Mmm, sublime! (Except for the trash... :-( .) It must be great to get to see all the creatures, camas and even the clouds out there each doing their thing. If this is your sentence, it does not seem so harsh.
ReplyDeleteJesse this is turning into quite the photography blog. Amazing images man. You oughtta start posting a little map of where wanderings as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteBest,

Jesse, I have been kindly informed that the mysterious (to me) object I thought was a discarded hub cap is actually something much more benevolent and useful. Will you please explain it?
ReplyDeleteThanks,

Blue camas blue....nothing like it, except mountain bluebirds, I think. The little rattler is so fine. How many shots did it take to get that tongue flick? You are right on the eastern edge of Pacific tree frog range.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I didn't explain what it was in the photo, but, as far as my assumption leads (and my father will correct me if I'm wrong), it is a wildlife guzzler... providing water to those poor creatures that have traveled far and wide and cannot find a drink to wet their muzzle anywhere...
ReplyDeleteI think it is an UFO. Mom
ReplyDeleteMon cher Jesse de Voe, merci. I googled "wildlife guzzler" and learned lots! So nice to know "we" are providing this helping hand to the desert dwellers. Here and there, anyway. (In case your mom's right.)
ReplyDeleteJesse DeVoe, you take beautiful photographs.
