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/-\! {!-{>

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 […]

Day 2023027!

Sunday, January 29, 2023

This is the sunset looking back towards Jerome, half way up the mountain side.  The turn off of the pavement in the corner leads down to the River Access for the Verde River. This is the Access.  The Verde River runs thought those trees.  There is a tan house just above and to the left […]

Day 2023025!

Wednesday, January 25, 2023

We had planned to cruise over to a big RV show in Quartsite, AZ, about 225 miles away on the Kalifornia border, but the Dailylife Wife had a headache when we got up, so maybe tomorrow! But late in the afternoon we took a drive down by the Verde River to see if there was […]
