Desert Botanical Garden's Large Cacti Plants

Desert Botanical Garden Part III: One of the tallest and oldest cacti plants still thriving at the garden with tons of history written all around it. It was difficult to capture the full magnificence, beauty, and height of this plant!

Tropical Paradise: Shining, Dancing Colors on Leaves

Conservatory of Flowers Night Bloom Part IV: One of the coolest light exhibits ever...on plants!

Had to take a close up photo of these super cool green leaves. The sparkly colors shine so brightly on these, and it looks like a million magnificent lights from afar.

The Fade into Darkness: Neutralized Pink and Blue Skies

Camelback Lake Part V: The brightest, most colorful skies are always seen the moment right during sunset. Wait 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and so forth after and the colors continue to fade and neutralize into lighter, airier tones as the light continues to disappear. I waited it out for a long time and loved the grey cast that slowly appears as the saturation of the colors continue to lighten.

The water reflections and palm trees are always so perfect here, making it one of my favorite photo spots ever.

Hilton Hotel's Lights and Interior Decor Collage

So many different types of light fixtures with unique designs across every room at the Hilton Hotel. I loved the moody lighting of these rooms; they're not too bright yet not too dim. I combined a mix of my favorites and added some of my favorite views from the highest floor, the Cityscape Lounge.

The Reflecting Pool: Pastel Colors at Washington Monument

After walking a long, long way to the other side of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, we took time to sit...and reflect on our lives.

As the sun slowly started to descend and the colors of the sky darkened, with hints of orange-pink hues, the reflections of the clouds became even more prominent and was even sharper and bolder on the reflecting pool. Such a magnificent place, worth every minute of the walk.
