Some trip pictures:

I kinda suck at stuffing things here. (Dreamwidth)

Here's some stuff from our trip to Arizona in October of 2024:

This is a sunset. But the sun is going down behind a mountain, and there's clouds.

I barely doctored this photo, and only to make it look like it looked to my eyeballs:





I'd never seen a Sandhill Crane before this. There were probably 500 at a water treatment pond out in the middle of nowhere next to a golf course. The noise of them all was impressive.



This is a damselfly. I know because its wings are together and its eyes separate. (not a dragonfly) It was in a creek bed holding on to its territory.



Curve-billed Thrasher. It's one of the "not a hummingbird" photos.



Until today I didn't know Acorn Woodpeckers were also flycatchers. They're the only species of woodpecker to catch bugs in the air. This photo isn't awesome, it's a little out of focus and cropped a lot. Woodpeckers are tough to catch in flight.
