Friday Fotos: Snakes Slithering Across Arizona

Nina Schulz | Bisbee

And immediately I regretted it.
I thought how paltry, how vulgar, what a mean act!
I despised myself and the voices of my accursed human education.

And I thought of the albatross
And I wished he would come back, my snake.

For he seemed to me again like a king,
Like a king in exile, uncrowned in the underworld,
Now due to be crowned again.

And so, I missed my chance with one of the lords
Of life.
And I have something to expiate:
A pettiness.

—an excerpt from the D.H. Lawrence poem, “Snake.”

Blast From the Past: Editor Robert Stieve’s Photos of the Grand Canyon’s North Rim

Talk about a blast from the past… or at least a blast from last summer. I was going through our blog archives and I found these photos taken by Arizona Highways Editor Robert Stieve on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. These photos are fantastic and now that summer is right around the corner (unless, of course, you live in cities like Phoenix, Yuma, Tucson or Lake Havasu… then summer has already found you), I thought I might tempt you to book your trip to the Grand Canyon — North Rim or South Rim, both are fantastic!

Friday Fotos: Arizona’s Sublime Night Skies

Kristy Snyder | Tucson

I love night skies in Arizona. Frankly, if every Friday Fotos theme revolved around night skies, that would be just fine by me. Alas, we must diversify and showcase all of the beauty that is our gorgeous state … that said, it has been a while since our last night-skies gallery, and I decided it was time. Thank you to everyone who shared their photographs of night skies! You made my Friday (just so you know). I hope you’ll share this spectacular gallery on social media.

Enjoy!

Friday Fotos: Best Mother’s Day Gift Ever!

Tim Van Den Berg | Tucson

We sure love babies here at Arizona Highways… and in honor of Mother’s Day, this week’s theme is all about baby wildlife (and, in some cases, their mamas, too). As usual, we received several fantastic photographs — thanks to everyone who posted images to our Facebook page.

We hope you’ll share this week’s blog with your friends and family on social media.
Happy Mother’s Day!
