Stoney Bridge

Love Shack
In our travels to Arizona, we stopped at Slide Rock. This shack was between the parking lot and the park. As I walked past it, I thought it was an interesting piece of architecture. I never realized just how interesting architecture could be in photographs.

Golden Cactus
I took a long hot hike in the late afternoon at Fort McDowell State Park in Arizona to get this photo as we dodged two snakes. Who says there aren’t snakes out here?? I think the golden brush and the mountains in the background with the cactus make this photo very nice to [...]
