Housing development on Miller Canyon Road... showing just how close the fire got to some houses. Slurry makes a mess, but saves property!

The Monument Fire... burned more than 30,000 acres in the Coronado National Forest - not including the acres burned across the Mexican border... Reseeding has begun on the trails now stricken with flooding during the monsoon season. The fire took many homes, sacred structures, and memories for many Sierra Vista residents - past and present. The next 12 days will look at some of the specifics left behind in this photo journalistic view. This photo was taken down Carr Canyon Road behind the Mesquite Tree restaurant which was saved from the fire.

Standing in my grandma's old room, I happened across this shot of a bunch of misc on her dresser... This photo is SO her! Cupie dolls, fancy hats, flowers, articles, warm sweaters... like a Nonny montage! Snapped this with my iPhone and processed it to a more vintage look.

One last hold over from the Fortnight at the Disneyland Resort series... Fireworks! One of the reasons I go to the DLR! LOVE their shows! These were hand held shots so they aren't perfect, yet I thought they turned out interesting... kinda look like nebula or glitter in the sky! The tip top of the Matterhorn is seen at the bottom based on where we were standing. These are processed with natural color.

Skyline in the entry plaza of Disney's California Adventure Park which neighbors Disneyland - for those of you who have not been there in the past 10 years. DCA is celebrating it's 10th Anniversary this year, however it is undergoing a huge facelift and re-imagineering. This information booth has been removed since our recent visit. Processed to natural color.

Project 365 131/365

It was June Gloom in So Cal when we visited for this photo, and there were a few days the sky at night was also looking particularly murky with reflection of the park lighting; hence why the sky is not black in this photo. Star Tours recently relaunched as 2.0!

Project 365 129/365

The one thing I like best about DLR is their ability to utilize the most beautiful plants because of the moister climate than we have in Arizona. This was shot outside Tarzan's treehouse and edited in part with vibrant color.
