A Sonoran Perspective

So, finding myself in a backyard in the Sonoran desert one unbearably hot summer afternoon, I decided to make a short photo adventure to capture the textures of nature in this area. 

Interesting, provocative, perhaps even avant-garde? Probably not. 
But if you're from the Southwest United States, have ever been here, or would like to know what kind of flora you're going to run into, here's a good reminder.
mm spiny


pods like summer bells


rusted wagon wheels bring us back


ceramic mischief


tangled angles


these are the citizens with which you must bicker


mesquite ceilings


aloe vera shades


prickly pear parties


homage


useless leaflets


cactus rainbows shine the most


ask the fairy, she knows it all


Hope you enjoyed the photos and captions, feel  free to leave comments! :)

A New Post! to Keep It Interesting

It's summer here in Flagstaff, Arizona which is personally the best season as the weather's perfect, all of the students are gone, and there's tons of activities to do outside! Here's a few photos and a video from my summer so far...


May 28th, Memorial Day Kegball, a Flagstaff classic. 


Celebratin' Americuh
First time I seen this shirt and I LOVE it <3

Me and the Mark, loving it.


Kicking ass and taking property at Monopoly.


3rd Annual Flagstaff Hullabaloo-- Celebrating all things Flagstaff...
Including hula hoops, fairy wings, stilted people...


Huge puppets you can get inside of and dress up...




A "Shrine to The Devine"...


And of course, silly costumes!!! :)




This is where I work this summer, the Pepsi Amphitheatre


A recent work event, the band Fun.


And my kitty cat Minimus Regina in a spectacular pose.


This is a video from the Flagstaff Hullabaloo I took on my phone (that's right, that man in red is trying to hula hoop with a beer in hand). It really exemplifies Flagstaff summers and I hope you enjoy it!!
