Lonely Road
There are many stark and barren roads throughout the Southwest United States. They assist the ghosttowns and old mining camps in creating a very rugged and unique Old West landscape.
Unadorned
This image of a lone tree, in a clearing enveloped in fog, was captured on the top of Mt. Graham in Southeast Arizona, USA.
The Light Of The World
Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see. - Martin Luther King, Jr. This is an image of a cross and church near Phoenix, AZ, USA.
Weathered Sanctuary

Moorings
Another frosty, drizzly spring afternoon on the Southeastern Massachusetts coast...this little craft just seemed to be begging me to capture its elegance on film.
Central Park
When seen and experienced for the first time, Central Park, in New York City, is truly a wonder. A place of tranquility and calm in the center of one of the busiest places on the planet! This is a partial black and white capture of a street sign resting on that junction of peaceful green and hectic metropolis.
Frozen Vestige
Remnants of farms and equipment exist around the midwest and southwest United States. This image was captured on a blistery Colorado morning.
White Rock
This is a scene of a fence with the rock formation called White Rock in Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado. An amazing place!
Kissing Camels
This is an image of the rock formation called Kissing Camels in Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado. An amazing place!
Luminous Chamber
Slot canyons are absolutely stunning sites to visit and study. In these chasms, water continually carves new patterns into the soft sandstone walls, creating breathtaking formations and designs.
Intriguing Ruins
In Arizona and nearby states, there are many Native American ruins. They are very interesting to explore and learn about - certainly quite different from any other type of architecture. This image was captured at Wupatki National Monument, near Flagstaff, AZ. Wupatki is home to over 800 such ruins, built by the Sinagua, Kayenta Anasazi, and Cohonina tribes long ago - a fascinating place to visit!
The 'Wilds' Of Colorado
This image was captured in the mountains near Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - a very beautiful area!
Placid Pool
This beautiful pool and bridge were one of many similar structures and settings at a very picturesque botanical garden/park named Garvan Woodland Gardens near Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA.
Serenity
Millions of shells like this one cover the beaches around the United States. Take a weekend in the near future, clear your schedule, and walk along a beach for a few hours...you will, undoubtedly, find it a very relaxing and fulfilling experience. This image was captured on a beach near Corpus Christi, Texas, USA.
The Beautiful
The American flag - the symbol of a great country. This captivating image is a partial black & white photo of the U.S. flag, hung behind a large gazebo.
Graceful Tulips
The tulip certainly has a beauty and distinction all its own. They have been very highly regarded in history - in the Netherlands, around the early 17th century, the value of this flower was extraordinary. One sale was recorded in 1635: 40 bulbs for 100,000 florins (by comparison, a ton of butter could be purchased for 100 florins)!
A Sharp Design
The patterns of a cactus can be quite intriguing when viewed up close. This is a close-up image of the spines on the areoles of a cactus known as the Creeping Devil or Caterpillar Cactus. This image was captured near Phoenix, AZ, USA.
Elegance Unfurls
I found this red rose to be particularly fascinating, with a number of its petals coiling at its base to form a ruffle look. The image was captured in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Over A Barrel
The blooms of a Barrel Cactus grow in a circular pattern around the top of the plant. The Barrel Cactus is one of the most common cacti in the Southwest and can live to 130 years!
The Scent Of Water
...at the scent of water it will bud and put forth shoots... Holy Bible, Job 14:9. In the desert, a touch of rain changes the entire landscape - beauty emerges from withered places where one cannot imagine life could still exist. This image was captured in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Wink Of Daybreak
I felt this was an appropriate name for this image of several African Iris flowers blooming in the early morning hours. Iris blooms have 3 petals that sag downward (or, in some cases, outward) and 3 petals that stand upright. This image was captured in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
The Passion
The Passion Flower plant was named, by early European travelers in America, for the passion of Christ, because the flower structure seemed symbolic of the scourging, crowning with thorns, and crucifixion of Jesus. This image was captured at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Neon Blooms
As well as producing a beautiful flower, the Foxglove plant is used as a medication for a number of heart-related illnesses. Quite an intriguing plant!
Agave Shark
Marine predator or plant? This is a closeup capture of an Agave plant, of the Succulent family. The image was captured at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
