WooHoo!
This spring, I entered one photo in the annual National Audubon Society photography contest. Of almost 10,000 photos entered, my photo was selected as one of the Top 100.
I’m super excited. Yet… I don’t know how to celebrate this – Suggestions, anyone?
See all of the Top 100, as the introduction says, “in no particular order” here: The 2022 Audubon Photography Awards: The Top 100
And the winning photos here: The 2022 Audubon Photography Awards: Winners
I invite you to see my other work here: Tamara Enz
Hooray!

Monsoon season
After months and years of drought, the rains have come. With them, the desert is green and the flowers begin.

An unexpected spring
Textures, colors, grasshoppers, darkling beetles, and cactus; a bull leaves a dry water hole; starving horses move to a water tank while vultures circle overhead. Drought drags on, fire rages, and summer monsoons seem far away.

New Mexico style
When the arroyo gets a bit too aggressive, and wind threatens to take what’s left of the road, when you’re hard-pressed against the canyon wall, and there’s not much space for a rig to squeeze through, you know what to do. Put those old cars to work. The seat needs reupholstering, but marvel that 60, 70, 80 years later, the steel holds its rust lazily, the chrome sparkles, and the headlight might still work if only the other parts cooperate.
Maybe I need some erosion control, too.
