One of the things Verna likes is to take photos of flowers and gnarly things. With giant yucca trees she gets both. I took this picture while she was taking pictures of the yuccas in Wickenburg, Arizona. Click on the image to enlarge.
American and Wickenburg Flags
I’m a couple days late for Flag Day, but I’ll share this photo that Verna took in Wickenburg during our May visit to the Wickenburg, AZ, Chamber of Commerce. The “Out Wickenburg Way” motto seen on the town flag is also the name of a website about the town and what’s happening there. Click on the image to enlarge.
Sunflower Central
We bought some sunflowers for the house when we went grocery shopping this week. I took this close-up of the center of one of them today. Click on the image to enlarge.
Compliments
These tiny orchid flowers are growing on the patio. I took this picture of these two colors that compliment each other. Click on the image to enlarge.
Muzzle Flash
We haven’t been to the target range in a while, what with the effort to build a home in Arizona and all. Today, I was rummaging through some old images from about a year ago. I found a video I made of Verna firing her S&W 686 357 magnum revolver. I was impressed by the muzzle flashes in the video, so I stopped it on one frame and made this image where the flash can be seen.
I wrote about muzzle blast in an article on our other (more political) weblog in February of 2008 that goes into a lot of detail about the auditory and non-auditory characteristics. Click on the image to enlarge.
Yellow and White Gazania
There are lots of flowers in the patio flowerpots today. This nice yellow and white gazania caught my eye, since most of the other gazanias are an orange color. Click on the image to enlarge.
