Those of you who have explored my website and follow me on Facebook will know my story: we moved from the UK to Arizona when my husband grasped a new career opportunity in 2014. It was the move across the world and seeing everyday things with new eyes that ignited my thirst for photographic knowledge. It drove my desire to capture both our new surroundings and our new everyday. Fast-forward three years and my skills are at a place I could never have dreamed they would be and I’m photographing places I always dreamed of being.
With less than a month to go before we move to Massachusetts and our focus shifting to new adventures, we’ve been rounding out our southwest US bucket list. There are so many top attractions in this part of the world, we are not only talking about dream tourist destinations but truly photographers’ dreams come true! Last week we toured northern AZ, Zion National Park and Las Vegas, and I want share a few of those Arizona wonders with you today.
OK yes, we had visited these particular locations before, and yes, I have shared images from those previous trips with you too. But seriously, these destinations are truly spectacular and with friends visiting from the UK, how could we not take them to these incredible natural wonders!
Grand Canyon, Desert View
Horseshoe Bend
Antelope Canyon
A great friend described our road trips to me: “Stop Click Go Stop Click Go Stop Click Go…!” Considering we visited these three places in less than 24 hours and I didn’t have room in my six images to include the other destinations of our trip, I think she must be right!

Wow I love the colours of antelope canyon. What an amazing looking place ❤
I hate to tell you this but I am green with envy. I keep telling Richard that this is the place that we have to go to. Everytime I see a photo of horsehoe bend or antelope canyon and remind him that we really need to go there. You have captured them both so beautifully. Those caves are just incredible.
Ceri, these are INCREDIBLE!! Absolutely breathtaking! Love the Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon shots so much!!
Absolutely stunning as always! So glad you are embracing the time you have there and exploring and capturing your dream destinations. Simply gorgeous. <3
Wow Ceri, such a beautiful post of some truly great beauty. I bet this was a fun trip, and one you’ll never forget.
