Sunrise this morning from Font’s Point overlooking the Borrego Badlands. The location is nicknamed “California’s Grand Canyon” because it is straight down from where I made this photo. Kinda’ scary!
Font’s Point is at the end of a 4 mile long “4-wheel drive only” off-road trail in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park near Borrego Springs.
I’m marginally obsessed with rocks. Bigger isn’t necessarily always better, but it helps satisfy my quest to study and photograph interesting rocks.
One of my favorite places to photograph rocks and boulders is the north end of Scottsdale, Arizona and neighboring Carefree.
The view of Camelback Mountain from Taliesin West. Scottsdale, Arizona
In the 1940s, when Frank Lloyd Wright learned that power lines were going to be built on the edge of Taliesin West, interrupting the view across the valley towards Camelback Mountain, he started a fight to stop the construction, demanding they be buried underground. When his protests, including letters to President Harry S. Truman, failed to produce the results Wright wanted, he threatened to relocate to Tucson.
Of course, he never did make the move, but he relocated the entrance of Taliesin West towards the rear of the main building.
It just seems like a good day to share photos of flowers. We need more flowers.
A different take on a snap I made at Crystal Cove last year. The surf is only a few yards away…
