It's a good study of how well the sand verbenas last since we were in the same areas 3 weeks apart. When Lake Manly was bigger a few years ago, I found it virtually impossible to get a decent shot as van lifers were parked along the shore in groups with their super bright rows of lights on as...

Oh, I see. In other forums, the abbreviation DeVa is pretty common -- that's where I picked it up. Yes, record breaking heat in parts of the SW, Las Vegas/Death Valley would make it pretty uncomfortable. You may have to sit in your cooler filled with ice o_O

You had absolutely still water for that!

A sunset virga.....nice!

You should post the photos that you took from the same spots!

I went a similar route, but out to Pahrump instead of Bishop. I would think that the week before I was there, the flowers would have been more sparse and better the week after, but the heat wave that's coming will probably wilt them all, even at the higher altitudes. Even though Lake Manly is...

Thanks, Jim. Mostly, the wind/blowing sand was not going to be fun walking the dog along closed roads. That combined with me being used to 50 degrees as being "hot" and mid-70's to mid-low 80's is just not what neither I or my dog would find comfortable. Since it's DEath VAlley, I would think...

I'm hoping to be checking out the Red Desert in WY about then.

Nothing blooming in GSENM, at least where I went (Cosmic Navel/Ashtray/the Volcano). There was a paintbrush (yes, singular) when I was north of Moab to check out Delta Pool (which was more of Delta half-dead grasses). None of the shallow potholes that had moisture in late November had even a...

I made a quick trip out to Death Valley as I'd heard that the wildflowers were exceptional. And I wanted to get out of the 50-70mph winds we'd been having for the previous 2 weeks. I arrived midday and it was of course, fairly crowded, but when I went back out close to sunset, everyone was...

Nice sunrise color and thanks for pointing out the shadow of Mt Hood.

Nice alcove. The only time I was in Sedona, there was a guy sitting in one of those alcoves playing a flute. It could have been over the top kitschy, but it really worked.

Classic old adobe arising from the earth/1

That's what it's been like here, at home for the last couple of weeks. I would be perfectly happy to get some calm weather! Maybe when I get to Death Valley next week........🤞

Nice, Jim. I like the reflection of the sunset colors in the ice. 40mph gust are nothing....as you very well know! Still hard for the camera stability.

Very nicely seen & done!

Nice how they kind of float in the blackness.

Very nice job, Michael!

I remember finding that it was so different finding petros on boulders on the ground there instead of on cliffs. And in suburban back yards! Looks like you are covering some ground, Kurt! I just found out about petroglyphs in Wyoming that are also on boulders on the ground & hope to visit...

Cool diagonal strata, Kurt. When were you there? Road Trip Ryan says that access is currently closed, but someone who was there in October last year said no problem getting in.
