I recently had a short jaunt down to visit my bff in Pheonix, Arizona. The trip, although too short, was awesome! I love that she gave me a tour of her campus, not only because there is some awesome flw-ness going on but because the campus was totally inspiring!
ASU Gammage, the building in these first 4 images, is a performance hall and one of the final designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. Below is what I am calling the cake building, and the adjacent Art Museum. I was giddy photographing all of the geometric shapes, patterns and angles that played with and off of the buildings.
I took sooo many cacti photographs! The landscaping in Az follows a general theme and I have to say I quite like all the simple rock & cacti designs. I was originally just playing with the shadows from the cactus flower but then I noticed the gorgeous coloring - rose, sage, yellow, blues and purples all meshed together like a living watercolor.

I found these two palettes that have some of my cactus hues, actually they are basically the same palettes but different shades. I have a lot of these colors already in my house...but then I also think I have a lot of every color in my house. On a side note, I love design seeds - if you want to get lost in color for an hour, browse their website!
