A Squirrel from Yosemite

This little guy (or gal) popped out of the bottom of a tree near my campsite in Yosemite. Didn’t seem to mind me getting down to take the photo.

Pop Goes the Weasel at Glacier Point

It’s not often that someone comes back from a famous photography destination with so few of the expected photos. Yet that’s what I did on our trip to Yosemite National Park earlier this month. After processing my favorite photos, they consist of small mammals, a hint of urbex, and abstracts.

One of my favorite wildlife shots is this one. While I was photographing a little squirrel, I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye. He had just popped out of his home for a few moments, but I managed to capture him. What a cute little guy!

Doorways

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

Kristi Hines — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:24:25 +0000

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

Kristi Hines — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:56:32 +0000

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

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

Kristi Hines — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:50:20 +0000

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

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

Kristi Hines — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:19:02 +0000

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.
