July Photo Gallery: Tucson, Arizona

Monday, July 5th, 2010

As the temperatures climb here in California’s Sierra Nevada foothills, my mind naturally starts to wander back to when we lived for a time in Tucson, Arizona. Ah, at least it’s not the desert, right? Surprisingly, there are summer days when it’s actually hotter here than in Tucson. I’m not sure we expected that.

This gallery features photos mainly from the downtown area of Tucson, including the historic and picturesque Barrio Historico. Outdoor recreation opportunities abound, as well, including the well-known Sabino Canyon Recreation Area.

June Photo Gallery: Farmer’s Market

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

This month’s photo gallery features pictures from the farmer’s market in Prescott, Arizona. Many people think of Arizona as only desert, but Prescott sits at ~5400′ in elevation, and many of the surrounding areas are perfect for agriculture. The result? A great farmer’s market that runs every Saturday morning from May – October.

Ah, another quiet weekend of fall colors in California’s Eastern Sierra Nevada. I photographed this line of traffic a couple years ago near Sorenson’s Resort, a popular spot for finding autumn colors near Hope Valley, about 45 min. southeast of South Lake Tahoe. Sometimes the most challenging part of photographing autumn color is finding a safe place to park.
