Where there's smoke...

Controlled Burn, Apache National Forest, Arizona.

Sorry it's been so long since my last post!  A lot's been going on "behind the scenes!

First off - new camera!  I've actually READ THE MANUAL (Oooo!).  Mostly because I knew I could do some neat stuff - but had no idea how (first real digital camera).  Yes - I finally stopped being stubborn (developing costs were driving me crazy).  The above pictures are from several years ago with my film camera - but since I am going on a road trip in northern Arizona this weekend, and there are some wildfires, I may get something similar.  After all, now that I've read the manual, I need to practice!

Secondly, blog changes!  I am working on gradually making some format changes to the blog to make things easier to find, and add some functionality.  Since the only kind of computer geek I am is in Excel - this is going to take me awhile.  I promise the only ads on the blog will be for my photos.  And those will not be "in your face" or detract from content.

Finally - I'm working on a "secret project" for those of you who love my art, but can't afford to put down the money for a framed print.  It'll be great - and once I get a little farther along, you'll get to tell ME how this will work!

Windmills in the Desert Night

Friday night, I went out into the desert near the Superstition Mountains to get some pictures of the Supermoon.  Got some of those, despite the sun setting substantially after moonrise - but the best pictures of the night were facing AWAY from the moon...


I'll get back to the Supermoon later.  Got some shots I love from that too. :)
