This is a curve-billed thrasher sampling the flower of a saguaro cactus. I found the fuzzy texture of the buds kind of interesting.
Jean and I went to the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden on Monday morning. A great chance to see some cactus blooms, birds and of course this little guy, which is a round-tailed squirrel. I thought he looked so cute sampling the produce along the trail.
My daughter Mariacristina is a Biochemist and she is always on the lookout for samples to analyse. A phone snap of the view from the fell showed this disused reservoir in the distance, duly WhatsApp to my family. Quickly came back reply red lining the pond with the message “Samples from here”. So I made my way down and retrieved the two specimen contains and collected her two samples, one of water and one scrapped from the bottom getting a bit wet in the process. My job done I took this photo. So my darling daughter this is where I collected your samples, any use of this photo in your scientific journals will cost you.
autumn sampled from the forest
Keen to add some native diversity to the naturalized land on my property, I gathered a variety of seeds whilst out hiking two days ago. To make it a bit more artistic, I gathered some leaves to add to the mix.
He was offering samples while I was trying to compose the shot. I told him not to worry. I'm a local, I said.
Samples are for locals too, he said smiling.
I'm not sure what I did wrong to cause this shot to come out so funky (double exposure, fogging, wrong speed, low ISO film?) but since I rather like the result I wanted to share it anyway. Perhaps I should have accepted the smoked salmon sample. Next time. :)
