Gallery 1-3 - Scenes in the Southwest

In many of these scenes the animals and trees call out to us in a way that seems as timeless as the terrain they inhabit. Others speak of the rich and mixed cultural heritage of the Southwest--Native, Hispanic and American. In every case, the scenes are real, very real, and it is the art of digitography that has brought them alive. Be sure and check our other galleries; they overlap a little.

If you are from the Tucson area or just love this special place, we have a special page for you--Old Tucson Only.

For your convenience, we've placed only a few images on each page of this gallery. When you are ready, go back to pages 1, 2, or go to Old Tucson Only in this Gallery, or use the tags at the top to view other galleries on our site and place your order.

Peeps

◄ Peeps

Peeps© shows two Gambel’s quail. One of these is a chick not quite ready to branch out on its own. Right now it seems to want the comfort and shelter of its wary parent. We couldn’t get close enough to hear the conversation between them, but we’re sure it began and ended with just a “peep”. Edition size: 39 small; 20 large; artist: Laurie Larwood.

Silent Visitor

Silent Visitor ▲

Silent Visitor©. The day is dark and overcast with a bit of fog. Somewhere in the desert there is a tableau of cactus, lichen, and rock that brightens even under the subdued light of the day. And unexpectedly, a little ocelot scampers soundlessly up the rocks in search of an appetizing and sleepy bunny. Edition size: 39 small; 39 large; artist: Laurie Larwood.

Stopping Place

◄ Stopping Place

Stopping Place©. Hidden between the flowering palo verdes and towering saguaros, someone has abandoned an old wagon. Judging from the weathered wood, this wagon has been out here alone for decades…perhaps a century or more. What did the wagon see? Who did it help along their way? Why was it forgotten here? Edition size: 39 small; 39 large; artist: Sherry Shamroth.

Taking a Break ►

Taking a Break©. This little humming bird is caught in the unusual position of resting between flights. Perhaps he was daydreaming for a moment about the nectar in some distant flower. Apparently they do hold still, but not for long. In another instant, he was gone to check on his nearby clutch of eggs. Edition size: 39 small; 17 large; artist: Laurie Larwood.

◄ Toward Twilight

Toward Twilight© a coyote wanders stealthily down the Rincon Mountains in search of a morsel or two. He stands now, before a little rock outcrop in Arizona’s Saguaro National Park East. The sun is beginning to drop, and the air is becoming cooler. He waits. Edition size: 49 small; 35 large; artist: Sherry Shamroth.

◄ Uh, oh!

Uh, oh!© What’s a western cottontail to do when it sees some unwelcome dinner guests? In this case, the bunny seems to be evading its responsibility to assist the guests; unlike jack rabbits that run from predators, cottontails are more likely to freeze and hope they aren’t recognized. In this case, the bunny lived happily forever after…or at least for as long as we watched. Edition size: 49 small; 24 large; artist: Laurie Larwood.
