Hokey smokes! When I went to school in Flagstaff in the 80s, I heard about the poppies at Organ Pipe Cactus NM. I went there over spring break with my dad. No poppies. When I first got my first really good camera and lens many decades later (using a modest inheritance from my dad), I went to OPC NM in spring. About 5 poppies. This has been been a goal of mine for a gazillion years. Finally! A move back out west, a weird La Niña year, and a willingness to drive for hours and hours (both directions) for 3 glorious hours shooting an unbelievable field of poppies!
The weather's been so rotten lately that I've started to revisit pics from our Dec. 2022 holiday in Mexico. Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday (HMBT)!

This recipe is from “CookingLight” …so it’s not really bad for you, or should I say it’s much better for you than a normal meatloaf… this is my all time favorite meatloaf recipes, I think I make this at least once or twice a month…
Preheat oven to 400f
1 pound ground sirloin
1 cup Picante, divided in half
2/3 cup bread crumbs (I use plain)
1egg white lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Rubbed sage
Mix all ingredients together minus ½ the picante… form into a loaf, cook for 25 minutes… pour the other ½ of the picante on top and cook for another 5 minutes… let meat rest for 3 minutes before cutting…

Perhaps everyone has a place in the world which he would like to visit ... There is such a place for me - it's Mexico! Even as a child I enthusiastically devoured stories about heroes who explore Mexican expanses in search of the mythical El Dorado. They were riding the mustangs wearing ponchos and drinking tequila. Later I came across a book about the ancient Maya, which described how a Russian scientist Yu.V.Knorozov decipher their writing. Since I was interested in ancient civilizations and learned to speak the words "Teotihuacan", "Quetzalcoatl", "Titicaca" and others without hesitation. At the same time the Viracocha nickname appeared. And the third time I met with Mexico while preparing the review of the literature for the PhD thesis. Accidentally I came across an article in IEEE Spectrum "Electric Rainmaking Technology Gets Mexico's Blessing", about the development of Russian scientists which promises to change Mexico's arid climate. And then I decided that I will definitely go there ... What it will be, my Mexico?

Guanajuato was an important center during the Mexican War of Independence and was the site of the first major insurgent victory against the Spanish in 1810. The city is also known for its rich mining history, particularly for silver and gold, which dates back to the 16th century.

I'm really enjoying my trip to the Southwest, largely in part to the people and natives that I have met along my travels. Of course it helps to go with fellow photographer David Thompson.
As I was shooting the badlands of New Mexico, I was lucky enough to capture some Virga an observable streak or shaft of precipitation that falls from a cloud but evaporates or sublimes before reaching the ground, what a beautiful sight. On this particular evening I was alone with my yorkie photographing this very isolated area. I have to admit I was eager to capture this large storm cloud before quickly hitting the ground and running back to the car.
Out there you will find that a lot of these areas are accessible by dirt roads only and as you can imagine what usually happens to dirt roads in heavy rains, it washes the roads completely which quickly becomes a recipe for being stranded. You would have laughed watching me carrying my yorkie, camera gear and literally running as fast as I could to get back to my car which was a mile or so away so I could get the heck out of dodge before the storm came through.
All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better time while scouting and photographing this fantasy world of strange rock formations made of inter-bedded sandstone, shale, mud-stone, coal, and silt.

Okay Mates, here is today's photo mystery. Your task is to provide the narrative to this scene from Baja, Mexico.
I had an account with Flickr starting in 2006, but somehow it got messed up and I could no longer log into it. So I have created an album on my current Flickr with some of those images. I haven't been transferring any lately, but I'm now trying to see if there are some things that are worth adding to this Flickr account. I'll be posting more as I can.
