Labradorite ...closeups of both sides and from different angles of the same 2.5" x 1.6" polished specimen I got on Ebay several years ago. I love the colorful iridescence as well as the tiny dust sized reflective surfaces below the polished exterior that show up at certain angles and can look like microscopic stars floating in a sea of color.

Winter Sunset in Prescott... from Wednesday evening a bit north of Willow Lake Road

Mid Morning at Roosevelt Lake... about 65 miles Northeast of Phoenix, Arizona

OK, I also bought a fuchsia ...and a few other potted plants. With my crop sensor Canon 90D, my 105mm macro lens is approximately equivalent to 168mm on a 'full frame' DSLR.

Winter Morning Walk... really, the only one with this much snow so far this year. There was a very light fog rising from the scene as the sun rose. There have been too many days this winter without snow (or rain). IMHO if it's going to be cold, there should be more snow. It makes the scenery so much more interesting ;)

Willow Lake Landscapes... with a long lens. The trees are budding and spring is evident all around. Water levels are lower than this time last year, but hopefully we will have a nice long wet monsoon season this summer ;).

Morning Light at Roosevelt Lake... located Northeast of Phoenix, Arizona

Autumn Walk Around Willow Lake... with my dog Ginger. Nearing the end of peak color the weekend before Thanksgiving. (re-edited, gave the images time they deserved - blended in and revised a few distracting elements such as unnaturally bright areas in the clouds)
