I started a photography class, offered through the City of Scottsdale, earlier this month. The instructor, Mary Gulino, has done an exceptional job helping me find my way around my new Canon Rebel.
One of the comments Mary made to our class was not to get stuck behind the camera and miss the beauty of life as it passes by. A simple comment that hit home for me. Especially now, at this time of year.
Scottsdale has so much going on in the winter months. In January, it was the Barrett-Jackson and Russo and Steele car shows. During February, Scottsdale hosted the Arabian Horse Show, and this week, the Phoenix Open was held at the Scottsdale TPC. Cactus League spring training starts March 3rd. The Renaissance Fair is on-going. Bike paths are filled with runners, walkers, and riders. The skies are blue, and the weather is fine. Life is good.
When you live in a place like Scottsdale that has so much going on, I think it’s easy for residents to forget to take time off and play along with our winter visitors. Mary prompted me to think a bit bigger, and I’ve taken her comment to heart.
Yes, I’ve making time to get out and “experience life”, and definitely feeling “At Home in Scottsdale“!

What a refreshing message on this Monday morning. Thanks! I was able to enjoy the Phoenix Open on Saturday with some friends that were visiting and show them all that Scottsdale ‘winter’ has to offer. Keep up the great work with this blog.
