Bonny Puckett > The red barrel cactus in my front yard is blooming right now. I just love the colors of these flowers with their subtle tones of pinks, oranges and yellows. The harshness of the desert never ceases to amaze me, but there is so much delicate beauty to be found in the desert as well. These flowers for instance look so delicate and fragile in sharp contrast to the trecherous spines they sit amongst.

Bonny Puckett > Well its the middle of June and everyone always thinks its insanely hot in Arizona this time of year. The truth is, this summer has been relatively cool so far. Right now for instance, it's only 85 degrees. That's perfect weather for getting out and seeing some of what AZ has to offer. Go for a hike, lounge by the pool or take a stroll through the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens. That's where I was when I saw these beautiful wild flowers showing off their spring color late into the season. This goes to show that the desert isn't all just dirt and cactus.

Bonny Puckett > Arizona is well known for its beautiful sunsets and this one was certainly no exception. I exposed this shot to silhouette the two sagauros against the colorful backdrop of the sky. This photo really captured the full spectrum of color this sunset offered.

Bonny Puckett > This is an old tonka truck that is incorporated as recycled materials into the sculpture of a horse that stands in the parking lot of the Plaza Fountainside in Fountain Hills. The combination of rust and dents help to accentuate that this toy is a timeless treasure far too valuable to just be thrown away.

Bonny Puckett > I was out hiking in the Superstition Mountains when I noticed the shadow of this saguaro framed perfectly against the diamond shaped bolder sitting behind it. That made this a landscape shot I just couldn't pass up. It was a quick day hike and a long trail so I didn't have my DSLR with me, only a point and shoot, but I think I was still able to capture the beauty of the landscape pretty well.

Bonny Puckett > This hand painted Russian nesting doll was sent to me as a gift. The colors really stand out in this photo. To capture this shot, I placed the main focus on the largest doll in the foreground, while blurring the smaller dolls that are sitting in the background.

Bonny Puckett > Happy Independence Day!! I hope everyone has a safe & fun 4th of July weekend! In honor of the holiday, I snapped this photo of a large US flag near my home. The sun was behind the flag, shining through the fabric, giving it some nice highlights. Effects were done in post processing to enhance the ripples in the fabric and give the stars a nice glow.

Bonny Puckett > I was out and about yesterday afternoon and saw this painting. The colors and texture really caught my eye.
