Went to Scottsdale for a long weekend with a group of girlfriends. Had a wonderful time. The first nite, we took an evening tour of Taliesen West designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The image on the left was taken in the sculpture garden at nite. This was a handheld shot taken at ISO 3200. I did run Noise Ninja to remove some of the noise but the image quality was surprisingly good.

For one day, we took a day trip to Sedona…

In Sedona, there were scattered thunderstorms. We did manage to go hiking and avoid all the rain. Here is a grab shot from the trolley ride that we took after the hike. As you can see, it was raining and wet. I find Sedona amazing with the colors of the rocks.

Along the path, there were many small bouquets of daisies scattered among the rocks. Here is a an example.
