbaby Edge50... a lens I don't really have luck with... but I am determined to try it again....
This lens definitely has magical powers that can transform a very ordinary image into something different... it is a manual tilt lens and the more you tilt or adjust the aperture, you will get a different slice of focus.
Hopefully when my garden comes to life, I'll get better shots...
Last year on a trip to Las Vegas someone told me about a building there in town that was designed by the same architect that designed the Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA. I only had time to shoot it during the day which was unfortunate because after returning home I discovered that the building is lit with lighting that changed colors throughout the night. Saturday I hitched a ride with my daughter to Las Vegas, she purchased tickets to see Third eye blind & Dashboard confessional at the Hard Rock Cafe, I was worried about her driving up by herself so I asked if I could tag along for the ride and I would shoot around on the strip while she was in the show, plus as an added bonus I could reshoot this building at night. This is the blue version taken at about 1:00am.
Hope you like!!!! :)

There are three that are missing... August, who we bought last August and hid for a year, finally came out and is now eating and swimming with the big guys... and we just bought Fred & Barney.... now they are hiding, which is strange, but hope to see them soon...
I even spotted a Monarch for the first time.... I'm guessing it was a male... he took a sip and continued to fly off...
I hope he spreads the word about my garden!!!!
🙏🙏
forever, since we had 6 plants pulled out to make room for a wildflower garden!! I would never have done this, but for the past 4-5 years, I was lucky to get 3-4 flowers in total... I'd rather see happy butterflies and bees instead of round bushes that just stand there and don't attract any insects!!
I loved taking this photo because this female hummingbird kept flying around my head so I patiently waited until she landed on a birdfeeder to get this shot.
we purchased this beautiful Hellebore at the spring garden show... for now it will staying inside for a week or so... then I'll plant it with the others in the garden.
and take in all the beauty at Bayard Cutting Arboretum...
Happy Bench Monday and wishing everyone a wonderful new week!!
I had 15 that eclosed today... sadly one had to be euthanized... but still waiting for this one to enter the world! I spritzed it with water hoping this would help, but so far, still closed up tightly... which is very strange....
Fingers crossed this one is healthy.... bringing my total to date to: 447
