in this morning's paper: a(nother) Sabino Canyon scene

In this morning's Tucson newspaper, one of my photos--published:

And here are a few more that were taken on that November morning,

as I ran with my iPhone on a wrist-strap...

iPhone + snapseed = perfect for a running-photographer 

I had my phone with me again in the canyon this past Sunday morning--so, a few springtime scenes:

Thistle in bloom; busy, happy bugs...

And the usually elusive Gila-monster:

--only the second one I've seen in the wild in the six years I've lived in AZ;

truly a treat to see...

And there's still plenty of water flowing in the creek;

some nice reflecting pools, such as this one

beneath Thimble Peak:

I keep returning to this particular texture 

using one of snapseed's 'grunge' filters;

I love way it evokes

parchment, vellum, and heavy hand-made paper...

A couple more 'ways of seeing' the landscape's reflection:

(used PicFrame and lo-mob for this mirror-strip)

One of my favorite running-words is fartlek.

Snicker if you must; it's Swedish and you can read here for a definition.

Anyway--running with my iPhone is "foto-fartlekking" in my book, and it helps keep me sane as I continue to spend my work-week-days with teenagers...
