Backpacking over Valentine’s Day
Posted: March 3, 2009 Filed under: Hiking, Personal, Photography Leave a comment »For valentine’s day this year, MB and I went backpacking for 3 days/2 nights down on Mt. Lemmon in Tucson. We were joined by my buddy Simmons, another couple, Eve and Eric, and the new dog, Barñardo. It was quite a fun trip, and we want to go back once it warms up so we can jump in some of the pools. We found a couple great campsites, but the best was the second day where we were off-trail a little, perched on a cliff overlooking Bear Canyon towards Tucson. It’s pretty neat that you can be this close to a huge city and still feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere.
Bug lens
Posted: August 8, 2008 Filed under: Photography Leave a comment »I ordered a macro lens for my camera this week for taking pictures of bugs, and it arrived today, so I went out back to try it out. I ended up finding one of the weirdest looking bugs I’ve ever seen. Looks like some kind of a tick or mite, and there were 2 or 3 of them (including this one which was a baby I think) on a cactus outside.
Up close and personal with a cactus:
I think I’m going to like this lens.
