Photos from my retro photo album titled: Jerome, October 2007. Jerome, Arizona, is a captivating place, a photographer’s playground. Abandoned homes cling to the hills, and staircases lead to nowhere. Copper put Jerome on the map, and the removal of that copper wiped Jerome off it. Pictured is a former bank, or maybe it was aContinue reading “Jerome, AZ”

Early Spring Blooms
Garden update: February 29, 2024 HAPPY LEAP DAY EVERYONE! Many of my plants are waking up from their winter slumbers. An aloe shooting up its flower stalk. Pomegranate tree waking up. Borage flower. Given how big the plant stalks are, it always surprises me when the flowers bloom so tiny. Euphorbia flowers. A pair ofContinue reading “Early Spring Blooms”
Goldfield, AZ
This video makes the place look super cheesy, which it is, but it’s admittedly a really a fun place to visit: There’s genuine history to be found here, and the photo opportunities are endless. Photos from this month’s retro photo album titled: Goldfield Feb 14, 2007—back when I went through a heavy sepia phase. I’m notContinue reading “Goldfield, AZ”

Goldfield Ghost Town
This month’s retro photo album is titled: Goldfield Feb 14, 2007. Located at the foot of the Superstition Mountains, Goldfield was a boom-and-bust town built on the riches of the Mammoth Mine. The gold vein soon played out, and the city lasted only five years, from 1893 to 1898. The buildings standing there today are allContinue reading “Goldfield Ghost Town”
Garden Birds
A small collection of photos documenting the birdies that visit my garden. The Mourning Dove finally figured out how to jump onto the brick to get to the new seed dishes. I used to just scatter the seeds directly on the rocks since they are ground feeders, but it makes such a mess and theyContinue reading “Garden Birds”
Where The Lemon Tree Used To Be
Garden update: January 31, 2024 For 12 years, I watched a lemon tree grow. Last summer, I watched that lemon tree die. The relentless heat got to be too much for it, and I couldn’t give it the bottomless supply of water it craved. It was sad to see this beautiful tree pass, but climateContinue reading “Where The Lemon Tree Used To Be”
After the Freeze
Garden update: January 17, 2024 Well, it looks like my garden made it through the freeze relatively intact. I kept everything under wraps for a whole solid week. The sunflowers got nipped, though, so I’m curious to see how they rebound: The whole reason why I planted them is because I want to attract RoseyContinue reading “After the Freeze”
Getting Ready for the Freeze
Garden update: January 8, 2024 It’s not unusual for the Sonoran Desert to experience an occasional freeze. Luckily, I work in a hospital and get to come home with loads of (unused) paper sheets. The amount of waste in the hospital is daunting, so I try my best to recuse/recycle whenever I can. These sheetsContinue reading “Getting Ready for the Freeze”
