I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

Photography Class Photos


We took a trip to our local plant nursery to practice close-ups in photography class last week.


I did a good job on this one……nice sharp focus.


Threes are always better than twos.


I liked the imperfectness of this rose.


More roses….and bugs.



Love the leading line of this branch.


I saw this sunset out the window and grabbed my camera…..it only lasted about 2 minutes.


We went to See Canyon in Christopher Creek to try and find fall color. It's tough in Arizona.


There was a bit….but not much. But it is a pretty area with a creek running through the canyon.

Pumpkins!


We harvested 20 pumpkins from the garden this afternoon.


I had fun spreading them around the front of the house.



We also gave some away so that our friend's kids could carve them up for Halloween.
