Wordless Wednesday: 1st Cactus Bloom of Spring! 7 comments
MJF Images Fine Art landscape, nature and travel images from the American West and around the world.
A photo & travel blog with a difference: Instead of strict focus on photo how-to, gear and the like, I'll pass on knowledge about the places and cultures photographed. I believe the more deeply you come to know a place, the better your pictures will be.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.
Beautiful! Such a striking pink in what seems such a desolate place. I’m visiting Phoenix (from NJ) in 3 weeks. Hoping the cacti are still blooming by the time I get there.
They should be. Thanks!
Special! I’m off to Joshua Tree today and hoping to see the same. Happy Spring, Michael.
I think you will Melissa, plus the barrel cacti may be starting too. Happy Spring to you too!
Reblogged this on chithankalai.
The first is the best! Great shot.
And that’s despite the first rarely being a very perfect looking flower. Thanks Lyle.
