Prior to Sunday's departure yesterday I met with Terri (one of my Focusing On Life collaborative blog sisters) and Barbara Carroll, a wonderful friend & photographer that I met thru Tracey Clark's "Picture" classes. We spent the day doing what we love to do....taking pictures. Barbara took us down to the Barrio in Tucson to shoot old & colorful doors & buildings. Oh what fun we had.
Who wouldn't want a blue house with an orange door??
I would love to take this fence home with me....what a backdrop for "anything"!!
The skies are so blue, the clouds swirl about creating visions of white poufs.
The hummingbirds are plentiful and stay around long enough for me to snap their portrait.
And the bougenvillas are still in bloom with their lush pink flowers.
I am also sharing more photos, ideas for adding text to images and free fonts over at my collaborative blog "Focusing on Life." Please come visit me there too!!
And I apologize upfront for not commenting on your blogs, I will catch up with all of you when I return from my vacation. Thanks so much!!
Until next time....
I've only been to Arizona once, and loved it! You've captured it beautifully! Enjoy your vacation.
ReplyDeletethat orange door is too great. what a great find. we saw a bit of Arizona on our out west camping adventure recently ... so wish to see more soon. you enjoy your trip. (:
ReplyDeleteLooks like you two had a great time.
ReplyDeleteOh, Deanna! What a trip of a lifetime - I can't wait to hear more... perhaps one year, I will go...
ReplyDeleteI love that orange door!
Loving your photo journal!!! Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooooo jealous. I heard from two of my AZ friends yesterday and now your blog this morning. I'm spending part of tomorrow with my sister and can promise that I'm going to be angling for an inviation to her Tucson home. Glad you're having a great time.
ReplyDeleteWhat great fun you are going to have at the Shutter Sisters event. Love your photos here, and will stop by your collaborative blog. Have a great time!!! and will look forward to seeing all of your shots and hearing all about this event!
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks like you are having a ball! The photos are delightful, especially the old wood fence. Enjoy your time!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip ... our blogs will be around when you (and I!) return home. Getting excited and seeing your photos just add to that. Do the hummingbirds really stay still long enough to shoot (photos)? Around these part you can barely see them, much less take photos.
ReplyDeletexo

ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures! Love the first one! Orange door so inviting! An interesting person must live there!

ReplyDeleteYou captured such a variety of images here -- and all so well. Just love the orange door, and also the hummingbird and palm trees. Have a wonderful experience at Oasis!
ReplyDeleteooohhhh that orange door is dreamy!!
ReplyDeleteI love Arizona, and although we left it due to tiring of the extreme heat of the previous 20 years, there are so many things I loved about it and Tucson is one of them. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're capturing AZ beautifully. Don't know how I missed this post!
