Day 040!

Sunday, February 12, 2023

We tried a new Mexican Restaurant.  It is on the main street in Cottonwood, and I have been curious about every time we have come down. It seems they put skulls in all of their decorating… Of course, none of that matters if the food isn’t any good. It matters!  The food!  (Taco Salad) Is […]

Day 037

Monday, February 6, 2023

Here is that Moonrise over Tuzigoot NM with my Canon M50 and 70-300mm L lens. This is actually one end of the ruins at Tuzigoot.  The main ruins are a bit higher, so I moved and got to watch the Moonrise all over again!  But it was too dark to get the foreground exposed, and […]

Day 036

Monday, February 6, 2023

A little moonrise watching… The constellation Orion is on the upper right corner. Looking “back” at Tuzigoot Nat’l Monument. These are all taken on my Apple iPhone 13.  The newer cellphones have remarkable low light capabilities!  But it still can’t reconcile a full moon and the landscape after it gets dark.  The secret to getting […]

Day 035!

Sunday, February 5, 2023

Last night in the setting sun, was the rising Moon over Tuzigut National Monument! I would call this one “heavily edited” because the moon is actually from another photo in this series.  It is so bright it is very hard to get both it and landscape in the same photo after dark, other than the […]

Day 034!

Sunday, February 5, 2023

There is a cement plant just outside of Clarkdale.  I needed to test my new Viltrox lens adapter, so here is a photo from my Canon 400mm L, where the adapter will spend most of its time.  Turned out nice! ~Curtis in /-\rizon/-\! {!-{>

Day 033!

Sunday, February 5, 2023

We were sitting in the Fry’s parking lot when some random guy walked over and stuck this duck on the door handle of the Jeep next to us. The Dailylife Wife had heard about this practice/fad, called “ducking” online: leaving rubber ducks on Jeep door handles. Even recycling them, I can see this costing a […]

Day 032!

Sunday, February 5, 2023

Miss (or Misses…) Anna, the Anna’s Hummingbird that built her nest beside our trailer last year, is back! (An iPhone 13 photo, cropped a lot!) She is actually quite vocal, and I am getting a directional microphone for my M50. ~Curtis in /-\rizon/-\! {!-{>

Monday, January 30, 2023

It rained last night, and it rained today.  It may rain or snow tonight. But I got to photograph another Red Tailed Hawk! This is a view of our RV Park from across the Verde River. A closeup of our trailer! This is a bush/weed/somethingorother on the side of the roads down here.  I thought […]
