The Clarkdale Command Center

For those of you that haven't been here, and for those who know I work from home, here are some photos of the "Clarkdale Command Center". This is where I spend the bulk of my day, with my assistant Boris, he's the handsome one under the desk!

It's springtime!!!

It's Spring and everything's happening out here! We spotted this cool Collared Lizard while walking around the property. He let me shove the camera right in his face (about 10" away) and didn't run away


This swallowtail emerged in the front flowers. We got the photo while it was still warming up in the morning


These hedgehog cactus are in bloom all around the acreage. This specimen is near the south side of the house


Prickly pear cactus are also in bloom. These are in the front yard.

Award-winning Photos

I entered three of my photos into the Verde Valley fair just for fun. Decided to enter them in the "professional" category. Well, the windmill image took first place, and the tulips took second. $35 in prize money...what can I say, it's a small town fair! Anyway, it was entertaining, to say the least.
