Returning to say looking at this photos again - The deep shadows and sharp angles reminding me of Annie Dillards - Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (1974). I know before your time I think but the first chapter walks you through the light show of the setting sun of the mountains of Virginia. If you have not read it you should. It is a deep walk into the woods and mountains she lived in. Something you are doing now in the deep western lands.
Oh, you really think we can pick just one?! while you are in a heat wave Minnesota dropped back down into the low 40's with wind chill down to 36 degrees. Not good for the veggies I just planted. Ok if I have to pick on it is the Cholla blooming in the campground. I may have to see if I can draw it in my Nature Journal just for fun!
Loved your haiku! I think you've got another talent to promote when you apply for AIRs in the future! It's so hard to pick a favorite photo but I'd have to go with the one of the cacti blooms in your sketchbook with the Big Bend stamp. Such a fun travel sketchbook!
So many gorgeous pictures, but come on.....do you even have to ask which is my favorite!? Walter wins hands down every time! 😂😂😂 Always so handsome. 😂😂😂
Great read and fabulous photos. Love the final pic of Casa Grande Peak

I haven't read it yet -- thanks for the recommendation ! Added it to my reading list!
Ha! No need to send me the post card, but I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the stegosaurus photo. Totally looks like the dinosaur to me too!
Yay! So glad someone else sees it too!

All the photos you took are amazing! I really love the photo with the moon setting behind the chisos mountains. I love reading about your adventures.
Thanks, Katie! That moon photo is one of my favorites too!

That was an adventure-filled week! I wonder if Mexico will be sending firefighters our way this year?
Hard to pick a favorite photos as I’ve never seen cholla cactus. So beautiful! But your drawing of Casa Granda is gorgeous! Those colors! 😍
The cholla cacti blooms are amazing! And thanks a bunch on the drawing!
So scenic and peaceful!
It really beautiful -- and peaceful! I just love it out here.
