Shot in the Dark

I went to the doctor because of my sinus weirdness lately. Well, I needed to get a shot to be all up to date and safe from disease, and this was the neato band-aid! Also, we have this beastly house plant thing that looks like belongs in a jungle.

Baker on the Roof

All of these were taken on the roof. I was trying to get some good ones of the palo verdes in the neighborhood, but it didn't work very well. There were no Zacs harmed in the taking of these photographs.

Ugly Duckling

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: The desert is a wonderful place. From some of the strangest and often times ugly plants stem (literally) some really astounding things. Nature never ceases to amaze me with the things it produces, especially in an area with about 12 inches of rainfall annually. Cactus flowers are so unique and interesting, with there zillions of little stamens and et cetera. I love them. I love the desert. I love the earth.

Strength in Numbers

The only word to describe this is love.

Curly Q

We have two palm trees that are sprouting new growth for the season. They are the weirdest little guys, but super neat!

Lamp Shade

We got a new lamp for the family room. Ikea makes the world go round.

Orangey Goodness

I love this little cactus, especially when it blooms.

I love me some games.

Jagged Edges

These are more from the awesome fish my dad mounted on the wall (this { one } in case you've forgotten). Someday I'll put up a photo of the whole thing. It's awesome. Also, another photo of the growing euphorbia that I photographed the other day (this { one } in case you've forgotten).

Jungle Book

I love that my backyard is like a jungle (depending on where you stand). It made for a wonderful childhood. Anything was possible. No wonder my imagination is still going berserk as an "adult." I don't think I'll ever truly be an adult. Who wants to be one of those anyway?

I Love to See the Temple

We went to the Gila Valley Temple open house. It was so awesome. I had never been to an nopen house before, so it was neat to go through and see how awesome the temple is.

Help!

I need somebody, help! Not just anybody...

Here's why:

• I have no idea what I should photograph. I'm tired of these crazy macro shots of flowers. Any suggestions?
• No one is commenting and it kind of makes me sad. Evidently I am just as dependent on the feedback of others as I had thought. Oops.
• I like bullet points but rarely get to use them.
