Tricolored Heron has its wings up high as it walked toward me through the water.  A beautiful reflection of the bird and motion of the water add to the overall beauty of this nature image.

Tricolored Heron, with its wings spread high and wide, makes me think of angel wings.

Fashioned after a small Mexican village, Tlaquepaque, pronounced ta-lock-a-pock-key, is a must see for it's architecture, art galleries, crafts, and restaurants located in Sedona. Everywhere there are little pockets of beauty such as the courtyard captured here with a beautiful statue surrounded by water features and flowers. The metal doors are open welcoming visitors to step beyond the walled arch to venture within

Everywhere there are little pockets of beauty such as the courtyard captured here with a beautiful statue surrounded by water features and flowers.

One can spend the whole day exploring all the beautiful little pockets in Tlaquepaque located in Sedona, AZ.

Yosemite Falls in Black and White

The photograph opens like a breath of cold mountain air—Yosemite Falls rising out of the valley in stark black‑and‑white drama, every detail sharpened by winter’s grip. 
The upper fall dominates the frame, a white torrent dropping from a cleft in the granite as if poured from the sky itself. The water doesn’t look soft or misty—it looks heavy, almost metallic, a bright vertical ribbon against the dark, weather‑worn rock. You can almost hear it: a deep, continuous roar echoing through the cold morning air.
The storm that passed earlier has left the valley in a state of restless calm. Light breaks through in angled beams, catching the waterfall and the frozen spray clinging to the cliff. The shadows are deep and velvety, giving the granite walls a sense of mass and age—like ancient cathedral pillars carved by time.

A faint frozen beard of ice clings around the plunge pool and lower lip of the falls, its texture rough and crystalline. You can almost feel the bite of the cold—air so sharp it stings your nose, the kind that makes every sound ring clearer.
The granite towers rise like monolithic guardians, their surfaces streaked with moisture from the storm. In black and white, the rock feels even more immense—its cracks, ledges, and weathered scars rendered in bold contrast. Wisps of mist drift along the cliff face, softening the edges just enough to give the scene a sense of movement.
The whole image carries a mood of solitude and power—the kind of moment you only get in winter when the crowds are gone and the valley feels wild again. It’s both peaceful and fierce, a reminder of how small you are in the presence of something this old, this tall, this alive.

Easter Cupcakes with baked phyllo pastry to make a nest on top of icing and almond sugar candy, making the little candy chicken on a beige background.
What is Easter? Easter is the most important and oldest festival of the Christian Church, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and held (in the Western Church) between March 21 and April 25, on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the northern spring equinox.

This dynamic black & white photo captures a decorative post complete with a couple of Route 66 signs at a street corner in Williams Arizona. Historic Route 66 also known as the Main Street of America was one of the original highways which originally ran from Chicago, Illinois all the way to Santa Monica, California. Historic Route 66 Begin is the perfect memento to those travelers and adventurers who have journeyed and explored the open road of this scenic highway.

Morning at the Vineyard

The scene opens in the soft hush of early morning, when the world is still holding its breath. A vineyard stretches out before you in long, disciplined rows, each vine catching the first touch of sunrise. The light is gentle but purposeful—an amber glow that seems to glide across the landscape rather than fall on it. It warms the tops of the vines, turning the leaves into tiny stained‑glass panels of gold, russet, and fading green.

The air feels cool and clean, the kind of crispness that brushes your skin like a quiet reminder that the day is just beginning. You can almost smell the earthy sweetness rising from the soil—damp, fertile, and alive with the memory of harvested grapes. There’s a faint tang of autumn in the air, the scent of leaves transitioning from life to rest.

The vineyard rows create a rhythmic pattern, drawing your eye toward the horizon where the sky is opening into soft pastels—peach, lavender, and the palest blue. The sun sits low, its rays slanting across the fields in long, warm strokes that illuminate the vines from behind, giving them a subtle halo.

Everything feels calm and unhurried. There’s no wind—just a stillness that lets you hear the quiet hum of morning: a distant bird call, the soft rustle of a leaf settling, the silence of a place waking slowly. The scene carries a sense of promise, as if the vineyard itself is stretching into the day, content after the harvest, glowing in the fleeting beauty of fall.

I love walking the vineyards during the fall. The vines are turning color and the sunrise brings out colors that are only seen for a short period of time.
