 This is a hiking trail at the Sweetwater Preserve in Tucson.  The original photo was ‘aged’ using the Photo Lab app to give it a more dusty, cowboy look.

 Enough rainbow pics for now.  Let’s get back to beautiful Arizona sunsets.  Here’s one from my neighbour’s backyard taken last week. LensFlare app used at the spot where the sun is setting.

 Same rainbow as in posts from last couple of days but this one shows how big and bright the rainbow became.

 Here is another rainbow photo from the other morning.  In it the barrel cactus in the foreground is acting like it is a ‘pot of gold at the end of the rainbow’.  (There was no gold.  I checked!)

 Yesterday morning in Arizona, the bright sun rising in the east went through a light rain overhead and produced a magnificent double rainbow.  I’ll post a few of my favourite photos here in the next few days.

 Back to sunsets! It’s been a few days since the last sunset post.  Here’s an orange beauty from last week.

 The decorations on this bear statue and the pieces behind caught my eye when I was looking for photos to submit to our Cabinet of Curiosity photo assignment.

 This photo of a glass saguaro was modified using the ‘Orange Zest’ setting in the Formulas app.  It was submitted in last month’s photo assignment from the Grimsby Photography Group where the theme was Cabinet of Curiosities.

 As a change from all of the colourful sunset photos posted in recent days, here is a colourful landing spot for this monarch butterfly. Minimal editing to original photo.

 The big cholla cactus dominates the foreground in this Arizona sunset photo that also features some beautiful colours in the sky.

 Looking across the desert scrub toward the Tucson Mountains, the orange clouds swirl overhead in this sunset shot.

 The setting sun is a big yellow ball as it lights up the desert scrub in this photo from a couple of nights ago.

 Yesterday was a cloudy day in Arizona and that is the time to get ready for sunset photography.  In the next few days I will post here, and on Instagram, a selection of photos from last night’s sunset.  Today’s does use the LensFlare app to add a small sunburst to the image.

 Here is another shiny, vintage automobile from the recent car show.

 Here are some friends enjoying their golf round while also enjoying the views of Arizona’s Santa Catalina Mountains.

 The seagull in this post was standing idly on Imperial Beach near San Diego enjoying the sunset. I lined up the photo composition I wanted and asked my wife to sneak around to the right and scare the bird into the frame.  This was the result.

 Another day in Arizona ends with a beautiful orange sunset.

 This beautiful red hot rod was on display at last week’s car show and it was also showing off a handsome trophy.

 Found this scary fellow in my Arizona garage last week waving his venom-filled tail at me!  Original photo edited with the Dramatic Black and White app.

 The two golfers in this photo are dwarfed by the expanse of the golf fairway and the Tortolita Mountains in the background.

 This is last night’s beautiful orange sky sunset with a saguaro skeleton in the foreground juxtaposed with a live saguaro cactus in the background.

 Couldn’t resist snapping this photo of a fellow strolling past arched door frames at British Columbia’s magnificent Butchart Gardens.

 Among the many vintage cars at yesterday’s auto show was this orange beauty.  No photo edits needed on this pic.

 With the cholla cactus in the foreground and saguaro in behind, last night’s Arizona sunset was lovely. The LensFlare app was used to add a few artifacts on the sunburst.

 This was the view yesterday from the 6th hole fairway on a local golf course. The views of the Catalina Mountains from that course are spectacular- even when the golf game is significantly less than spectacular.

 I know we are well into Fall season but I like the colours in this tulip photo, taken in springtime at Niagara-on-the-Lake.

 This big fellow sat in a neighbour’s tree for hours, posing for various photographers who happened by. 

 This is one of the bridges on a local bike path, always good for a leading lines photo.  Minimal editing.

 There are many better moon pics out there and I still have work to do on my moon photography, but here’s one in the Arizona night sky taken with iPhone strapped to a spotting scope.

 Here is another purple bike photo.  In this one, it’s not clear that the bike will follow the path! Minimal editing to the photo.
