Image details from Spence
This picture was taken on our way back from a wildflower hunting trip to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum on 3/30/2010. I live in Fountain Hills and have often gone out looking for (with no luck I may add) the wild horses that live in the Pima-Maricopa Indian community. This turned out to be our lucky day as they were grazing about 400 feet off of the Beeline Highway south of the canal. Unfortunately is was mid day so the contrast is a little rough, but the horses co-operated in posing for a large number of photo’s. My wife Sue and I could not get over how healthy they all looked! I ended up having to jump up and down, wave my hat and hoot at them to get them to all look up at the same time. I used a Nikon D90, 80-200mm lens at f/9.5, set at 100mm and 1/250sec. If anyone is interested, you can go to the Pima-Maricopa Indian Community web page and fill out adoption papers for these wonderful animals…

coyote by marianne skov jensen

Image details:
I noticed this Coyote at the end of my driveway as I was leaving for an errand. He was rubbing his head along the ground…back and forth…so I thought something was irritating his eyes. I then noticed he had prey and seemed to be marking it with his scent by rubbing the sides of his face on it and rolling around on it. Pretty neat! By the time he noticed me, I was right across from him. He looked up and stood still for just a few moments. Because I always have a camera with me, I was able to get this clear shot!

Details from Spence
This picture was taken on the way home from the 4 Peaks wilderness area after finding no wildflowers blooming in the desert near 4 Peaks. I figured it was just too early in the season when I came upon these growing near the Beeline Highway. I did very little processing to the pictures other than decreasing the saturation and some cropping and contrast/brightness adjustments due to the strong afternoon sun.

ExposureTime – 1/500 seconds
ExposureProgram – -1 manual mode
