When visiting dunes it’s always good to look down, too. The common name of this plant is “Shredding Suncup”. Just so you know.

the way I see the world
There are so many photos … there is so little time! I continue to move back and forth between earlier photos of 2018 and current things fresh off the card. I love being reminded of wonderful trips, and of course the newer work is fun because it’s just so … well … new!
This coming week brings busy non-photography events, so it’s doubtful I’ll post much aside from my goodnight flowers. Today, though, I went back to the desert with someone some readers might recognize.
When all else fails, I just shoot my husband!

Dan and I took a trip to the desert last week. In the past I’ve not been terrific about early morning rising every day, although I might manage a few, but this time for some reason I had the energy each morning. (Photographers have down time in the middle of the day, to be sure, but those early morning shoots as well as the patience in both morning and evenings waiting for the light can be rough. The ones who do this as their normal routine on every trip have my admiration.)
