East Verde River, AZ

I had a whim yesterday to drive to East Verde River, a place not too far from where live, about 5 miles the most, to capture some pictures. My husband obligingly drove me, bringing along the books he was reading and a chair. While I was taking pictures, he was seated comfortably on a chair facing the river.
You see, the chance of good photography abounds in my neck of the woods because of lots of sun and shade, mountains and valleys, interesting rock formations and colors, striking geological features, birds, flora, and fauna. We have been to several places here but we haven’t had a chance to capture them in pictures.
East Verde River is one place that is worth visiting. People flock here during summer for R&R though, I must admit, I haven’t been to this place despite of it’s close proximity to home. Now, that I have all the freedom, I can start checking out these places and capture its beauty.
Anyway, here are some pictures:
Here is how my husband cares about his planet earth by adding his stream to the river..hehe.








Wow rock transformations. Kung sa Catanduanes an, kadakul na ning galaba dyan.
Huy bawal ang ga-ihi na nakatarikod. Mag atubang ka! hahaha.
ung gayon ning mga kua mo tita belle. pero pinakagusto ko su 1st foto - magnificent color of the sky in contrast with the greens and earth colors .
doing good, tita!
What your hubby is doing is a Pinoy thing too
Lovely photos!
Beautiful pics! Arizona is a must see state, and you are lucky to see it everyday, Belle.
re: your hubby adding his stream: It won’t hurt naman the environment. It’s a natural thing. hehe.
Hi Belle. Great shots!
Such a beautiful day to commune with nature. I’m sure your husband agrees.
The river is so beautiful and peaceful. What’s the water like, Belle? is it warm, cold or lukewarm?
Enchanting!!! So beautiful!!! My kind of place.
… hehehe cute pic of hubby!!!
I’m LOL @ the last picture! Does he know this is on the net?
Inggit na naman ako. Here in London autumn is grey and wet. Actually some part of the summer is like that as well. Perhaps I need to get out of the metropolis.
I love the 7th picture, it reminds me of the Serenity prayer.
You are so lucky! I love rivers, would you look at those rocks! You are in such a scenic place Ate Belle! Wonderful pictures!
He’s gotta go, he’s gotta go.
lovely piccies once again

lol @ your hubby, caught him unaware huh
To steve:
Taksil! Humarap ka!
ps: nice pictures btw.
and nice of your husband to spend time with you as you spent time doing what you enjoyed.
that, my friend, is love.
beautiful!
this is the reason why i so love the outdoors! you’re getting better and better belle, galing!
pretty, pretty. i love seeing the nature. the beauty around it is bountiful.
K, sigurado akong pano ini ning mga labandera kung sa Catanduanes ini, saro na ako duman. dai niya aram na kinuanan ko siya…hehe
Joyjoy, thanks! that is my favorite, too, reason why i posted it first because of the striking blue color of the sky.
Mom, i think that is the one thing that men from all over the world have in common..hehe
rhodes, AZ is one of the most photogenic states in the USA.
re: hubby–buti pumayag siya na ipost this picture on the net just for fun.
Elyani, water was cold but bearable. i had to get my feet wet to take some of those pictures but i had to be extra careful that i don’t trip to protect the camera.
NursyE, hehehe, i thought it was cute, too. i hope he doesn’t pay back on me.
auee, i asked his permission before i posted it here just for fun and laugh.
you like the 7th picture? thanks.
KK, you should see Sedona’s picturesque rocks…awesome! i might do stop by there on the way back home after a visit with lexi.
that is one thing that men have advantage over us–they can do it just about anywhere that is less conspicuous.
Pining, thanks! yes, i caught him unaware…ooopps.
Chesca, hahahaha! you are soooo funny!! Steve was laughing hard.
i guess, there is life after kids. he likes photography, too, but reading comes first.
Zherwin, thanks…your comments give me fuel to do even better each time but according to my husband, i have so much things to learn, like for example adding a 3-dimension when photographing a depth of view.
dexie, thank you! i enjoy photographing nature over people.
Yout pictures of scenes in your neck of the woods are to die for. Re the last picture: Why did he turn his back?
