Beaver Creek, Sedona, Arizona Another week of rain, and I haven’t been out with the camera, so here’s an image full of wonderful energy and colour from my trip to Arizona last year. This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, with incredible aliveness. “Mindfulness is a deceptive condition. It’s not […]
Barrel cactus flower, Arizona This was taken near ‘Wet Beaver Creek’, in the high desert country south of Sedona.
