Agave plants are so beautiful and decorative that they are often used as toppers or centrepieces of decorative flower gardens. This one is surrounded by a lovely field of flowers.

Palm Framing
•
What a better frame could you find for the South side of the Gilbert Temple than these gorgeous Palm Trees.

The star of this shot is the amazing agave plant that graces the grounds of the LDS Gilbert Temple. It inspires the colours, designs, and stained glass of interior of this amazing Temple. The plant blooms only once in its long lifetime and then dies. It is prickly but beautiful. #ldstemple #agave

Date Night Adventures
•
I thought our Cabella’s in Nanaimo was crazy until we went to Bass Pro Shop in Mesa. Oh Man - what a fun place to wander around on a Friday night!

Fields can also be groups of people with a purpose. One example is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Mission Field. There are well over 74,000 missionaries serving full time and at least 31.000 service missionaries. I would say that is a robust field.

Fields don’t necessarily have to be farm fields. They can be fields of flowers, fields of trees (think orchards), or playing fields (how many of these can you name). Sometimes they are just lovely parks surrounding beautiful buildings where you can take your toddler safely to explore.

Our family had a fun moment of Being Real together out on the golf course at the same time… only we were at three different courses! Joe and boys in Washington, Rōnin at home playing at Pheasant Glen in B.C., with Len and I playing here in Arizona. Gotta love having this connection! #BeReal #family

Exploring some long exposure shots of nighttime traffic on a major street nearby. This was taken from farm fields that surround a major corner off Ironwood in the San Tan Valley. From our place the traffic sounds are like ocean waves with the occasional#arizonawinterhome #longexposure

Green Fields at Sunset
•
Not all fields are in between stages. This gorgeous green fields flows on and on rich and full.

Exploring some more full moon photos and came across this lovely night shot. While the moon dominates the sky, house lights shine in the distance, while sunset rays hit small left over cotton stalks bringing depth to the farm fields.

What is Nikki’s favourite thing about farm fields? Three guesses? Motion shots always work better when handheld and in different settings, but I couldn’t resist this shot of her leap to catch the ball.

Farm fields - in all their amazing stages - are inherently beautiful. I loved how the sunset set this recently harvested and plowed field red. The one last stalk of cotton left with the promise of another season to come.

I have the best photography companions - Len and Nikki - all of us out exploring farm fields is always an adventure.

January 2026 is done. Man did that month ever fly by! Sunrises and sunsets are my favourite things about being winter in Arizona.

Forest in a Flower
•
I have come to the end of my macros - now I need a new project. Any suggestions?

Inspired by O’Keefe
I love the colours of these lily’s against the dark green background. It brings to mind the gorgeous paintings of Georgia O’Keefe.

Just Because
•
Why? You ask. Why this shot. Just because I thought it was a cool composition of the water cans stacked.

Inside Bird
•
I couldn’t resist taking a photo of this tiny bird inside the garden centre of Home Depot.

Yellow roses are my favourite. My love of them started young with a beautiful bush outside our home, then Len sent me a dozen the day I taught my first university class. Today, it is a nice communication with mother. We share them often on social media to brighten one another’s day.

Guess the Subject
•
What is the subject in this shot? Me or the tree?

While We Wait

I love it when Len lets me take his photo at a cool tree while we wait for the group in front to play…

Where Home Is

It’s funny how two places can be home. Sometimes being in one and not the other is bittersweet. Thanks family for a wonderful week. Back to warmer weather, hubby and pup.
