Went out to Peridot Mesa yesterday - (outside of Globe AZ) the super bloom was in full view - what a lovely sight covering the whole area- did some Drone photos too
on the Bush Hwy outside of Mesa AZ as you travel east you will be treated to the poppies all over the hills with the additional action of the Salt River (wild/feral) horses creating a stir
I have been trying out my new DJI mini 3 pro drone - doing some fun panoramas with is creating the "Tiny Planet" effect - the camera is pretty amazing in the drone- the top one was created by the
Astroflight automated flight and the 2nd was a pano created with the drone then edited in PS to get...
hopefully waiting for a Poppy explosion on the Superstitions but so far not much however the Bush Highway past Butcher jones has a great selection of spots - easy access from the boat overflow parking lot

It seems that 2 male Mandarin Ducks have taken up residence in a small lake outside of Prescott AZ - we went looking for them yesterday and not very hard to find them as they have become quite the celebrity birds and many have come to see them - there are several locals who provide seed and...
of course one of the "big" shots you want to get is an Anaconda - we were lucky as we saw one yellow Anaconda slithering up a bank and one hanging out in the water Lillies by a house boat - the other snakes were a bright green snake I almost stepped on but our guide grabbed my arm and saved the...
we hiked in the jungle then climbed a 250' tower to get a view of the Jungle canopy - did early morning to hopefully see the birds flying around- even got one Toucan who sat still for a moment
these spider monkeys were high up in the tree tops and bad light - but made for some interesting poses- with my R5 and 100-500 rf lens hand held in a boat
