Doorways

by Kristi Hines on April 10, 2012

One thing I didn’t expect to find while out hiking in Sedona was a little bit of urbex heaven. Yet, here I was, standing inside this little rundown building, looking at two perfectly aligned doorways.

The Faces of Antelope Canyon

by Kristi Hines on April 6, 2012

A few weeks ago, I took the photography tour in Upper Antelope Canyon. They did an impressive job of clearing people out of the way so the photographers could set up their tripods and shoot the canyon with minimal interruptions. This is the first shot from that series!

The Happiest Miniature Schnauzer

Since I haven’t gotten a chance to process photos from Antelope Canyon yet, I thought I’d share this cute picture of our dog Dobby at the park. :)

Natural Framing of the Fall Colors

by Kristi Hines on March 2, 2012

I’ve decided that fall is my favorite season, and I would love to spend it in Sedona, Arizona. This is another shot from my first camping trip of the fall colors framed by a large, fallen tree.

Closeup with a Chicken

by Kristi Hines on February 23, 2012

While wandering around the Gold King Mine Ghost Town, I discovered that I really liked chickens. Not eating them, mind you, but photographing them.

Lonely Snow Covered Trees at the Grand Canyon

by Kristi Hines on February 16, 2012

For a while here in Arizona, I thought we had escaped the winter with several days in the 70′s. But that changed this Tuesday (Valentine’s Day) when it dropped back to a chilly temp. Chilly for us in Phoenix at least. In tribute, I decided to post something wintry.

The Laughing Camel

by Kristi Hines on February 9, 2012

There’s nothing like catching an animal at the right time, kind of like this shot of a camel who looks like he just heard a great joke…

Inside an Icy Mossy Cave

by Kristi Hines on February 2, 2012

While the name of this cave is Mossy Cave, it really should be re-named the Icy Cave in the winter. It was full of lovely ice formations. The challenge was getting close enough to shoot inside, as the ground next to the railing was also covered in ice.

A Turtle in the Park

by Kristi Hines on January 26, 2012

I love how random things in life happen. This photo was taken while strolling through a local park where we found a turtle just hanging out in the grass. No idea how he (or she) got there.

While exploring Escalante, we found a long abandoned, wrecked vehicle.
