Escaped the politically charged news for a few hours today with a gorgeous sunrise in the Superstition Mountains while on the way to kayak at Canyon Lake (Az). #photography #arizona #landscape #sunrise

Took a break and lost myself at the MIM (musical instrument museum) in Phx. Started 16 years ago with a former CEO of Target’s collection which has been expanded over the years. Love music? Put it on your list. #arizona #travel #MIM #music #photography

Before the world gets crazier today, we took a kayak paddle on Canyon Lake (AZ). Birds weee busy and only a few humans. ✌️ #arizona #photography #kayak #birds

Spring in the desert is so pretty. Soon…brown colors set in when temps spike. Enjoy! #arizona #photography #boycethompsonarborteum

Spring is arriving to the desert. Great time to explore as color pops before many of the desert plants go ‘into hiding’ when the temps spike! Saunter on… #photography #landscape #arizona #iphone

Rose Canyon Lake(part of reservoir) up on Mt Lemmon (AZ) is home to trout fishing. Beautiful peaceful hike down the road to see the blue sky and water. Mountain air is a good way to recharge. 🙌 #arizona #rosecanyonlake #hike #travel #tucson #photography #landscape

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Escaped to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum helps a bit during these times of unrest. Be brave, be kind and be your best person, help your neighbors and community. #arizona #photography #escape #bebrave

Time of the year where one can enjoy the outdoors and hike! Favorite place: Spur Cross Conservation area in Cave Creek, AZ. HIke on… 🥾 #photography #arizona #travel #hike #cavecreek #outdoors #landscapephotography #iphone

Holidays have begun! Thankful to find some joy in this crazy world (Iykyk) #chicago #photography #travel #macys #cocktails #Gluhwein

Up close and personal Bison (3 dozen) at the Dean Smith Wildlife Refuge (Iowa) as we sat in our car and watched. All behaved…even the humans. Lovely Fall drive to witness the grasslands that used to exist. Thanks for saving this area. #photography #bison #travel #iowa

Love when I get to dogsit Miss Lucy (almost 2 yrs old). We explored the riparian park in Gilbert AZ and then swam in my pool at home. ❤️🐶 (better than humans 😂). #photography #arizona #labs #birding #dogs

Love how older buildings are refreshed with beautiful murals! Saving historical buildings is worth it…not tearing them down. IYKYK. #mcminnville #oregon #wine #travel #willamettevalley #photography

Can’t get enough of the beautiful vineyards and tasting rooms when in Willamette region. When in Oregon, make some stops and take it all in. Cheers 🍷 #oregon #vineyards #wine #willamette #travel #mcminville #carlton #photography

When all else fails, drinking wine helps. IYKYK Spent time exploring a few vineyards in Oregon this Fall. #photography #oregon #travel #wineries #vineyards #peace #grapes

Beverages while in Oregon! Lots of coffee shops and wineries to explore. 🙌 #photography #oregoncoast #willamette #coffee #wine

Clearing my mind on the Oregon coast is my favorite. 🙌#photography #oregon #travel #oregoncoast

“Orange” you happy with these items? 🤔😂 Big #90 birthday for a family member who loves orange. Everyone dressed in orange, too! Cheers! (At least something g positive in this crazy world). #birthday #orange #photography #cheers

Yep, Scat Happens! 😂 Kayaked around Canyon Lake (AZ) since being on the water makes the 🥵 temps feel a bit cooler. Where are the monsoons? Paddle on… #photography#arizona #travel #kayaking #canyonlake #scathappens

When life continues to spin (not in the best way), time to get in the kitchen and pour a beverage. 🥂 #photography #food #stresscooking

When the news cycle gets to be too much, I get out to explore. Cute fun adventure on Hwy 66-Williams AZ. #arizona #travel #photography #williamsarizona #adventure #landscape

Escaping the afternoon heat and crazy world events meant going kayaking. Birds were busy and majestic to observe. #kayaking #canyonlake #photography #arizona #travel #birds

Food (and beverages) helps to get through these crazy times! 🥂 #foodporn #food #beverages #photography #travel

Signs that remind me of the past (college days) in the ‘Square’ area that’s not so square in 2025. #stevenspointwisconsin #uwsp #wisconsin #photography #travel #divebars

Driving through central US on way to Arizona. Missed storms, but the fields looked planted and starting to produce. #roadtrip #travel #photography #landscape

Exploring nature on McDill Pond (Stevens Point,WI) before rain arrives. Nice cool day for this visitor from AZ. #nature #wisconsin #travel #photography #kayak

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 #photography #arizona #landscape #hike #travel #boycethompsonarborteum

Spent peace and quiet at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum this morning…seems the only place to find solitude. Enjoy a few lovely pics. #arizona #photography #landscape #travel #hike #peace

Spring has sprung in the desert this week and new growth appears on the cactus. 🙌 #photography #arizona #landscape #travel #cacti

Spring in springing at Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior AZ! More to come as the desert shows us some color before the Tempe heat up. #hike #landscape #travel #arizona #boycethompsonarbretum #photography #peace

Explored Capital Reef National Park. Small but mighty national park in Utah. Let sleep supporting the NPS! Hike on…🥾 #travel #capitalreefnationalpark #hike #photography #travel #utah #nps @altnps.bsky.social

When all else fails, roadtrip and roadtrip food/beverages. Going to support a couple national parks in southern Utah, hike and help the local economy. It’s the least I can do. 🥾 #hiking #utah #nationalparks #photography #capitalreef #brycecanyon #travel #food

Here I am (again) clearing my head at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum (Arizona). Yeah for rain (finally) as the plants start to perk up. Lovely place to explore. #arizona #landscape #photography #superiorarizona #plants #cactus #hike

Desert landscape received a bit of rain but not enough to combat climate changes including wildfires. Hiking my way through crazy and heartbreaking times. #photography #travel #landscape #arizona #useryregionalpark #hike

Just that kind of a day exploring the Tonto National Forest (desert, mountains in Arizona) out on the hiking trail. Special message from my fav restaurant says it all! Would be a great them for resistance. #arizona #tontonationalforest #travel #photography #resistence #hike #pineaz

Cleared my head at a local winery in Globe, Arizona. Enjoyed the cool weather and sun on their outdoor patio as we watched ongoing expansion of their outdoor areas (including farm animals). Cheers! #travel #arizona #photography #wine #vineyard #globearizona

Exploring the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona today! Felt good to get out and clear my mind in nature. Worth a stop, if in the area. #travel #hike #photograpy #arizona #landscape #boycethompson #superioraz #quietthemind

Today’s thoughts in this world of craziness, were calmed by the Costani Bells in Paradise Valley AZ. Historical sight from the 50’s where the earthen molds and materials are formed into bells, jewelry, tiles and sculptures. #cosanti #photography #travel #arizona #historicalsite #peace

Prickly pear shows promise in the Arizona deserts. Looking for beauty today has been a challenge. Remind yourself, life has a beginning and and end. In between we live with grace and love for ALL mankind. #arizona #travel #photography #desert #pricklypear #mankind #bekind

Maybe the best advice I can leave here today as we continue craziness. Breath, margarita and nachos…repeat! #margarita #therapyadvice #photography #arizona #tequila
