My parish church, a.k.a. the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. It faces north, so the façade is illuminated by direct sunlight only early in the morning or late in the evening when the days are long.

First Christian Church II. (When you don’t have a wonderful image, play with posterization and layers and other gimmicks.)

The mystery echinocereus. It’s supposed to be E. dasyacanthus, but the flower doesn’t match the seed list description. (This is another instance where the camera doesn’t get the color quite right, though it’s closer than yesterday’s photo. The flowers are a slightly more purplish than they appear here. This goes for the ones in the header art, too.)
