Don’t let this administration take away your joy. Yes, what they’re doing is wrong and terrifying, but don’t let them take away the one thing that’s yours. Surround yourself with community. Do things you love. Yes, things look bleak, and you also need joy. Don’t let them take that away.

Hiking in Valley of Fire State Park (NV) the last few days and we have had blue skies, cool temperatures and some wind. The views are difficult to put into words as the terrain is varied in both color and texture. #photography #samsungS24 #nevada #valleyoffire #hiking @desertcyclist.bsky.social

Wide angle landscape photo of Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada taken midday in mid March 2025. View is of scrubby green and yellow grasses and small bushes in foreground, rolling terrain of red sand and dirt hills in midground and huge red stone cliffs with deep canyons and fissures in the distance producing interesting shadows and providing depth the photo. Bright blue sky with long streaks of white partially opaque clouds frame the top of the photo which was taken on a bright and sunny day.

I am out hiking this morning with my husband. Hiking is my primary coping mechanism for dealing with my stress of watching our country fall apart under the dreadful and evil Trump/Musk Administration. Scout Cave Trail Snow Canyon SP. #photography #samsungS24 #utah #snowcanyon

Photo taken from back of Cave looking out at silhouette of 2 people with their arms up in victory standing at the mouth of the Cave. Sides of photo are dark but beyond mouth of Cave blue skies and clouds and the city of St. George UT in mid ground, snow capped mountains in far distance and red sandstone hills of snow canyon state park, UT in foreground.

Another day, another photograph of a hike in Catalina State Park. It was warm and sunny making it a perfect February day in the desert. I was surprised it was so busy even after the significant entrance fee increase. #arizona #photography #sony #sony6700 #catalinasp @desertcyclist.bsky.social

I spotted this bird at El Rio Preserve in Marana AZ which I just labeled a woodpecker, but the real birders near me assured me it is a red-naped sapsucker. #arizona #photography #birds #sony #sony6700 @desertcyclist.bsky.social

El Rio Preserve in Marana AZ is a lovely place. Lots of birds, birders and photographers this morning. I am not a birder myself but everybody was super friendly. This photo is of the common killdeer at the edge of the pond. #photography #arizona #birds #sony #sony6700 @desertcyclist.bsky.social

Trying to get in as many hikes before the temperature soars in a few months. It was the perfect hiking weather today. 6.3 miles, 1000 ft elevation, blue skies and sunshine = bliss! Pima Canyon Trail. No water in wash or wildflowers yet. #photography #samsungS24 #arizona #hiking

We packed a Chipotle picnic to watch the sunset at Catalina SP. Hubby forgot the forks so we had to make aluminum "scoops" from the lids and I forgot my SD card so I stole one from his camera. Oops! We 😍 it here in the winter. #photography #sony #catalinasp @desertcyclist.bsky.social

This is what procrastination looks like in my life. I planted my seeds indoors many weeks ago and they really NEED to be planted outdoors in my garden this weekend. 11 varieties of 🍅, 6 varieties of peppers and lots of flowers. My happy place! Zone 9B #veggiegarden #gardening #procrastination

In an attempt to maintain some sanity from the chaos created by this current administration, my husband and I wander in the desert to absorb its never-ending beauty.

My last outing today with my 12 year Nikon DSLR. It has been well loved but I have decided to upgrade.

I am seriously in 😍 with my backyard 🐝 bees! I may just let more of my plants go to flower so I attract more of them. I currently have 30+ bees on my flowering bok choy and I find myself "visiting" them almost hourly. #vegetablegardening #photography #bees #joy

I let my bok choy in my backyard garden go to flower and the bees 🐝 are loving these yellow flowers. These are the shyest bees I have ever seen as just my presence in the yard causes them to fly away. I had to use my long lens to get these photos. Zone 9B #vegetablegardening #photography #bees

Taking my plant babies outside for the first time for a few hours. I am hoping to plant in a couple of weeks as the tomatoes are getting too big to hit under the grow lights. I might have started more 🌱 than I have room for outside. ZONE 9B #gardening #vegetablegarden #hardeningoff #seedlings

Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock hike near Sedona, AZ. We arrived early only to find it was completely fogged in. We made some tea in our van kitchen and waited it out. Later we added a stop to Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park which was so lovely and peaceful. #Arizona #Sedona #hiking #photography

Cave Creek (AZ) hike with my hubby. We weren't sure the weather was going to hold as the sky looked quite ominous. It turned into a lovely day with blue skies, sunshine and few people. #hiking #cavecreek #weather #arizona

Yikes! Should we continue? Storm approaching?

My peas look good and have flowers on most plants. My lettuce is OK, but needs another succession of seeds. My carrots 🥕 were too closely planted and are stunted. My flowers are looking great with wildflower seeds just peaking through. Zone 9B. #vegetablegarden #greenstalk #earthbox #myhappyplace

Gardening is my happy place. Almost everything pictured started from seed. I appreciate that my husband doesn't complain about the not-so pretty indoor seed starting cart in the middle of our living room. Today, another order of seeds arrived from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. Joy!!! Zone 9b.
