White Dove of the Desert

13 01 2010

When I was out in Arizona last month, we decided to swing by the San Xavier Mission on our way to dinner.

Thankfully, it was right at sunset, which allowed for some great shots. I had to work quickly, though, since sunset was also about 5 minutes before the mission closed for the night.

You’d be surprised at the photos you can pull off when you’re in a bind.

Photos for Friday: Desert Beauty

18 12 2009

Well, it’s Friday again. Man, what a week it has been.

I’m sure all of you want to relax just as much as I do. And, since that’s the case, I figured I’d stick it out and get another set of photos put up from my trip out to Arizona.

Surprisingly, all of these photos came from a 10 minute walk around my Grandparents’ house. OK, I was actually walking around a lot longer than that, but it wouldn’t have taken you more than 10 minutes to get to any of the spots in the photos.

I still can’t believe how gorgeous it is out there. Blue skies as far as the eye can see. Mountains sitting resolutely, securing the sky to where it belongs.

Harsh landscapes that will suck you dry in a matter of hours, yet full of plants and animals thriving everywhere you look.
