Thanks to Nancy’s alertness we saw this striped whipsnake on Tuesday near Ash Canyon.  It’s very thin and about 24 inches long.  And very fast.  After it posed for a few minutes, it took off.  Quite a treat to see. … Continue reading →

Black Beauty

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Donna Catterick

After a weekend of gentle rain, the rocks and plants looked so bright with their layers of dust washed away.  And on our hike we were greeted by this guy – the first tarantula I’ve seen this year.  Time for … Continue reading →

Cactus fence

Posted on September 6, 2012 by Donna Catterick

This is a rather feeble barbed wire fence.  You can see one of the posts (or spreaders) is broken off near the ground, but the wire is still taut, so something holds it up. But for me, the real fence … Continue reading →

Sunrise Rainbow

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Donna Catterick

Rainbows in the morning are unusual here – most of the storms come in the afternoon. We were greeted by this sunrise rainbow over Mud Springs Mountain.  I like the frames, but I have a lot to learn.  This is … Continue reading →

California Nostalgia

Sand Dunes and Fences

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Donna Catterick

I risked a ticket on I-8 to get this shot, but had to have it for Friday Fences!  The folks in charge of the highways try to fence the roads, but at the Imperial Dunes in the southeast corner of … Continue reading →

Iconic Southwest

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Donna Catterick

This is a classic subject in New Mexico – adobe walls and gates.  Would have been ideal with some hollyhocks.

Colorful Houses

Posted on August 3, 2012 by Donna Catterick

Some of the houses in Truth or Consequences make me smile – I love the bold colors.  And I especially like it when neighbors join in.  Hope these bring a smile to you. [These have had some heavy processing in … Continue reading →

Sunset Rain

Posted on August 1, 2012 by Donna Catterick

A shower off to the west just at sunset.  It faded even in the 30 seconds it took to get the camera, but still was not our everyday color of rain! This is straight out of the camera, with all … Continue reading →

Rusty Roof

Posted on July 26, 2012 by Donna Catterick

Another shot from the trip to Globe, Arizona, an old mining town.  I’m taking Kim Klassen’s Beyond Layers class where I learn to use more of PhotoShop Elements.  So this started as last week’s lesson and I just kept going. … Continue reading →
