PRESCOTT & SEDONA

Prescott Arizona and Sedona Photographs

Hometown. Mile high. Courthouse Square. Wyatt Earp. Arizona's Christmas City. Monsoonal summers. Out-of-doors. Kayaking. Hiking. Biking.  This is not the Arizona you usually think about.

Beside Still Waters

Our eyes can find many forms in the lakeside dells around Watson Lake and Willow Lake in Prescott. Let yourself examine the image until you find lasting meaning! This image may be cropped for a 1:2 aspect ratio panorama. It looks particularly good in larger sizes as a focal point to a room with a darker wall.

My Quiet Place

My favorite tree makes an appearance in this spectacular sunrise picture at Watson Lake. The island in the foreground is only reachable by kayak during higher water levels. Alas, this beautiful tree is currently in sad shape to the disappointment of photographers who travel from great distances to photograph it. Also look in the monochrome gallery where it is featured as the main subject.

Monsoon Enough

I had tracked this monsoon cell as it headed north from Phoenix. It was headed north from Prescott Valley when it made a left turn and headed straight at us at on the bluff above Watson Lake. Within minutes of this exposure we were in our car being deluged by the fierce storm. There weren't many monsoons that summer, but this was monsoon enough.

Far Shore

The dells on the northeast shore of Watson Lake are complemented by the attractive sky in this telephoto capture.

Arms of Fire

Sunset colors the sky in this peaceful scene along the shore of Watson Lake.

Rooted Firmly

This little cottonwood has been the most photographed tree in Prescott. It has survived for years with its roots growing into a crack in its boulder island. The tree is not doing so well today, after being ravaged by drought, wind and hailstorms in 2021.

These Are the Dells

The Granite Dells around Watson Lake provide many opportunities to hike on trails and climb over boulders to discover their full beauty.

Courthouse Promenade

Arizona state flags fly proudly along the promenade that leads to the Courthouse in Prescott's downtown square.

Willow Lake Sunset

A brilliant sunset at Willow Lake in Prescott, Arizona.

Snowy Thumb Butte

A winter scene with dark storm clouds as a backdrop.

Evening Paddle

A brilliant sunset at Willow Lake in Prescott, Arizona.

Fowl Weather

Watson Lake is beautiful at all times of the year. Even a chilly day is not just for the birds.

Over the Dells

The snow capped San Francisco peaks show in the background beyond the far shore of Watson Lake.

Rain Dance

I felt comfortably safe stationed safely six miles away from the storm cell. Then this monster flash hit less than a mile away. It was time to head to safety of the car where I reminded myself of the unpredictable nature of lightning. When I processed the image I decided the lightning was shaped like a much needed rain dancer.

Courthouse Christmas

The gazebo and courthouse are lit up for Christmas following a snowstorm in Prescott, Arizona's Christmas City.

Willow Lake Sunrise

Along the quiet shores of Willow Lake in Prescott, Arizona.

Heavens Watson

The setting sun lights up the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky beyond Watson Lake.

Watson Lake Moonrise

A full moon rises to the east beyond Watson Lake and a small cottonwood that grows on an island.

Cottonwood Lane

A trip down a country road in Skull Valley takes us back to a different time.

Fort Whipple

Historic Fort Whipple sits before downtown Prescott with a backdrop of autumn colors.
