A Week in Review

by Dru Bloomfield on July 18, 2010

Since I’ve started taking a intermediate photography class from the City of Scottsdale Park & Recreation, my life seems to revolve more around my camera than ever before.  As a Realtor, photos are a big part of my job. In fact, with most initial home shopping being done on-line, I decided that improving my photography skill was a must. 

One of our assignments this semester is to complete a photo log, taking a photo a day and creating a presentation at the end of class.  Today, I was thinking about that project and thought it might be interesting to see what photos I could put together for you that would document and describe what this past week looked like for me.

Take a look what this past week included for me, living and selling real estate in Scottsdale.

Happy New Year, 2010!

While 2009 was a fabulous year in so many ways, I always welcome fresh new beginnings. 

This morning, I grabbed my camera and ran outside thinking I’d just seen the McCormick Ranch bald eagle land in a tree on the golf course.  Rather than an eagle, I found two herons and this beautiful view.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2010!

Scottsdale Sunrise – Every Day’s a New Day

by Dru Bloomfield on August 1, 2009

I’m naturally an early riser, and many of my mornings start with email, Twitter, music, and photos.

One of my Twitter buddies was having a rough start to the day last week, so I put this little slide show together for her.  It was an exceptionally beutiful sunrise.  So much so, I jumped on my bike to get a better view.  Monsoon season provides for some amazing sunrises.

Enjoy!

Sunday Morning in Scottsdale – Chasing the Sunrise

by Dru Bloomfield on July 12, 2009

Some people chase rainbows, others chase tornadoes.  Me, I go for sunrises.

Scottsdale Sunrise

Today, I grabbed my camera and jumped on my bike, to snap a few.  This is from the east bank of Sandpiper in McCormick Ranch.

Crossing the golf cart bridge heading back into Sandpiper. The water in the golf course lakes is so calm in the morning.

Great way to start the day.

Here’s the view out my office this morning. Wish there was a way to bottle and share the fragrance of orange blossoms in the air.

What a beautiful day!

Heaven.
