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.

From the McCormick Ranch golf course (north of the McCormick Parkway) looking northeast.  McDowell Mountains are in the distance to the left.  Community of Santa Fe is across the water.

Heading back home on McCormick Ranch golf path (Pine course) looking back over my shoulder for one more glimpse of the Sunday sunrise. Community of Camello Vista is to the right.

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.
