Mt. Humphreys with a summit of 12,633ft. This is for two challenges, The Dogwood Challenge which asked us to tell a story using geometric shapes and for 30 Days Wild.
Thanks to all for the comments and favs, very much appreciated.
@annied Thank you very kindly for the fav. Saw a young family walk by as I was setting up my shot, they just looked at the crazy lady sitting in the dirt playing with her toys and smiled.
@brett101 Thank you so very kindly for the fav, I have to admit it was panic this morning when I realized I hadn't done my 52 week shot yet. I have started a collection of my weird glass, Lucite, things and went there out of desperation.
@moviegal1 I am very grateful for the fav, thank you.
@deborah63 Thank you so very much for the fav. I tried an IR version but didn't have the snap that the 'normal' one did.:):)
@365projectorgjenfurj I am truly grateful for the fav, thank you! Trying to balance the glass ball and the prisms on a tree stump was fun. I just enjoyed the amused look that the kids who walked by gave me. I should have invited them over to see what I was seeing.
@s4sayer I am so very thankful for the fav. Creativity and panic decided to work together this time, doesn't always happen, at least for me.
Great shot. The soft natural background becomes less real than the clear and the sharp edged reflections in the glass shapes. I think you told me once before where you got your 'crystal ball' but I didn't act on it right away and now I don't remember, could you repeat the info?
@joysabin Thanks for the link. I had to search a bit since that one wouldn't ship to Canada but after poking around on amazon, I found one that did and ordered it, so we'll see how it inspires me when it comes.
I have never been to America but the background is just so close to what i would think of an american landscape.The objects on the foreground add more to this shot.Really nice!
@stephanies Please accept my apology for not responding until now. I am so very grateful for the fav.
@pickerandagrinner Thank you a great deal. I am so embarrassed for not noticing you comment until now, please accept my apology. I am so very happy that I found this community of helpful and supportive photographers. I have needed to re-embrace my photography for some time and the positive environment that exists here has been so wonderful. I have learned so much by just making art daily (well at least almost daily) and seeing what others are doing and how they approach a subject or challenge. I thank my lucky stars when I found this community.
@gerry13 I can't take any credit for the majesty of the San Francisco Peaks but I am very grateful to have the opportunity to live so close. Using the ball and prisms was a fun way to play off the greatness of the peaks. I just hope that I showed respect since the peaks are sacred to the Hopi and Navajo peoples who were here before the rest of us.

@bkbinthecity Thank you very much, it was fun to sit down in the dirt and play.
