“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” - Albert Einstein

Stepping back to look at the entire collection from October, the theme is unmistakable: Finding the extraordinary in the tiny, buzzing worlds around us. This month showcases a deep dive into the desert's hidden life, capturing stories thriving in the details.

Swipe through to witness the wild secrets! From the watchful, quiet intensity of Echoes of the Wild (Slide 1, the desert hare) to the intricate life captured within the blossoms—like the hidden heart of The Oasis Within (Slide 3) and the stunning structure of Shades of a Blossom I (Slide 5). We also feature the diligent pollinators in Within the Petals (Slide 2) and Crimson Harvest (Slide 4). Each one is a tiny story of life and light captured through the lens.

He's Back!

For the last few years, this little Anna’s Hummingbird has called our backyard home. We call him Carlos. We didn’t see much of him over the summer, but we certainly heard him around. Now, he's returned to his favorite roosting spot on the vitex tree just off the back porch. He’s quite vocal and will “yell” at us (especially at Scott) to get our attention when we're outside, and always makes sure we know when the feeder is getting low.

There’s a younger male in the area that Carlos has been keeping in check. We can easily tell the difference: the younger male doesn’t sing quite as much and doesn't have the same stocky build as our resident veteran.

"Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don't they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers." - Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

This macro shot of a honeybee on a rosemary blossom was a result of my patience and a bit of a creative chase. I spent time following the bee from flower to flower, waiting for the perfect moment. When this little pollinator landed on the rosemary, I knew I had a small window to get the shot. It was fascinating to watch it work, a tiny part of a much larger network. As generalist pollinators, honeybees like this one will forage for nectar and pollen from a wide variety of flowers, usually within a 1-2 mile range of their hive.

The way its fuzzy body and wings glinted in the sunlight, completely covered in pollen, made all the quiet effort worth it. It’s a moment that reminds me of the beauty in patiently observing the natural world.

This piece, "Bee on Rosemary," now available as a print, is a perfect way to bring the vibrant life of nature into your home. Click the link in my bio to shop!
