Highlands Center for Natural History - Saw Whet Owl Sculpture - Prescott After leaving Lynx Lake, I stopped at the Highlands Center for Natural History. It was closed on Sunday. I wandered around the grounds. It looks like an interesting place. I liked this little owl sculpture. I think it represents a Saw Whet Owl on a Gambel Oak. <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Saw-whet_Owl/overview" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Saw-whet_Owl/overview</a> A tiny owl with a catlike face, oversized head, and bright yellow eyes, the Northern Saw-whet Owl is practically bursting with attitude. Where mice and other small mammals are concerned this fierce, silent owl is anything but cute. One of the most common owls in forests across northern North America (and across the U.S. in winter), saw-whets are highly nocturnal and seldom seen. Their high-pitched too-too-too call is a common evening sound in evergreen mountain forests from January through May. <a href="https://highlandscenter.org/about-us/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">highlandscenter.org/about-us/</a> "The Highlands Center for Natural History is a regional hub for lifelong learning through outdoor education. We nurture a meaningful sense of place and foster an appreciation for and knowledge of the Central Arizona Highlands. The development of both onsite and offsite outdoor education programs and partnerships provides opportunities for our community to understand the connections between humanity and the natural world, inspiring all to live in a respectful and sustainable way. We believe that everyone has a fundamental need to connect with the natural world. "Originally the Community Nature Center, an organization that hosted programs using a 20-acre natural site in the Prescott Unified School District, the Highlands Center for Natural History has served the residents of Central Arizona for nearly three decades. The Highlands Center was formed in 1996 and assumed the mission of the original organization. Since that time the Highlands Center has grown to offer an 80-acre campus in the Prescott National Forest near Lynx Lake, has built remarkable facilities, and now offers community events and outdoor educational programs and opportunities year-round."

Mayer, Arizona is home to the Feathered Hearts Rescue and Sanctuary, a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of abused, neglected, and homeless birds. The sanctuary is the only one of its kind in the state, and it has rescued over 500 birds since its establishment in 2015.

The sanctuary is located on a 5-acre plot of land in Mayer, and it is home to a variety of birds from species such as macaws, cockatiels, conures, parakeets, parrots, and cockatoos. The sanctuary provides a safe and loving environment for the birds, giving them a chance to heal and learn to trust humans again.

The sanctuary also offers educational opportunities for the public, offering classes and presentations on bird care, nutrition, behavior, and avian diseases. They also offer volunteer opportunities, allowing members of the community to get involved and help care for the birds.

The sanctuary is funded entirely by donations and relies on volunteers, sponsors, and supporters to help care for the birds. They also offer adoption services for those looking to give one of their birds a forever home.

Five decisions in photography Five Decisions in Photography Updated March 2022 The process of photography consists of five critical steps, or decisions points. When all five come together, we can have magic. 1. <i>Where to take photos, and why?</i> Location, location, location. If you travel around the world, you have a lot of image possibilities, and if you stay in your house all the time, less. That said, a good photographer can find interesting images in any setting. For me, it’s about whether I can achieve intense focus in that locale. Location is intimately tied to <i>why</i> to go? What's your purpose? What do you want to communicate? Is photography a passenger or pilot on this journey? For example, in my architecture shots, including from Google Street View, I feel a documentary/historian role, and that guides the aesthetic I use in selecting and editing images. 2. <i>What photographic equipment to use?</i> Expensive equipment is nice, not necessary, and often not needed, and may not even be the best choice. Don't buy into the megapixel myth. What my $10 Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim with some good film is incomparable by any what any digital camera or post-processing software can do. 3. <i>What pictures to take?</i> At locale with equipment in hand, what are you going to click at and how? Camera settings and POVs can make a difference, but a good eye is the foundation. Timing can be everything too. Everyone recognizes the classic picture the captures “the moment”. 4. <i>What shots to keep?</i> Some shots get tossed, some get kept but not shown, some get shown. Being a good judge of your own work is a critical but often over-looked skill. This requires both constraint and judgment, which in part can be developed by looking at other people’s works. 5. <i>How to present image?</i> These decisions include any decisions made during image post-processing, framing, and a decision as to <i>where</i> to show it, including what digital platforms to engage it with. In my own case, my Flickr, Instagram, and Facebook streams contain different content because I have different audiences. These decisions occur within a web of context, experience, creativity, and social and physical dynamism. In the end, only we know how we “got” to the final image, if we even remember. But as photographers, we share in the collective experience of this general process. Image: Prescott Valley at dusk, Arizona.
Perspective I'm having fun going through my archives for interesting architecture. This staircase at Arcosanti (an experimental resident built town in Arizona) is actually shallow steps going downward.
